The two-centimeter gap that let her fold a note out in time
In this episode, we reconstruct seven days in August 2019 to trace what Cheryl Hamilton knew, the actions she took while held in Unit 114 of the Dellard Industrial Park, and how a single folded note became the only outward line she could make. What decisions and methods did she use to turn a two-centimeter gap into a chance?
Person: Cheryl Hamilton
Date: August 6-9, 2019
Location: Unit 114, Dellard Industrial Park; Colbert Road; Portsmith Township
Event: Missing person, folded note slipped under van wiper
Investigator: Ronald Holt
- Cheryl left her mother’s house at about 8:40 PM on August 6 and never arrived home, van intercepted roughly 0.4 miles from her apartment.
- A power outage blanketed part of Dellard County at 9:15 PM the night she vanished, coinciding with the interception location’s darkness.
- Brian Mills had accessed her apartment building on a service call six weeks earlier and his badge scanned the floor again on July 23; his van logged seven unexplained miles on August 6.
- Inside Unit 114 Cheryl noted the generator’s cycling pattern, used it as a clock, and applied pattern-recognition skills from medical billing to determine she was in a commercial space.
- Investigators found a pre-staged notepad and a pen in the unit, Cheryl’s fingerprints on the pen cap, and confirmed a two-centimeter weather-strip gap at the bottom of the roll-up door through which she pushed folded notes for two days.
