    The Boot in the Tree: How a Clinic Hid a Serial Killer's Trail

    The Boot in the Tree: How a Clinic Hid a Serial Killer's Trail A ski boot wedged in a spruce at eye level, size ten and perfectly buckled, was found three quarters of a mile off-trail in untouched snow - and it belonged to a man who had been dead for days. That solitary object tied four victims to a pattern that took investigators six years to close; who placed the boot and why would they walk away without leaving a single track? In this episode, we follow the sequence of disappearances and the clinic appointments that connect them, tracking the moments from a February injection to bodies found with identical injuries, and asking how a routine routing form at a strip-mall orthopedic clinic became the clue that changed everything. Person: Marvin Mason Person: Larry Wagner Person: Kevin Pruitt Location: Calhorn Valley Orthopedic and Sports Injury, Route 9 strip mall Date: February 14, 2011 - Boot found at 7:42 AM on February 14, 2011, orange-and-black touring model, size 10 - Boot located about 0.75 miles from nearest trail, wedged in fork of fallen spruce at eye level - Larry Wagner missing between Feb 8 and Feb 11, 2011; body found Feb 18 roughly 1.5 miles from boot - Medical examiner documented blunt force trauma to posterior skull and ligature marks on both wrists for Wagner and Dennis Farley - Dennis Farley visited the same clinic eleven months later; his pickup was found with hazard lights blinking and a flat rear tire nine days after his appointment 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.

    The Handbag on the Gatepost: Why Her Bag Waited Ten Days

    The Handbag on the Gatepost: Why Her Bag Waited Ten Days A dark burgundy leather handbag sat upright on an iron gatepost five feet off the ground in four-degree weather - and inside was a grocery receipt dated January 4 when the owner had been missing since January 3. Whoever placed the bag carried it for ten days before leaving it on a rural road near Harwick Plateau; why was that receipt dated a day after Rachel Davis disappeared, and who set the bag on that post? In this episode, we outline the timeline from the last confirmed sighting to the moment the handbag was found, the discovery of the body, and the first investigative leads that tied a mine access log to the case. How did a receipt dated January 4 become the single clue that unraveled everything? Person: Rachel Davis Age: 54 Location: Cutter, Wyoming Event: Handbag found January 13; body recovered January 16 Person: Edward Burns - Handbag was balanced upright on an iron gatepost five feet off the ground on January 13 at 6:40 a.m, in four degrees Fahrenheit. - Contents of the handbag: Wyoming driver's license, $42 in cash, a ChapStick, keys with three teeth, and a grocery receipt dated January 4. - Rachel Davis last worked a double shift on January 3 and was reported missing by her daughter on January 6 after failing to respond. - Rachel's body was found beneath 18 inches of compacted snow and gravel in a drainage culvert near Harwick Plateau on January 16 and had been strangled. - Detective Nancy Murphy began by checking the Harwick Plateau camp access log for January 3 and found the name Michael Gray, age 47.

    The Dry Felt at Dawn: How a Casino Scrap Unmasked a Killer

    The Dry Felt at Dawn: How a Casino Scrap Unmasked a Killer A dry square of casino-green felt lay beneath a body after four inches of snow and eleven-degree temperatures - an impossible detail that meant the crime happened after the storm began. The fabric came from a Painted Drum Casino utility room and its trace leads to a facilities badge swipe that slowly unspooled a seven-hour blackout in Melissa Griffin’s last day; who moved her into the snowbank and why was hidden in plain sight until investigators followed a loyalty-card trail and a broken latch. How did a folded piece of felt and one badge entry become the key to a four-year puzzle? In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from the last hours Melissa Griffin was seen alive through the discovery at dawn, and how small operational records - badge logs, surveillance blind spots, and inventory - reframed the timeline and the investigation. Where did Melissa spend the seven hours between her estimated time of death and the moment she was placed on Mesquite Flat Road? Person: Melissa Griffin Date: December 10-11, 2011 Location: Mesquite Flat Road Case: Homicide by strangulation with braided cord Investigator: Detective Angela Sullivan - Body discovered by Christine Cooper at 6:15 AM on Sunday, December 11, 2011 - Four inches of snow had fallen overnight and temperatures were eleven degrees - Medical examiner estimated time of death around 5:00 PM on December 10, 2011 - Green felt square matched Painted Drum Casino table liner stored in a utility room - Facilities technician Roy Richardson badged into the main floor at an unusual hour on the night of December 10, 2011 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.

    The Coffee That Should Have Been Frozen: Wendy's Vanishing Trail

    The Coffee That Should Have Been Frozen: Wendy's Vanishing Trail A sealed paper cup sat on frozen grass at 4:00 a.m. in 19°F, ice in the tire ruts twenty feet away - yet the diner coffee inside was cold but not frozen, and the cup bore a logo 112 miles from Dellard; who would place a warm cup on a woman's bag by pole 447-C and why return to that spot after she vanished? What does a single upright nursing shoe and a half-empty bottle of lotion tell us about the last 22 minutes of Wendy Romano's routine? In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries from Wendy's last confirmed sighting to the moment a lineman found her bag, and follow the paper trail that tied maintenance notations to other disappearances; could the same corridor logs hold the answer to why Wendy never reached the hospital? Person: Wendy Romano Age: 38 Date: October 31, 2011 (last confirmed sighting); bag found November 4, 2011 Location: Bag found in weeds between a railroad embankment and a power line easement near pole 447-C, four blocks east of the Orvil bridge Item: Overpass Grill sealed paper cup placed on top of Wendy's canvas bag - Wendy walked a fixed 22-minute route from her duplex on Farnsworth Street to Dellard Regional Medical Center every night and was last seen leaving at 10:55 p.m. - On November 4 a lineman found Wendy's bag containing her library card, keys, a half-empty lotion bottle, one nursing shoe placed upright, and a sealed diner cup with lid crimped. - The temperature when the bag was found registered 19°F and ice formed in puddles, but the coffee inside the sealed cup was cold and not frozen, implying it had been placed there within hours. - Wendy had worked six years as an overnight LPN in the post-surgical ward, with no record of unexplained absences prior to her disappearance. - Investigator Warren Russo matched four other women who disappeared within twelve days of maintenance notations in Consolidated Freight’s operational logs that read “obstruction cleared.” 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.

    Wheelchair at the Dock: The Quiet Trail to Callander Lake A dry wheelchair sitting upright at the edge of Dock Four, padlocked gate behind it, and a missing man whose glasses lay on his nightstand - a quiet, staged image that refused coincidence.
