  • The Bottle That Exposed a Trusted Man's Secret Poisoning Scheme

    The Bottle That Exposed a Trusted Man's Secret Poisoning Scheme
    4 Oct 2026
    The Bottle That Exposed a Trusted Man's Secret Poisoning Scheme

    Cold river water revealed a sealed amber pharmacy bottle tied to a trotline-knotted with orange paracord and hanging eighteen inches below the Calloway River surface in eleven-degree air. Inside was a handwritten document linking a closed pharmacy to a man whose 1993 death had been ruled natural; who had placed the bottle, and why was it left on a stranger’s anchor?

    In this episode, we follow the chain of evidence from a bottle pulled by a fifty-three-year-old trotline operator to the small-town records and memories that reframe a decades-old death, asking whether a trusted county official’s symptoms and sudden decline were actually poison.

    Person: Amy Anderson
    Date: February 4, 2019 at 6:20 AM
    Location: Calloway River, anchor five
    Person: John Wright
    Date: February 18, 1993

    - The bottle was hanging eighteen inches below the river surface and tied with orange paracord.
    - Amy Anderson was fifty-three and had fished the same six trotlines for twelve years.
    - The amber pharmacy bottle sat on the Harker County Sheriff’s property shelf for eleven days before being connected to the case.
    - Kessler's Compounding and Apothecary had operated on Merchant Street from 1974 until it closed fifteen years before 2019.
    - John Wright died at age sixty-two and had been county tax assessor for twenty-eight years.

  • The Frozen Hand, the Warm Barrette, and a 28-Year Secret

    The Frozen Hand, the Warm Barrette, and a 28-Year Secret
    3 Oct 2026
    The Frozen Hand, the Warm Barrette, and a 28-Year Secret

    Cold and intimate: a frozen left hand lay under collapsed vapor barrier for eleven days while the pale yellow plastic butterfly barrette in its open palm showed no frost and stayed warm enough to leave no ice crystals. That barrette was sealed in an envelope for twenty-eight years with a detective's question mark-why was it unfrozen-and that mystery only unraveled after a woman walked into a sheriff’s office in 2017 with what she had never told anyone. What secret did a warm barrette keep that a frozen hand could not speak?

    In this episode, we follow the original 1989 investigation and the 2017 cold-case review to trace what the files, the evidence envelope, and handwritten notes reveal. You’ll hear how missing mapping, a marginal forensic comment, and a single unexplained object reframed a homicide file and led investigators to ask: who moved through the Whitmore grain building before Bruce Evans did?

    Person: Bruce Evans
    Date: January 14, 1989 (body found); January 11, 1989 (last notebook entry)
    Location: deactivated Whitmore grain storage building, Dellard, Missouri
    Case: Homicide opened January 14, 1989; reviewed by cold case unit January 2017
    Investigator: Detective Ray Moffitt (original); Sandra Hensley (cold case review)

    - The left hand had been frozen for eleven days when recovered on January 14, 1989.
    - The pale yellow butterfly barrette rested perfectly centered in the open palm and showed no ice crystals or frost.
    - Bruce Evans was 26 years old, worked morning shifts starting at 5:15 a.m., and lived within two miles of the grain cooperative.
    - The last entry in Evans’s green spiral notebook was dated January 11, 1989 with a bowling score of 164.
    - Forensic note by Al Ferris recorded two disturbance tracks: one from north hatch toward body and a fainter one indicating movement of the body toward the south wall.

  • Watch Stopped at 8:11: The Hidden Well That Buried Susan

    Watch Stopped at 8:11: The Hidden Well That Buried Susan
    2 Oct 2026
    Watch Stopped at 8:11: The Hidden Well That Buried Susan

    A woman's wristwatch, stopped at 8:11 and sealed inside a concrete well casing, sat unnoticed for eighteen years-buried in plain sight on a rural property where the lights were left on and a pot boiled dry. How did a $420 check, a contractor invoice for "casing collar repair and reseal," and a single name in a file fail to connect to a disappearance that began in the middle of an ordinary evening?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events and the overlooked records that link a vanished woman, a well repair, and the routine decisions that let a solvable case stagnate. Could the invoice and the check have told investigators what they missed, and why did one sergeant write "Contractor - no apparent relevance"?

    Person: Susan Mueller
    Date: December 6, 2001 (last confirmed sighting)
    Location: 4410 Route Nine, Hidalgo County, New Mexico
    Event: Wristwatch found inside concrete wellhead casing on December 14, 2019
    Case: Cold for eighteen years

    - A wristwatch with a dark brown leather band and intact crystal was retrieved from the bottom of the well collar gap.
    - The watch was stopped at 8:11 when found by well technician Kevin Green at 7:40 AM on December 14, 2019.
    - Susan Mueller left her sister's home around 8:50 PM on December 6, 2001; that was the last confirmed sighting.
    - A $420 check made out to Vickers Well & Pump and an invoice for "casing collar repair and reseal" dated November 2001 were in Susan's household files.
    - Hidalgo County Sheriff's Sergeant Roy Acosta noted "Contractor - no apparent relevance" about the contractor record in the original investigation.
