  • You find Kathleen's clean-soled shoe in a ditch - do you call Webb or 911

    You find Kathleen's clean-soled shoe in a ditch - do you call Webb or 911
    Sep 24 2026
    A dress shoe near a ditch seven miles from Kathleen Ward’s home forces a choice: call her sponsor Webb or 911 - what would you do?

    You find Kathleen's clean-soled shoe in a ditch - do you call Webb or 911

    In this episode, we follow the moments after a gravel easement yields a woman’s shoe, wallet, and a baffling clean sole that refuses to match the scene. We trace Kathleen Ward’s ties to her sponsor-employer, the sudden appearance of a typed departure letter, and the small decisions that turned routine records into questions everyone had to answer: who had control, and who held the documents?

    Person: Kathleen Ward
    Person: Russell Webb
    Location: County Road 7, Harlan County / Dellbrook
    Date: early June 2019; departure letter dated three days before disappearance
    Event: clean-soled shoe and wallet found; visa documents kept in employer’s locked drawer

    - Road-grader Tammy Thompson finds a dress shoe and a wallet while regrading a drainage easement and stops to report it.
    - Deputy Marcus Olle arrives after Tammy’s call; Kathleen had been missing long enough for a coworker to notice she missed a regular Tuesday shift.
    - Kathleen, a 28-year-old on a sponsored work visa, had her original visa documents held in employer Russell Webb’s locked desk drawer.
    - In the months before she vanished, Kathleen quietly saved money and contacted a new immigration attorney, then told a friend she planned to tell Webb she was leaving.
    - Hartfield County victim services receives a typed voluntary departure letter dated three days before her last shift, which a handwriting comparison suggests was traced from Kathleen’s visa application.

  • How a Handyman Quietly Stole a Widow's Life and Will

    How a Handyman Quietly Stole a Widow's Life and Will
    Sep 24 2026
    How a Handyman Quietly Stole a Widow's Life and Will

    A slow, deliberate takeover unfolded in plain sight: original notarized will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare proxy amendment executed eleven days before being found in a wet canvas tote in a drainage culvert. The documents named a handyman as sole beneficiary of a 73-year-old widow's estate - how did they end up in that ditch, and who put them there?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events that shifted a longtime widow’s daily life, the daughter who noticed changes and collected evidence, and the single piece of physical proof that broke the pattern. What patterns of influence and control allowed a trusted helper to become the central figure in legal and personal changes?

    Person: Edna McCarthy
    Person: Melissa McCarthy
    Person: William Hansen
    Location: Birchwood Drive, Alderton, Ohio
    Document Date: executed eleven days before discovery

    - The legal documents (will, durable power of attorney, healthcare proxy amendment) were original notarized papers, not copies.
    - The documents were executed eleven days before being found in a canvas tote in a drainage culvert.
    - Edna McCarthy was seventy-three years old and had lived alone on Birchwood Drive since spring 2013.
    - William Hansen, the handyman, was forty-four and began doing regular work at Edna’s house by Christmas 2017 and most days by spring 2018.
    - Melissa McCarthy was twenty-eight in winter 2019 and had volunteered every Wednesday evening at the Adult Literacy Center for two and a half years without missing a shift.

    The IV Pole in the Garden: How a Surgeon Dismantled a Man

    In this episode, we follow the slow unspooling of a case where routine medical care became the pathway to something far darker. We trace how surgeons, banking records, and small-town routines intersected, and ask how systems missed the warnings along the way.

    Person: Russell Adams
    Person: Laura Olson
    Person: Meredith Cole
    Event: First encounter March 2019 (truck breakdown on County Road 14)
    Status: Seventeen surgical procedures over thirty-eight months

    - An IV pole was found standing in garden soil between two tomato plants in Harwick Falls, Ohio.
    - Russell Adams, a 54-year-old retired civil engineer, underwent seventeen surgeries in thirty-eight months and lost $340,000.
    - Laura Olson, a board-certified general surgeon, had approached strangers after roadside incidents in 2016 and 2019 and later appeared as registered agent for Periop Wellness LLC.
    - Meredith Cole experienced a similar pattern beginning in 2016, had nine procedures, and her bank flagged unusual transfers in 2018.
    - Wendy Burns, a clinical social worker, subpoenaed Russell’s bank statements and identified repeated payments to Periop Wellness LLC that Russell could not recognize.
