A woman’s morning routine and a broken service-latch reveal a shadow in a glass plate-did that single routine let a killer slip in?

The broken service-latch let him slip in and steal a life

In this episode, we follow the morning April Lawson disappeared, the discovery of her body at the Harwick Grain & Feed loading dock, and the slow uncovering of photographic evidence that had sat undeveloped for decades. What did a broken rear latch, a precise timetable, and an undeveloped plate reveal about who could enter without leaving a record?

Person: April Lawson
Date: July 14, 1931
Location: Harwick Grain & Feed loading dock
Witness: Kathleen Vaughn
Evidence: three glass-plate negatives kept in a photographer’s truck

- April Lawson fed a three-legged cat named Pocket every morning at six fifteen and every evening at seven for four months without fail.
- The Harwick service entrance latch had been broken for weeks, allowing entry without a key and bypassing the front time-clock.
- Otto Briggs kept a front time-clock ledger that showed no punch for April on the morning she was found.
- Frank Gray, an itinerant photographer, used the rear entrance repeatedly, kept glass-plate negatives in his truck, and one plate later showed April at the dock.
- Cynthia Duncan, a records clerk, held a negative to the light on July nineteenth and recognized April’s image while the cat had been yowling at an empty doorway for twelve hours.
