  • The clay around it was rain-softened and smooth

    The clay around it was rain-softened and smooth
    Oct 15 2026
    The clay around it was rain-softened and smooth

    Imagine walking a shallow ravine and finding a three-layer birthday cake with hand-piped blue roses and a single pink candle, unlit, sitting on rain-softened clay with no footprints and no road for 140 feet. A county surveyor's casual discovery would soon expose a sixty-foot tunnel system, a padlocked concrete hatch, and a constructed world beneath an ordinary field. How did a man build an underground community long before anyone agreed to join it?

    In this episode, we trace how Todd Cooper assembled the Steadfast Ground Collective around fabricated credentials and predated paperwork, and how Amy Barnes and other members were moved underground into a tunnel complex on leased Terra Anchor Holdings land without recognizing the premeditation behind it.

    Person: Todd Cooper
    Person: Amy Barnes
    Location: Millhaven, Garner County
    Organization: Steadfast Ground Collective / Terra Anchor Holdings
    Period: Fourteen months active, eight months underground for Amy

    - Rhonda Casey, a Garner County surveyor, found a three-layer white frosted cake with blue roses and a single pink unlit candle on June 14.
    - Cooper had leased a forty-acre parcel under the business name Terra Anchor Holdings and ordered laborers to dig tunnels months before recruiting members.
    - Power of attorney agreements bearing member signatures were dated six weeks before the Collective formally existed.
    - A filing cabinet in the storage corridor contained asset agreements travel receipts and a folder of fabricated credentials including a stock photo and a nonexistent FEMA department.
    - Todd Cooper left the cake and the filing cabinet when he fled through the hatch and was later convicted on eight counts and sentenced to nineteen years.

  • She was standing waist-deep in a service trench on Kellner Road

    She was standing waist-deep in a service trench on Kellner Road

    Imagine pulling debris from a septic intake and finding a leather-bound ledger sealed in heat-fused plastic and weighted with a river stone that has stayed bone dry through two seasons of standing water. That impossible preservation suggests deliberate concealment and a bookkeeping system built to survive scrutiny. What did the pages inside reveal about the man who promised ancestral meaning and the community he constructed around that promise?

    In this episode, we investigate Roger Brown and the Meridian Bloodline Society, a nine-year operation in Callum Falls, Missouri, that sold a fabricated pre-colonial European lineage. We follow Duane West’s entry and escape, the ledger’s discovery by Peggy Williams, and how that book ultimately unraveled Brown’s scheme without resolving the deeper wounds he exploited.

    Person: Roger Brown
    Location: Kellner Road campus, Callum Falls, Missouri
    Organization: Meridian Bloodline Society / Meridian Institute of Hereditary Studies
    Period: Nine years
    Outcome: Convicted on fraud and exploitation charges

    - Peggy Williams found a leather-bound ledger sealed inside heat-fused plastic and weighted with a flat river stone in a septic tank the third week of May.
    - The Meridian Bloodline Society incorporated as a nonprofit with a $300 enrollment fee and grew to 130 members across six states.
    - Residents surrendered phones, ate fixed meals, and lived on a six-hour sleep window while paying $800 a month for room and "archival immersion."
    - Forensic analysis linked the ledger entries to Roger Brown and member funds to a Cayman Islands account held under the name Roland Beaumont.
    - Brown was convicted of eleven counts of wire fraud two counts of tax evasion and three counts of elder financial exploitation and sentenced to nineteen years.

    On a Tuesday morning in April of two thousand nineteen

    On a Tuesday morning in April of two thousand nineteen

    Imagine a laminated FEMA auxiliary badge, its printed expiration dated November 2009, threaded on a brand-new lanyard and placed on a concrete piling four miles from the nearest house. The old credential and the fresh lanyard didn’t match - and that mismatch set in motion an investigation that would unspool a twelve-year volunteer network built on borrowed authority. What did that solitary badge reveal about the Meridian Corps, and why was it left where anyone could find it?

    In this episode, we follow Megan Callahan’s discovery and the eleven-month probe that uncovered Jeffrey Underwood’s fabricated disaster history, a shell company skimming donations, and the people who noticed and acted. We trace how a preparedness group that raised $412,000 between 2012 and 2018 became a vehicle for fraud and how members like Connie Russo and Debra Shin helped expose it.

    Person: Jeffrey Underwood
    Organization: Meridian Corps
    Event: Discovery of FEMA auxiliary badge at Sutter Marsh
    Location: Sutter Marsh Wildlife Area and Bering, Caldwell County
    Period: 2007-2019

    - Birdwatcher Megan Callahan found a laminated FEMA auxiliary badge on a concrete piling at Sutter Marsh on April 9, 2019.
    - The badge’s expiration read November 2009 while the lanyard holding it had been purchased in late March 2019 in Millhaven.
    - Between 2012 and 2018 the Meridian Corps received approximately $412,000 in donations.
    - Aldgate Holdings received $400 monthly in rent deposits tied to the Corps and listed Patricia Dunmore as its sole officer.
    - Investigators recovered roughly forty FEMA auxiliary badges from a cardboard box in Underwood’s rental and he confessed on November 14, 2019 confirming the shell company and fabricated Louisiana history.
