  • They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind

    They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind
    Jul 31 2026
    They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind

    Nearly a million dollars in fur coats were moved forty feet inside a climate-controlled vault and left in perfect order - with no alarm, no forced entry, and an authorized keypad code used at 11:59 p.m. What could explain a deliberate, meticulous relocation of 41 cedar-lined coats that ended with nothing stolen?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events at Harcastle Cold Storage on September 9, 2014, trace the discovery and investigation, and track the paper trail that began with a serial number on a commercial garment rack - but why would whoever entered use a valid code, move the coats, then walk away?

    Date: September 9, 2014
    Location: Harcastle Cold Storage, Merritt, Indiana
    Person: Stanley Long
    Investigator: Megan Simpson
    Value: $940,000

    - 41 fur coats were found sealed in individual cedar-lined polyethylene bags on a single wheeled rack.
    - The combined insured value of the coats was $940,000.
    - The vault keypad logged two valid entries in 24 hours: 4:47 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.
    - The rack bore a serial number that traced to a cash purchase delivered to Colton Meridian LLC.
    - Colton Meridian LLC had been registered in Indiana 18 months earlier and had no employees, revenue, or clients on record.

  • The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy

    The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy
    Jul 30 2026
    The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy

    Fear of a quiet, precise theft - a long game that turned paperwork into a weapon - leads a dog walk and a single stamped barrel to a federal investigation; how did a sealed cask marked BW-4417-C end up leaning against Harwick Bonded Storage’s rear fence and what hidden entries in the manifest made it possible?

    In this episode, you’ll hear how a routine inventory check and a photograph taken by a passerby started a chain of events that exposed altered federal records and a missing barrel; could the missing tax liability have been invisible on purpose?

    Person: Sandra Pruitt
    Person: Peggy Berry
    Person: Lloyd Davis
    Date: August 11, 2019
    Case: Lot BW-4417

    - Sandra Pruitt found a bourbon cask leaning against the rear fence of Harwick Bonded Storage on a Sunday morning in August 2019.
    - The cask bore the stencil number BW-4417-C which Sandra photographed and reported to the sheriff’s non-emergency line.
    - Dunmore Creek Distillery had sent forty-eight casks of eight-year bourbon to Harwick in March 2019 under lot number BW-4417.
    - Peggy Berry, a twenty-eight-year-old TTB investigator, pulled Harwick’s full inventory and found forty-seven physical casks though the manifest listed forty-eight, with twenty-two entries marked “empty, condemned.”
    - Lloyd Davis’s initials appeared on the handwriting attached to the condemned entries and on a weight receipt filed the same week recording a shipment departure.

  • The Receipt Library: How Patience Turned Petty Cash into $41K Mystery

    The Receipt Library: How Patience Turned Petty Cash into $41K Mystery
    Jul 29 2026
    The Receipt Library: How Patience Turned Petty Cash into $41K Mystery

    A slow, patient theft hid inside routine paperwork: forty-three real receipts totaling $4,812 were found sealed in a zip-lock bag and dated to already-closed quarters, while the plant’s discontinued routing-stamp ink showed the envelope was staged more than a year earlier. How did two years of preparation let petty cash slip through six consecutive internal controls and cost the company $41,230?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline from a July 9 morning discovery to an eighteen-month probe, detailing the physical evidence, the audit anomalies, and the investigators’ methods as they piece together who built the receipt library and why the scheme relied on patience.

    Person: Roy Smith
    Date: July 9, 2014
    Location: Aldus River near Aldus Basin Hydroelectric Generating Station
    Amount: $4,812 (43 receipts); total loss $41,230 over 18 months
    Investigator: Nicole Harrison

    - The sealed corporate envelope contained 43 receipts totaling $4,812, all signed by the same employee.
    - The envelope bore a routing stamp using ink the plant discontinued in early 2013, indicating it was pre-stamped over a year before discovery.
    - Aldus Basin employed 112 people and maintained a petty cash fund capped at $20,000, reconciled quarterly.
    - Terry Zimmerman had collected legitimate vendor receipts for roughly two years before being assigned petty cash administrator in December 2012.
    - Forensic analysis found 61 receipts that appeared as exact duplicates across multiple quarterly submissions.
