Why Was The Edna Claire Bone-Dry? The Harbor's Cold Secret

A dry hull on a July morning, an empty bait box rinsed clean, and a fuel gauge that refuses to add up - one lobster boat, three contradictory facts. What happened to Monica Peterson between her July 11th log entry and the Edna Claire's return to Slip 14 on July 14th?

In this episode, we lay out the documented details surrounding the Edna Claire and her absent captain, presenting the timeline, the conflicting evidence, and the unanswered question that haunted Crestwick Harbor: how could a vessel report engine trouble eighty-seven nautical miles away and still be tied up with fuel consistent only with a short run?

Person: Monica Peterson
Boat: Edna Claire
Date: July 14, 2011
Location: Slip 14, Crestwick Harbor
Report: Radio contact at 20:17 on July 13 placed the vessel 87 nautical miles northeast

- Monica Peterson was 54 years old and had been working Maine waters since age 26.
- On July 9 she loaded 192 gallons of diesel into the Edna Claire.
- The dock registry showed 171 gallons remaining on July 14, a consumption of 21 gallons.
- The bait box had 400 pounds of salted herring on July 10 but was found completely empty and rinsed on July 14.
- Coast Guard log records a radio call at 20:17 on July 13 reporting engine trouble 87 nautical miles northeast of Crestwick, then signing off after saying the issue was resolved.
