Inspector Finds a Dead Man Who Crossed the Border That Morning: The Kent Holt Case

A polished passport stamped the morning a man was already dead: Kent Holt’s passport shows he crossed at Corda Pass five days before his body was found face-down in an irrigation channel on February 11, 1943. How did a broker’s abandoned notebook, inspector shift notes, and a sealed federal file all connect two purchasing agents killed by the same blunt force to the head-and who was using Holt’s identity after his death?

In this episode, you’ll hear the sequence of crossings, the timeline of disappearances, and the investigative trail that drew federal inspector Roy O’Connor into a wartime Southwest mystery. What did Gina Stevens’ shorthand notebook and Holt’s passport stamps really reveal about those four hours the document was on the Mexican side of the line?

Person: Kent Holt
Date: February 11, 1943
Location: Hidalgo County, New Mexico
Person: Gina Stevens
Case: Passport stamped after death

- The body of Kent Holt was found face-down in a dry irrigation channel by Stanley Vogel at 6:40 a.m, on February 11, 1943.
- Holt’s passport indicated he had crossed at Corda Pass five days before his body was found, though the coroner estimated he had been dead six to eight days.
- Holt was 49 years old and worked as a purchasing agent for a Tucson mining supply company, with at least eleven crossings at Corda Pass over four years.
- A second victim, Elliot Crane, 44, was found buried beside a county road south of Reata Station and had been in the ground for roughly ten months; both victims suffered blunt force trauma to the back of the head.
- Gina Stevens’ palm-sized notebook contained compressed shorthand documenting crossing dates, inspector shift rotations, and vehicle backup patterns covering entries back to 1941.
