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.
