  • Locked Below Deck Eight Days: How Dennis Picked a Loose Screw

    Locked Below Deck Eight Days: How Dennis Picked a Loose Screw
    Aug 22 2026
    Locked Below Deck Eight Days: How Dennis Picked a Loose Screw

    Cold, small, and nearly invisible: a folded scrap of paper riding an outgoing tide led investigators to a man who had been trapped below deck for eight days in November 2017 - and who dismantled his confinement using a single loose screw and the sound of water under the hull. How did a damp note, an HVAC truck with magnetic signs, and one misdirecting pay‑phone tip all nearly let him disappear for good?

    In this episode, we tell how the discovery began, what the early investigation looked like, and the sequence of mistakes and small decisions that almost cost Dennis his life. How did Dennis’s habits, a white pickup at Kemper and Third, and a caller from a gas station combine to create a seventy‑two hour delay that nearly went fatal?

    Person: Dennis Donnelly
    Date: November 1-9, 2017
    Location: Calloway Basin Marina
    Case: Missing person found below deck after eight days
    Investigator: Detective Ruth Holt

    - A folded scrap of paper landed on a dock cleat at roughly 6:40 AM on November 9, 2017, and read: "I am below. Dennis Donnelly. Nov, been here eight days."
    - The air temperature at the time the note was found was 31 degrees.
    - Dennis Donnelly was 44 years old, worked as a parts coordinator at Farrow Supply in Portsmith, and lived three blocks from the Alder River on Kemper Street.
    - A white pickup with magnetic door signs was seen parked with hazard lights on at the corner of Kemper and Third at about 6:00 AM on November 1, 2017, blocking the bridge path.
    - On November 5, a caller named Neil Gardner used a pay phone two miles from Calloway Basin Marina to report seeing Dennis walking east on November 1, a tip that sent the investigation the wrong way for 72 hours.

    She Walked Out Holding a Lunchbox - Who Buried Nicole's Phone?

    Fear and bewilderment: a 28-year-old woman emerges from five days of captivity on a bridge holding an eleven-year-old orange lunch box while her phone is missing - who hid the device and why was the parking garage camera offline for six weeks? What crucial evidence is still buried that could explain how Nicole vanished on October 8, 2019?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Nicole Bailey’s last text at 4:52 p.m. to her discovery on the Osten Creek bridge five days later, outlining the gaps in surveillance, the unfulfilled maintenance request, and the odd details found inside the lunch box - and we ask what those clues mean for the missing phone.

    Person: Nicole Bailey
    Date: October 8, 2019
    Location: Hartwell Group parking garage, fourth level, Dunmore
    Witness: Melissa Donnelly (saw Nicole at 6:47 a.m. on a Thursday)
    Investigator: Detective Marilyn Coleman

    - Nicole sent a seven-word text at 4:52 p.m. on October 8, 2019 and was not seen again that afternoon.
    - The parking garage northeast exit camera had documented six weeks of being broken with an attached unfulfilled work order filed September 19, 2019.
    - Dean Tucker, a 36-year-old maintenance technician, filed the September 19 work order and worked for Orrin Building Services at the Hartwell Group building.
    - A gray full-size van was seen idling near the garage exit around 5:00 p.m. on October 8, reported later by pedestrian Doug Farris.
    - The orange lunch box Nicole held was 11 years old and contained a lid inscription with a building orientation, a train line reference, an arrow north, and the letters D, N, T.

  • He Counted 53 Footsteps: How Vernon Outsmarted His Captor

    He Counted 53 Footsteps: How Vernon Outsmarted His Captor
    Aug 20 2026
    He Counted 53 Footsteps: How Vernon Outsmarted His Captor

    He survived eight days in a dark basement by building a system so precise he could time his rescue to the hour the world above crossed the floorboards - he counted an average of 53 footsteps between nine and ten each morning. How did a fifty-six-year-old supply coordinator with no phone, no voice and only a rusted bolt and his own blood manage to write a note and signal for help that would bring him home?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Vernon Rafferty's disappearance to the discovery of his rust-and-blood note, following the clues that led investigators to the basement and the man who had stood on camera discussing the search. How did timing, a warped gap in the floor, and a painstaking tally of footsteps become the key to his survival?

    Person: Vernon Rafferty
    Age: 56
    Date of disappearance: September (week including the 6th-9th)
    Location: basement of Holloway Cleaners (two and a half miles from his duplex)
    Investigator: Detective Denise Fitzgerald

    - Vernon spent eight days trapped in a basement with no phone and no audible way to call for help.
    - He determined the busiest hour above the floorboards averaged 53 steps between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m.
    - Over three days he used a rust-stained bolt as a stylus and pressed his wounded palm to darken letters on a square of white paper.
    - His handwritten five-sentence note included his name, the word "basement," "locked from outside," "call police," and "I am alive."
    - A dark blue pickup truck parked in the alley behind his duplex the evening before his disappearance became one of five key pieces of evidence.
