The Permit Log That Placed a Midway Vendor at Three Disappearances
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events around three missing women linked by a summer fair circuit and the permit records that tracked a traveling games vendor’s route. The episode lays out the routine of the circuit, the physical clues at a rural farmhouse, and the investigative choices that followed-what connection do the permits reveal?
Person: Gina Mitchell
Date: July 14, 2011
Location: Dellwood, Harlin County, Missouri
Person: Melvin Young
Event: Vendor permit itinerary requested August 2011
- Six laying hens found inside Gina Mitchell’s kitchen with food in a bowl and the coop latched from the outside the morning after she vanished.
- Neighbors spotted a wide white truck with orange lettering in Gina’s drive the evening she disappeared; no delivery was scheduled.
- Melvin Young, a midway-games vendor with eleven seasons on the circuit, is photographed near Gina at the 2010 Harlin County fair.
- Two other women from the same fair corridor, Lori Baxter (July 2008) and Sandra Pruitt (July 2009), had disappeared in separate counties before Gina’s case.
- Investigator Kevin Berry requested the fair circuit’s seasonal permit itinerary and used vendor locations and dates as a central thread in the inquiry.
