  • A Glove Points at the Door: The Murder of Noreen Haskell

    A Glove Points at the Door: The Murder of Noreen Haskell
    6 Oct 2026
    A Glove Points at the Door: The Murder of Noreen Haskell

    A single men's leather work glove cuff-down, fingers pointing at the front door-found at 5:52 a.m. on December 11, 2009-became the crucible of a murder trial. The glove sat atop a half-pint canning jar with partially frozen dark red liquid; who placed it there and why would decide a jury's verdict. What did that deliberate arrangement reveal about the killer and the hours between 9 p.m. and dawn?

    In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the household clues, and the witness statements that shaped the case and the trial. You will hear how a paid caller, a broken hasp, and a volunteered confession converged-so what did those precise details prove?

    Person: Noreen Haskell
    Date: December 11, 2009
    Location: 4 Galloway Road
    Person: Robert Mitchell
    Person: Curtis Cooper

    - The glove was found cuff-down with fingers pointing toward the front door at 5:52 a.m.
    - The jar beneath the glove was a half-pint canning jar containing partially frozen dark red liquid.
    - Time of death was estimated between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. the previous evening.
    - The back storm door had a broken hasp latch and a ceramic pot was used to prop it shut; the pot was found overturned in the mudroom.
    - Curtis Cooper walked into the sheriff’s office on December 22, 2009, and reported three non-public details: the overturned ceramic pot, a canning jar with dark contents on the counter, and a glove on the porch.

  • Buried Amendment, Burned Barn: The Paper That Proved Arson

    Buried Amendment, Burned Barn: The Paper That Proved Arson
    4 Oct 2026
    Buried Amendment, Burned Barn: The Paper That Proved Arson

    The smell of charred wood led a county grader to a padlocked aluminum box frozen in a ditch - inside was a single insurance declaration page with a handwritten margin note dated three days before the fire. That paper, forensically linked to an insurance employee, and a mailbox with no delivery confirmation became the thin, combustible thread between an insured barn reduced to ashes and a disputed $412,000 claim - who altered the coverage and why?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries from the burned ceramics barn to the legal files and the evidence that shifted the case from an insurance dispute to a possible deliberate suppression of coverage. Follow how a handwriting match, timestamps, and a motel receipt raise the question at the heart of the story: was the policy amended before the fire to limit payout, and who benefits from that timing?

    Person: Cheryl Slater
    Date: November 5, 2011
    Location: 4418 Felton Mill Road, Osker Township
    Claim Amount: $412,000
    Case: Harlan County Circuit Court docket 2012-CV-0049

    - The padlocked aluminum box was found nine days after the fire, buried in a ditch culvert with frozen mud packed around it.
    - The handwritten margin note on the declaration page was dated November 2, 2011, three days before the November 5 barn fire.
    - Gas chromatography identified charcoal lighter fluid as the accelerant applied at four-to-six-foot intervals along the rear property line.
    - Cheryl checked into a motel in Dunning at 6:52 PM on November 5, 2011, forty-three miles from her property; the receipt and clerk confirmed her presence.
    - Meridian Heartland’s filed clause with the state in January 2011 showed full barn contents coverage (~$230,000), while an internal amendment allegedly reduced it to $50,000 with an internal log timestamp of November 2, 2011.

  • The Mug on the Gravel: How a Coffee Cup Proved a Murder

    The Mug on the Gravel: How a Coffee Cup Proved a Murder
    1 Oct 2026
    The Mug on the Gravel: How a Coffee Cup Proved a Murder

    A single ceramic mug, half-full of cold coffee, sat upright in the gravel eighteen feet from a utility pole and forty feet from a house where a sixty-two-year-old woman lay dead. That misplaced cup, photographed by a lineman and later examined by a forensic paralegal, became the pivot that transformed a presumed cardiac death into a homicide-how did a coffee mug connect to digoxin levels over three times the therapeutic ceiling?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from discovery to indictment: the initial scene, the toxicology that changed the cause of death, the phone records and witnesses, and the moment Lloyd Andrews recognized what the step-pegs and the mug meant for the case. How did those details rewrite the investigation into Diane Jones's death?

    Person: Diane Jones
    Date: September 30, 2014
    Location: 4417 Sycamore Terrace, Bitterwood, Tennessee
    Toxicology result: Digoxin 4.1 ng/mL
    Suspect call origin: Duane Anderson, September 30, 2014, 11-minute call

    - Diane Jones was 62 years old and lived alone at 4417 Sycamore Terrace.
    - Death discovered October 9, 2014 after daughter Sandra Mercer’s unanswered calls beginning October 8.
    - Diane had been prescribed flecainide for atrial fibrillation for six years and had never been prescribed digoxin.
    - Toxicology showed digoxin at 4.1 ng/mL, over three times the upper therapeutic boundary of 1.5 ng/mL.
    - An 11-minute call to Diane’s number originated from Duane Anderson on September 30, 2014.
