  • The Glove Behind the Scale: How Two Pounds Vanished Inside Carvell

    The Glove Behind the Scale: How Two Pounds Vanished Inside Carvell

    The Glove Behind the Scale: How Two Pounds Vanished Inside Carvell

    A single folded latex glove tucked behind a locked meter cabinet set off a two-year probe into how a refinery’s scale began reading about 3.8% low-enough to erase two and a half pounds of gold on paper while the metal stayed in plain sight. Who had brought the glove, why was it folded and placed inside equipment, and how did routine recertifications miss a systematic shortfall?

    In this episode, we follow the discovery at Carvell Metals, the personnel connected to the scales and certifications, and the chain of small details that turned into a major discrepancy-asking whether human habit and administrative gaps can hide deliberate weight manipulation.

    Person: Mike Trent
    Person: Leon Olson
    Person: Paul Zimmerman
    Location: Carvell Metals, Hendrick Falls, Nebraska
    Event: Scale recertified four times in eighteen months

    - The floor scale read approximately 3.8% below true weight for between 12 and 20 months.
    - Mike Trent had worked at Carvell for seven years and entered post-processing weights into the logging system.
    - The found glove was latex, powder-free, size small, folded and bagged by Susan Vickers.
    - Tri-State Measurement Services invoiced two of the four recertifications, with Leon Olson listed as technician.
    - Paul Zimmerman received the property bag on a Tuesday and noted the plant policy required nitrile gloves.

  • They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind

    They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind

    They Moved a Million Dollars of Furs - Then Left Them Behind

    Nearly a million dollars in fur coats were moved forty feet inside a climate-controlled vault and left in perfect order - with no alarm, no forced entry, and an authorized keypad code used at 11:59 p.m. What could explain a deliberate, meticulous relocation of 41 cedar-lined coats that ended with nothing stolen?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events at Harcastle Cold Storage on September 9, 2014, trace the discovery and investigation, and track the paper trail that began with a serial number on a commercial garment rack - but why would whoever entered use a valid code, move the coats, then walk away?

    Date: September 9, 2014
    Location: Harcastle Cold Storage, Merritt, Indiana
    Person: Stanley Long
    Investigator: Megan Simpson
    Value: $940,000

    - 41 fur coats were found sealed in individual cedar-lined polyethylene bags on a single wheeled rack.
    - The combined insured value of the coats was $940,000.
    - The vault keypad logged two valid entries in 24 hours: 4:47 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.
    - The rack bore a serial number that traced to a cash purchase delivered to Colton Meridian LLC.
    - Colton Meridian LLC had been registered in Indiana 18 months earlier and had no employees, revenue, or clients on record.

  • The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy

    The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy
    Jul 30 2026
    The Bourbon Barrel on the Trail That Unraveled a Warehouse Conspiracy

    Fear of a quiet, precise theft - a long game that turned paperwork into a weapon - leads a dog walk and a single stamped barrel to a federal investigation; how did a sealed cask marked BW-4417-C end up leaning against Harwick Bonded Storage’s rear fence and what hidden entries in the manifest made it possible?

    In this episode, you’ll hear how a routine inventory check and a photograph taken by a passerby started a chain of events that exposed altered federal records and a missing barrel; could the missing tax liability have been invisible on purpose?

    Person: Sandra Pruitt
    Person: Peggy Berry
    Person: Lloyd Davis
    Date: August 11, 2019
    Case: Lot BW-4417

    - Sandra Pruitt found a bourbon cask leaning against the rear fence of Harwick Bonded Storage on a Sunday morning in August 2019.
    - The cask bore the stencil number BW-4417-C which Sandra photographed and reported to the sheriff’s non-emergency line.
    - Dunmore Creek Distillery had sent forty-eight casks of eight-year bourbon to Harwick in March 2019 under lot number BW-4417.
    - Peggy Berry, a twenty-eight-year-old TTB investigator, pulled Harwick’s full inventory and found forty-seven physical casks though the manifest listed forty-eight, with twenty-two entries marked “empty, condemned.”
    - Lloyd Davis’s initials appeared on the handwriting attached to the condemned entries and on a weight receipt filed the same week recording a shipment departure.
