The Pill Organizer That Proved the Sea Was Lying

A dry pill organizer washed up in three inches of receding tide with the name "P. Rogers" written inside, despite having been in the water - and that tiny object forced a coastguard search to reopen after three people were declared missing. How did a $3 pill box survive the sea, and what did it reveal about a current no chart had named?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the Annalee B.'s departure to the moment the pill organizer was found, following the paper trail, fuel logs, and local accounts that shifted the story. What hidden current and small decisions turned a routine freight run into a rescue and a reckoning?

Date: December 5, 2009
Location: Dunbar Passage / Calloway Landing / Pelican Key
Person: Peggy Rogers
Vessel: Annalee B.
Status: Three people missing, presumed dead (search later suspended)
