Surveyor Finds a Lone Shoe on a Sealed Well: The David Riley Case
-
Letto da:

Di:
A single leather dress shoe, upright and deliberately placed on a concrete well cap, stopped a county surveyor cold - and eighteen feet below that cap lay a skeleton that had been missing since 1979. The body wore a corroded wristwatch and a canvas wallet; beside it, the shoe’s match. Who wrote the one penciled line that, for decades, hid the clue to where David Riley was buried?
In this episode, we follow the discovery that reopened a cold case and trace the decades-long path of a missing man, the detective who kept returning to the file, and the overlooked note that might answer what happened to him.
Person: David Riley
Date: September 10, 1979 (last confirmed movements); September 3, 2022 (discovery)
Location: Talvert Township well; truck found behind Sable County grain elevator
Status: Remains discovered after 43 years
Detective: Carl Wentz
- A county surveyor, Kent Turner, found a single leather dress shoe sitting upright on a concrete well cap on the morning of September 3, 2022.
- At eighteen feet below the surface under that cap, a skeleton lay with a corroded wristwatch, a canvas wallet, and a cloth belt with a brass buckle; a second matching shoe was beside the skeleton.
- David Riley was 44 years old in autumn 1979, drove a white Ford pickup with a cracked passenger mirror, and bowled every Tuesday at 6:45 p.m, for three years without missing.
- Riley’s last confirmed location was the Ingram farm on the Greer-Sable county line on the afternoon of September 10, 1979; his truck was found eleven days later unlocked behind the Sable County grain elevator with his bowling bag on the passenger seat.
- A penciled entry in Belden Roofing’s job schedule in Riley’s handwriting read “Talvert - well property - Gardner,” a line that remained unpursued for forty-two years.
