The Red Lantern: Why a Stolen Vest Exposed a Hidden Killer

A red lantern rated for eleven hours was still burning when Gina Hall pulled it from Sullen Fork at 6:42 a.m. on November 8, 2014 - even though the man wearing it had been dead at least thirty-six hours. That impossible battery life, a stolen extra-large CRRL railroad safety vest, and a missing lantern from an upstream depot became the first threads of an investigation that refused simple answers: who dressed Frank Peterson before dumping him in the river?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Frank Peterson’s last known clock-out on November 5 to the discovery of his body three days later, the serial numbers that tied equipment to a freight yard supply locker and a depot twelve miles upstream, and the questions that those mismatched records raised about where he actually died.
