Placemat, River Stone, and the Wednesday Night That Broke a Town

A laminated placemat from the week of April 7th, found 3.5 miles from the diner that printed it and pinned under a river stone in a drainage depression after three rainstorms, became the single clue that cracked a case in seventy-two hours. A 22-year-old who never missed a Wednesday vanished after locking up a game night; what did that placemat point investigators toward?

In this episode, we follow the timeline of George Meyer’s disappearance, the early witness account that steered the investigation the wrong way, and the bank record that changed everything - leading to the question: why was George’s debit card used at 6:52 a.m. at a gas station one mile from home?
