A Dead Radio Called for Help: The Cassidy Rose Rescue

Fear that someone was still out on a storm-torn coast pushed a retired keeper back into a lighthouse she no longer held the keys to, and a sealed, unfired Coast Guard flare was later found nailed to a padlocked shed wall - six days after one of Pelican Reach’s worst storms. The official log shows a distress call at 23:17 on September 8, 2017 that should not have been possible given the radios on board; who made that call, and how did the Coast Guard find the Cassidy Rose?

In this episode, the story follows the sequence of the storm, the disabled radios aboard the Cassidy Rose, the unexpected rescue, and the discovery that reopened questions months later. How did a decommissioned lighthouse, a former keeper with a key, and an audited Coast Guard record converge to explain who called for help?
