A single white nursing clog was found standing heel-down in five centimeters of muddy water outside Garrison Packing at 7:44 a.m. on April 2, 2011 - a shoe with a blood-stained heel and no person attached. What placed it there, and why did the plant clock show Rachel Tucker leaving at 6:02 a.m. when she never returned home?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Rachel’s eleven-year night-shift routine through the morning her time card was swiped and a drag mark led away from the employee entrance before stopping at a sealed seam. We trace the discoveries under the plant floor and in a rented storage unit that stretched this case across seven years of court proceedings and nearly a decade in memory - what really happened to Rachel?
