    The Watch That Recorded a Killer: Mile 9's Last Hour

    The Watch That Recorded a Killer: Mile 9's Last Hour A cracked Casio ProTrek quietly recorded a barometric trail that captured the last hour and a half of Jeffrey Hamilton’s life, logging a sharp pressure drop nineteen minutes before he left the diner and three stab wounds that left him dead in a gravel strip. Who - or what - changed the timeline that every witness believed, and how did a wristwatch overturn the only version of events that made sense? In this episode, we follow the facts from the truck stop lot to the forensic lab and explain what the watch’s internal log revealed about timing, location and activity before and after the death. Why did the Casio’s readings contradict the apparent sequence of events outside the diner? Person: Jeffrey Hamilton Age: 61 Event: Found dead with three stab wounds Location: Gravel strip between dumpster corral and cinder block wall at Crossroads 118 truck stop Device: Casio ProTrek with barometric readings stored every 15 minutes - Time found at scene called in by Gary Petrie at 4:51 a.m. - Watch logged barometric data every 15 minutes covering the last 47 hours. - First anomaly on watch occurred at 9:52 p.m., 19 minutes before security footage shows Hamilton entering the diner at 10:11 p.m. - Security corner camera had been offline for six weeks due to a lightning strike and was not repaired. - Watch data sat unread for 11 days before forensic technician Ray Dominguez extracted the internal log.

    One Shoe Left Behind: The Murder of Kenneth Walsh

    One Shoe Left Behind: The Murder of Kenneth Walsh A single clean white Nike sneaker, size 10 left, double-knotted, was placed on a bait table inside a locked shed while the padlock showed no sign of being opened - and two days later Kenneth Walsh’s body was found two miles away wearing only the right shoe. Who carried a shoe into a locked shed with a key and a message, and why was the shoe placed with such deliberate care? In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the October thirteenth birthday party to the discovery of the shoe and the body, laying out the physical evidence and the timeline that raises the central question: who had access to the shed and what did that shoe mean? Person: Kenneth Walsh Location: Calder Cove, central Maine coast Date: October 13-15 (party on October 13; body found October 15) Age: 24 Cause: Blunt force trauma to the back of the skull - Kenneth left the Trawler's Rest at approximately 10:50 PM on October 13 after drinking two beers and walking the usual 0.7 miles toward Birchwood Avenue. - A brass Master Lock on the north dock shed was padlocked at 8:27 PM on October 13 and showed no evidence of having been opened before the shoe was found. - The left shoe, a clean white Nike sneaker size 10 with a double knot, was placed on a bait preparation table between two trays of herring sometime between 8:27 PM and 5:30 AM. - Kenneth’s body was found face down in Gannet Cove at 6:48 AM on October 15, about two miles north of the dock, wearing only the right shoe. - The medical examiner found no water in his lungs and determined death was from a single blunt force strike to the back of the skull.

    The Dry Red Coat: How a Changed Door Code Betrayed a Killer

    The Dry Red Coat: How a Changed Door Code Betrayed a Killer A dry red coat hung on a locked service promenade railing after a night of nonstop rain - completely free of moisture, soil, or river residue. That impossible detail forced investigators to ask one question: how did a coat arrive behind a gate that required an electronic access code, and who didn’t know the code had already been changed? In this episode, we follow the timeline, the physical evidence, and the procedural detail that became central to the case. What starts with a missing woman and a puzzling garment leads to a bureaucratic rotation - a changed door code - that ultimately pointed investigators toward a suspect no one expected. Person: Sharon Graham Date: body recovered on February 6 Location: Carrow River, beneath Fenwick Street bridge Status: cause of death manual strangulation; time of death between 9:00 PM and midnight on February 2 Investigator: Detective Valerie Morris - Sharon Graham was 48 years old and worked 11 years as a surgical scheduler at Millhaven Regional Hospital. - Sharon’s last confirmed activity was a text sent at 8:47 PM on February 2: “just finished dinner, call you tomorrow, love you.” - Sharon’s body was found two miles downriver in the Carrow on February 6. - The service promenade where the red coat was hung is a 31-foot walkway behind a locked gate requiring an electronic access code. - The access code for the gate had been rotated four days before Sharon’s body was recovered.

    The Locked Pump House, a Shoe, and a Notebook of Secrets

    The Locked Pump House, a Shoe, and a Notebook of Secrets A single shoe inside a padlocked pump house broke every assumption about Angela Berry’s disappearance and helped put Jerry Hoffman behind bars for life. The locked room, an intact padlock, and a later-discovered notebook with fourteen entries-only two names known-leave one central question: how did a quiet key and a bureaucratic oversight expose months of calculated violence? In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Angela’s last known day through the missing-person report and the discovery that shifted the case, and we follow how a utility key, a routine contractor, and a notebook expanded a single murder into a larger mystery. What did the notebook reveal that turned suspicion into conviction? Person: Angela Berry Date: April 2, 2019 Location: Sable Lake / Calloway (Birch Terrace) Person: Jerry Hoffman Item: notebook with fourteen entries - Angela Berry was 31 years old and taught second grade at Calloway Elementary. - Angela had last been seen leaving Calloway Elementary on the afternoon of March 31, 2019. - Jerry Hoffman was 38 and ran Hoffman Dock and Property Services with past access to a pump house key. - The padlock on the pump house was intact with no broken latch or shattered window when the shoe was found. - The notebook contained fourteen entries, of which only two names were identified.

