  • The reading glasses that surfaced and led them to a grave

    The reading glasses that surfaced and led them to a grave
    Oct 21 2026
    Prescription reading glasses found in a frozen soybean field suggest a woman vanished from her home-how did those glasses expose them?

    The reading glasses that surfaced and led them to a grave

    In this episode, we follow how a routine call about glasses in a field set off a chain of investigative moves across a rural Indiana township. The episode traces what was found in the house, the timing between disappearance and discovery, and the forensic clues that raised the central question: how did the glasses travel from a porch to a sealed field?

    Person: Linda Wright
    Date: glasses photographed January 17; Linda last seen January 4
    Location: Millpond Trail, soybean field and Wright property, Harlen Township, Indiana
    Person: Keith Dalton
    Item: prescription reading glasses (chain missing)

    - A rescue dog’s owner photographed reading glasses resting on frost in a soybean field one morning and called the non-emergency line.
    - Investigator Keith Dalton matched the lenses to Linda Wright’s prescription within forty minutes of the discovery.
    - Linda Wright had not been seen since January 4; the glasses were found 1.3 miles from her front door after ground had been frozen since November.
    - Inside the Wright house, domestic items like a laminated garden chart and rubber-banded seed packets showed no signs of disturbance or struggle.
    - Ground-penetrating radar later showed a subsurface disturbance at the north edge of Pruitt’s field, suggesting displaced soil consistent with a burial.

  • The fuel card that placed him on Route Nine at 9:40 PM

    The fuel card that placed him on Route Nine at 9:40 PM
    Oct 20 2026
    A mechanic’s fuel card logs him on Route Nine at 9:40 PM the night Linda Green vanished, tying a local routine to a violent interruption.

    The fuel card that placed him on Route Nine at 9:40 PM

    In this episode, we follow the timeline and tangible traces that shaped an investigation into Linda Green’s disappearance and death. What did a surviving submerged phone, a repeated method of ligature, and a fuel-card transaction together reveal about who was where and when?

    Person: Linda Green
    Location: Alkali Creek, Calla County
    Person: Dean Hansen
    Event: fuel card transaction at 9:40 PM
    Method: ligature used in death

    - Linda worked at the truck stop in Calvert Junction and drove Route Nine every Thursday between 8:40 and 9:30 PM.
    - Her phone was recovered in four inches of creek water after seventy-two hours and still received calls with a partial charge.
    - Linda left her grandfather Ray Green’s house without a coat the night she disappeared, narrowing where she could have been intercepted.
    - Dean Hansen ran the mechanic’s shop at the truck stop and later wrote that he watched her shift window for six weeks.
    - Hansen’s fuel card recorded a purchase fourteen miles east of his shop at 9:40 PM on the night of Linda’s disappearance.

  • The two-season tide chart betrayed a falsified log and ruined an alibi

    The two-season tide chart betrayed a falsified log and ruined an alibi
    Oct 19 2026
    A two-season-old tide chart in a boat log exposes an alibi and points to who broke Carl Foster’s habits. How did that tide chart betray them?

    The two-season tide chart betrayed a falsified log and ruined an alibi

    In this episode, we follow the routines that defined Carl Foster’s life - his daily pre-dawn run, the exact thirty-minute loop, the weekly calls, and the waterproof logbook he kept on the boat - and how small deviations became the clues investigators used to trace a break in those patterns. What in the rituals of a mariner and his neighbors becomes evidence when someone steps outside the rules?

    Person: Carl Foster
    Person: Robert Wells
    Person: David Sheridan
    Event: missing work order and unreturned key dated October 18
    Location: red channel buoy / canal bank ninety feet from a storm drain inlet

    - Carl ran the same thirty-minute route every morning, out before 6:40 and back by 7:10, never varying the turn.
    - He replaced the tide chart inside his logbook every year without fail; the chart found was two seasons out of date.
    - The waterproof logbook was recovered dry on a table inside a locked bait shed accessible by a key tied to an unfinished October 18 work order.
    - Neighbors like Tom Haskell and Sandra Pruitt testified to Carl’s rigid habits: exact return times and a six-year streak of Wednesday calls.
    - The storm drain inlet Michelle Cox found sat ninety feet from the red buoy where Carl always reversed course.
