The Wall That Hid Her: Keys, a Notebook, and a 22-Year Secret

A concrete harbor wall that collapsed revealed a sealed cavity and a canvas tote bag knotted to an iron cleat, its contents untouched for twenty-two years - a ChapStick, car keys, and a spiral notebook labeled GINA. How did an anchored bag, sealed into poured concrete in 1961, end up holding the only physical trace tied to a disappearance from 1997?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline from Gina Long's absence on Monday, September 8, 1997, through the official conclusion of probable accidental drowning and the storm on September 14, 2019, that exposed a hidden cavity and the bag labeled GINA - asking what the notebook and keys really mean.

Person: Gina Long
Date: September 8, 1997 (absence); September 14, 2019 (wall collapse)
Location: Pelham Cove harbor / Crescent Slip
Status: Probable accidental drowning (1997 investigation)
Witness: Judith Weber (discovered bag on morning of collapse)

- The harbor wall collapsed at 4:15 AM on September 14, 2019, after a nor'easter with remnants of Hurricane Ida.
- The cavity exposed measured approximately 6 feet deep, 4 feet wide, and 5 feet high.
- The canvas tote's handles were knotted around an iron cleat mortared into the granite; the cleat had no functional purpose.
- Gina Long was 38 years old in September 1997 and had taught ceramics, kept a glaze notebook, and sang in the St. Brendan's Episcopal choir for eleven years.
- A kayak was found 18 days after Gina's disappearance near Gull Point, six miles north; no body, notebook, or keys were recovered then.