    She Vanished Mid-Journey: The Murder of Patricia Fisher

    She Vanished Mid-Journey: The Murder of Patricia Fisher The suitcase appeared at 6:14 a.m., leaking a steady drip from a reset triple-zero lock and a name tag that read FISHER P.; the owner, 52-year-old Patricia Fisher, had boarded the Sunset Limited in Tucson the night before and never arrived in San Antonio. How does a checked, locked bag come back wet with its combination reset and the passenger gone without a trace? In this episode, we trace the timeline from Patricia’s last confirmed text at 8:47 p.m. on March 3, 2019 to the discovery of the leaking suitcase on the platform at Salta Junction, and we follow the questions that spread across five jurisdictions: where she vanished, what the dripping bag reveals, and why investigators only later connected her disappearance to two other missing women. Person: Patricia Fisher Date: March 3, 2019 Location: Sunset Limited train route (Tucson to San Antonio) / Salta Junction depot Age: 52 Reporting: Amber Fisher reported her missing on March 5, 2019 - Patricia purchased a bottle of water and a magazine at approximately 6:30 p.m. the evening she boarded. - Her last text to her daughter Amber was sent at 8:47 p.m.: "On the train. seats are better than I expected, love you." - The leaking burgundy Samsonite was found by worker Dale Pruitt during a morning check at 6:14 a.m., with water pooling on the concrete. - The suitcase lock had been reset to triple zero and showed evidence someone had opened and reclosed it. - Salta Junction is a town of roughly 11,000 where the depot camera footage shows no record of Patricia disembarking.

    She Said Goodnight at 6:51: The Murder of Erin Novak The front door was wide open at 8:47 a.m. and a single low-heeled woman's shoe sat centered in a twelve-foot hallway - no second shoe, no forced entry, and Erin Novak's paper planner gone for nine years. Who left the shoe as if it were a message, and what did the missing planner hide about the last hour of her life? In this episode, we follow the timeline in detail: Erin's routines, the call to her mother at 6:51 p.m., the discovery at 8:47 a.m., the missing planner, and the medical examiner's window of death between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. What does the placement of one shoe and the absence of one small book tell investigators about what happened that night? Person: Erin Novak Date: September 14, 2009 (discovery) and September 13-14, 2009 (last known activity) Location: 44 Orchard Terrace, Weybridge Falls Age: 44 Medical Examiner Window: 7:00 p.m, to 10:00 p.m. - Door found wide open at 8:47 a.m. by mail carrier Doug Spicer - Single low-heeled woman's shoe centered in the hallway, no matching shoe found in the house - Erin called her mother at 6:51 p.m. from Orchard Terrace and Maple Run and said goodnight - Keys were on the hook, phone was in her bag, bag was where she always left it - Her paper accordion-fold planner was missing from the scene and remained missing for nine years To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

    Dead Man's Boots Appear on His Porch: The Murder of Donald Davis

    Dead Man's Boots Appear on His Porch: The Murder of Donald Davis A tidy pair of boots, laces tucked, toes pointing at a cabin door - left on the porch more than thirty-six hours after the man who wore them had died a mile and a half away. Someone removed Donald Davis’s boots and set them neatly by the door; who did that, and why, is the single image that refuses to be explained. What did those boots reveal about the person who left them there? In this episode, we tell the chronological account of Donald Davis’s last days, the discovery that led to the search, and how investigators moved from an empty cabin to a body in a drainage channel - asking whether the porch scene was a staged ordinary gesture or an intentional clue. Person: Donald Davis Date found: March 14, 2017 Time found: 2:15 PM Location: drainage channel below Alderman Flat, accessible from Sutter's Mill Road Cause of death: blunt force trauma to the back of the head - Davis rented a cabin for $380 per month, always paid in cash and on time. - Neighbor Edna Pruet discovered the boots on the porch and called the Sheriff's Office at 9:22 AM on March 14. - The medical examiner determined Davis had been dead since the night of March 12, a gap of more than 36 hours before the boots were noticed. - Davis’s body was found face-down in approximately 18 inches of standing water. - Debra Finch called Davis at 9:47 PM on March 12; the four-minute call was the last time anyone heard from him.

    The Field Gives Her Back: The Jean Riley Murder Case

    The Field Gives Her Back: The Jean Riley Murder Case A pair of labeled reading glasses surfaced from a harvested field on October 4th, 11 feet above a buried body - the soil itself seemed to give her back. How did a teacher's glasses, labeled "J. Riley - Room 14," end up lens-up in frost while everything else remained held beneath the ground? In this episode, we walk through the timeline from Jean Riley's last evening walk on September 22nd to the moment the glasses were uncovered during harvest, outlining the discoveries, the silence that followed for twenty-seven years, and the single physical clue that reopened everything: could a drainage field and a frost cycle reveal what investigations could not? Person: Jean Riley Date missing: September 22 Date glasses found: October 4 Location: Kenneth Schmidt's field, Pritchard Flats Investigator: Detective Donald Green - Jean Riley was 54 years old and a seventh-grade English teacher at Alderton Middle School for 22 years. - She left for an evening walk just after 8:00 PM on September 22 and failed to send her usual "I'm home" text. - Patricia Holm called 911 at 9:47 AM the following morning after driving Cobb Street twice and finding no sign of Jean. - A thin streak of iron-rich red clay was photographed on a northern guardrail post of Cobb Street by Detective Donald Green. - On October 4, farmer Dale Furrow found reading glasses in their case with adhesive tape labeled "J. Riley - Room 14," tilted at a 20-degree angle and partially extruded from the soil.
