  • The Reedy's gas-station truck that turned Alan's schedule into a countdown

    The Reedy's gas-station truck that turned Alan's schedule into a countdown
    Aug 23 2026
    A folded jacket and a concrete weight on a gravel bar turn a missing man’s routine into a countdown - did someone who knew the Cassen make the window?

    The Reedy's gas-station truck that turned Alan's schedule into a countdown

    In this episode, we follow the discovery that starts a missing-person inquiry: a folded jacket pinned by concrete on a seasonal gravel bar and the surveillance trail that complicates an alibi. The story traces the last confirmed contacts, the river’s timing, and the evidence that forced investigators to rethink who knew Alan’s routine - who was close enough and knew the Cassen well enough to use it as a clock?

    Person: Alan White
    Date: June 3
    Location: Cassen River gravel bar
    Person: Bruce Sharp
    Location: Reedy's Gas and Go

    - County surveyor Tracy Adams found a folded, dry jacket pinned by a chunk of concrete on a gravel bar that is underwater most of the year.
    - Alan White was last seen leaving his night shift at Caldwell Cold Storage; his phone pinged 0.4 miles from the loading dock at 11:38 p.m.
    - Alan had a consistent Wednesday-evening library routine and was known at work as reliable; he missed his regular Wednesday.
    - HVAC contractor Bruce Sharp worked at Caldwell earlier in the year and his debit card and truck show him at Reedy’s Gas 0.3 miles from the dock nine minutes before Alan’s shift ended.
    - Investigators photographed the jacket before touching it, treated the concrete as brought-in evidence, and concluded the river’s low window had likely been exploited.

  • The Burgundy Bag on Track Nine Set the Clock

    The Burgundy Bag on Track Nine Set the Clock
    Aug 21 2026
    A retired birdwatcher finds a burgundy bag on a freight spur; a missing payroll memo hints at a planned disappearance-did they make it in time?

    The Burgundy Bag on Track Nine Set the Clock

    In this episode, we follow the discovery of a deliberately placed bag on a freight-only platform and the paper trail a payroll auditor left behind. The episode covers the early-morning find, the auditor's freight manifest memo, and the timestamps that tie people to one night-what do those three timestamps mean?

    Person: Alice Anderson
    Person: Gail Turner
    Person: William Mueller
    Date: April 8 (last seen), April 11 (Amtrak e-ticket), March 20 (memo)
    Location: Track nine, Harwick Junction depot, Doña Ana County, New Mexico

    - Alice Anderson discovered a burgundy hard-shell bag upright on Track nine at 6:14 AM during her sunrise birdwatch and photographed it before calling anyone.
    - The bag contained three days of folded clothing, toiletries in a clear bag, and a printed Amtrak e-ticket for Denver dated April 11.
    - Gail Turner, a 63-year-old payroll clerk turned contract auditor, had submitted a formal memo on March 20 naming William Mueller after finding recurring small weight shortfalls in freight manifests.
    - Security and keycard logs place William Mueller in the freight staging area at 1:47 AM on April 10, with the northbound freight leaving at 2:20 AM and the bag found at 6:14 AM.
    - Investigator Cynthia Schultz prioritizes the staging of the bag and Gail's memo to HR, treating the tidiness and placement as a deliberate message rather than an accidental disappearance.

    The urgent-care record that cleared a killer and reset the clock

    This episode details the mysterious reappearance of a cat and the discovery of a medical record that upends a murder investigation, forcing detectives to re-examine overlooked evidence.

  • She Buried Her, Painted Her Nails, and Walked Away-Why?

    She Buried Her, Painted Her Nails, and Walked Away-Why?
    Aug 18 2026
    A neighbor drives the night Tracy O’Brien’s body is buried-and someone paints her orange nails after she’s in the ground; did they make it in time?

    She Buried Her, Painted Her Nails, and Walked Away-Why?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline and physical evidence surrounding Tracy O’Brien’s January burial and the strange detail that became the case’s pivot: the bright orange nail polish on a buried hand. We trace the movements, calls, and records that narrowed investigators’ focus and ask the question that kept them working: why were her nails painted after she was buried?

    Person: Tracy O’Brien
    Date: January 11
    Location: harvested soybean field, Sycamore Line Road, Durnfield, Illinois
    Person: Craig O’Connor
    Event: 47-second phone call on January 9; 27 unexplained miles on same day

    - A utility lineman discovered a palm with vivid orange nail polish protruding from frozen earth at 7:15 AM on January 11.
    - Forensic soil layers showed Tracy’s burial was three inches below a freeze boundary, meaning she was placed before the ground froze.
    - Tracy’s routine was intact: bowling rental shoes left in the locker on January 9 and a seed catalog open on her kitchen table.
    - Neighbor Craig O’Connor reported a cooperative, calm account and voluntarily consented to a search of his truck on January 14.
    - Records showed a 47-second call from Tracy to Craig on January 9 and Craig’s mileage log with 27 miles unaccounted for that evening.

    The GPS ping at 2:14 that started a sixteen‑minute race
    Aug 18 2026
    A semi-truck's GPS pings at 2:14 AM, but its driver has been dead for hours. Investigators race to understand how a dead man's truck could be on the move.

    The GPS ping at 2:14 that started a sixteen‑minute race

    This episode details the investigation into the death of Todd Duncan, a truck driver whose body was found hours after his semi-truck's GPS unit transmitted a location signal. The discovery of the moving truck, despite Duncan's death, leads investigators to question a seemingly perfect alibi.

    Person: Todd Duncan
    Location: Lubbock, Texas
    Time of GPS Ping: 2:14 AM
    Missing Item: $340 in cash

    - Todd Duncan drove the same route every Thursday for three years, making a four-mile detour to visit a friend.

    - Duncan's semi-truck was found parked in the overflow lot, 210 yards from his body, despite no dispatch record of it being moved.
    - Gary Myers, a fuel desk worker, badged into the depot at 1:58 AM with no work order or authorization, 16 minutes before the GPS ping.
