Dry Receipt in a Frozen Glove: How a River Hid a Murder
-
Letto da:

Cold certainty: a frozen brown leather glove pulled from the Aldene River on January 9, 1973 contained a completely dry-cleaning receipt - dated January 7 and issued to Gordon Tate of 14 Aldene Mill Road - an impossibility that sat unnoticed in evidence for 31 years. What did a dry receipt inside a frozen glove mean, and how did it unravel a case otherwise written off as a voluntary disappearance?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the morning the glove was found through the long dormancy of the case in the sheriff’s basement, tracing the overlooked witness reports, the routine Thursday routines of a small-town man, and the single physical clue that later changed everything. How did routine paperwork and a river’s winter skin hide a crime for decades?
Person: Gordon Tate
Date: January 9, 1973
Location: Aldene River / 14 Aldene Mill Road
Case: Item seven-C (glove with receipt)
Status: Evidence stored in sheriff’s basement for 31 years
- The glove was found at 7:15 AM on January 9, 1973 by Michelle Simpson while checking her third trotline.
- The morning air temperature when the glove was found was eleven degrees.
- The dry-cleaning ticket inside the glove was dated January 7 and listed a charcoal wool overcoat for Gordon Tate of 14 Aldene Mill Road.
- Detective Raymond Coble logged the glove and receipt as item seven-C and noted “origin of receipt unclear; no body recovered; no further action.”
- The case file, including witness Helen Marsh’s sighting of April West on January 3, remained in the sheriff’s department basement through four sheriffs and two building renovations.
