The Glove in the Ice: How a Block Broke a Murderer's Alibi

Cold proof can be also the cruelest: a dark brown leather glove, worn at the heel from holding reins, found sealed at the exact center of a two-hundred-pound block of ice shattered a missing-coat alibi and turned a hotel kitchen into a crime scene. Who forged a Weller Brothers receipt, delivered ice to a woman with no icebox, and left the one object that would not be destroyed?
In this episode, we tell how a kitchen boy’s mallet split a block of ice and revealed a single glove that linked back to a missing coat and a woman pulled from a frozen lake six days earlier. Follow Deputy Kevin Stevens’s notebook entries and the trail from a forged receipt to a livery and the dead woman’s daily routine to see how that glove became the central question.
