A retired teacher finds a fire rekindled beside his sleeping tarp and wood in the ring that isn't his - a coal had been burning underground and someone else had cut and left tulip poplar in the pit. How did a careful, experienced outdoorsman wake to a blaze he swears he had put out, and who left the wood?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the night Russell Sharp made camp to the morning Carl Owens discovered a man staring at a fire, and through the four-month reporting that traced the people and clues involved. Listen to hear how a hand-sawn stump, an invisible shelter, and an underground root fire almost close the story - and what detail remains unexplained.
