    The Blue Cooler: How a Loose Screw Saved Two Women from a Volunteer Rescuer

    The Blue Cooler: How a Loose Screw Saved Two Women from a Volunteer Rescuer

    A single blue 50-quart cooler with "Sheriff's Search and Rescue" stenciled on it sat outside a pump house and led rescuers to two women alive after being held on a foreclosed hog farm; a loose screw, an eleven-second prepaid call, and a service technician who stopped her truck unraveled a man trusted with equipment. How did an eleven-second call and a bungee-corded cooler break open a scheme that hid two disappearances?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline from the eleven-second call at 6:47 AM to the discovery at 7:14 AM, following the evidence that connected a white pickup volunteer, a missing retired dental hygienist, and a woman held six weeks in a pump house. Which specific detail turned an otherwise routine search into a criminal case?

    Person: Denise McCarthy
    Date: August 4 (call at 6:47 AM; 9-1-1 at 7:14 AM)
    Location: Foreclosed hog farm pump house on Aldrich Mill Road
    Case: Two women found alive; volunteer rescuer later sentenced to 41 years
    Item: Blue 50-quart Igloo cooler with bungee cord and "Sheriff's Search and Rescue" stencil

    - Denise McCarthy called 9-1-1 at 7:14 AM and waited 22 minutes for a deputy after finding the cooler.
    - An eleven-second call was placed to Gina Cox's cell at 6:47 AM from a prepaid phone bought in Lennox Township.
    - Gina Cox left her house at approximately 6:50 AM on her usual two-mile walk and was taken at the service road crossing.
    - Detective Larry Davis found Gina's silver hoop earring at the base of the concrete barrier at the crossing.
    - Faye Drummond had been held in the pump house for six weeks after accepting help from a man in a white pickup.

  • The Dry Yellow Boot: How Marie Outsmarted Her Kidnapper

    The Dry Yellow Boot: How Marie Outsmarted Her Kidnapper

    The Dry Yellow Boot: How Marie Outsmarted Her Kidnapper

    A dry yellow child's rain boot in a wet culvert became the single clue that cracked a sixty‑eight hour abduction: Marie O'Connor packed that boot with dirt, wrote six charcoal words on a torn paper bag, and pushed it through a culvert toward Calloway Reservoir-so how did a boot and a torn message lead deputies to a barn on Route 9?

    In this episode, you will hear how routine habits, a prepaid phone call, and a string of precise timings converged into a survival plan that reached outside a locked barn; what did Marie do, step by step, to turn small details into a rescue?

    Person: Marie O'Connor
    Date: July 6-9, 2011
    Location: Barn on Route 9, Fenwick County
    Event: Abduction and survival over sixty‑eight hours
    Object: Yellow child's rain boot with white daisy print

    - Marie was held in a barn for sixty‑eight hours before deputies arrived.
    - Marie tore brown paper from a lawn‑supply box and wrote six charcoal words plus a partial number.
    - A prepaid phone was bought July 5, 2011, at a gas station in Alderton 11 miles west of Fenwick.
    - The prepaid phone called the veterinary clinic the morning of July 7 to ask if a rabbit could survive two to three days without hay.
    - Marie fed her rabbit Pepper at exactly 6:15 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.; the missed 8:00 p.m. check by neighbor Bev Strout triggered concern.

  • The Shoe on Caldwell Street: How a Note Broke Silence

    The Shoe on Caldwell Street: How a Note Broke Silence
    Jul 30 2026
    The Shoe on Caldwell Street: How a Note Broke Silence

    A single brown leather flat propped against a storm door held a torn grocery-bag note of twelve smeared words written in Jessica Lawson’s hand - and that brittle message pointed to the exact night and the blue house on Route Nine. How did a routine paper route, a size-seven shoe, and 18 unaccounted miles break a three-year silence and lead investigators to a captive woman?

    In this episode, we lay out the facts of the disappearance and the small, precise evidence that shifted the case: the timing of calls, the mileage records, the gas station footage, and a neighbor with an unexplained shoe on a shelf - could those details piece together who took Jessica and why?

    Person: Jessica Lawson
    Age: 48
    Date: June 4-9, 2014
    Location: 41 Caldwell Street, Grover Falls, Ohio
    Item: brown leather flat size 7

    - The note was twelve words written on a torn brown grocery bag with smeared ink identified as Jessica’s handwriting.
    - Jessica worked 16 years as a purchasing coordinator at Danner Feed and Grain and had lived 11 years at 41 Caldwell Street.
    - On June 4, Jessica logged 41 miles for work while her nearest scheduled stop was 23 miles, leaving 18 miles unaccounted for.
    - Gas station footage at Route Nine shows Jessica’s 2009 gray Subaru parked on June 4 at 2:17 p.m., with her standing outside for about 90 seconds looking toward the blue house.
    - Neighbor Edward Holmes owned a detached garage on Route Nine where he kept a single brown leather flat taken from Jessica’s porch and could not account for it when questioned.
