    A widower broker enters a locked cold-storage bay in Harwick Cove-broken locks and unexplained cash surface; who is responsible? The rear bay door sat open and let him walk into the cold In this episode, we follow the morning Mark Powell did not make it to his routine and the small, concrete details investigators used to trace his last movements.

Person: Mark Powell Person: Kenneth Duncan Person: Sandra Voss Date: March 4 Location: Crestline Cold Storage - A pair of prescription glasses with “Mark Powell” written on the arm sat on a metal shelf above where his body was found. - Carol Rogers, a fisherman, discovered the rear bay door slightly open at 6:14 a.m. on March 4 and pushed it wider. - Kenneth Duncan withdrew $4,200 in cash from the business account on February 27 with no vendor record or documented purpose. - The rear marine-supply bay latch at Crestline Cold Storage had been broken and logged by maintenance in November, leaving an entrance that no longer required a key. - Powell was three weeks from closing the sale of his half of the brokerage and had not held a key to that building in over three years.

    A man's boot prints are found on the locked side of a gate while the padlock is untouched - how is that possible? Two boot prints on the locked side of the gate, going both directions In this episode, we lay out the sequence of actions and evidence surrounding Warren Walsh’s death on the night of June 2-3 and the baffling physical details investigators found at Spur Road Nine. What were the movements recorded by keys, cell pings, and witness logs, and how do those timelines conflict with a locked gate and two sets of prints? Person: Warren Walsh Date: Night of June 2-3 (time window of death between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM) Location: Spur Road Nine barrier gate, Crestfall, Washington Person: Russell Russo (dispatcher who checked out the Spur Road Nine master key) Person: Heather Gallagher (lead investigator who recorded the prints) - Warren’s boot prints were pressed into mud on the locked side of the Spur Road Nine gate, showing an in-walk and a return with heel-to-toe spacing. - The padlock on the gate showed no evidence of having been opened or disturbed when the prints and body were found. - Russo checked out the Spur Road Nine master key at 9:14 PM and returned it at 10:28 PM on June 2, before Warren’s last cell ping at 11:58 PM. - Warren filed an internal pay-discrepancy complaint on May 28 that was stamped “resolved,” and he told a coworker on June 1 he planned to take it to the county labor board on June 3. - At 2:15 AM on June 3 Warren’s regular weekly call from his girlfriend deployed overseas did not happen; her first missed call series marks a precise minute of alarm before the body was discovered.
