23 SEP 2026 · The Shoe Bow That Freed Her: How One Detail Unraveled A Murder
An overlooked retied shoe bow - looped twice into a granny knot after death and stored in an evidence bag for eleven years - became the single clue that toppled a wrongful conviction. How did a partial bootprint and a re-knotted pump unspool a case that had put a coworker behind bars for nearly twelve years?
In this episode, we walk through the facts of the Debra Nolan case, from her last confirmed sighting at 8:15 p.m. to the discovery of her body six days later, and the retired public defender who reopened the file in 1997. What did the bootprint, the car left with keys in the ignition, and the retied bow reveal that everyone else missed?
Person: Debra Nolan
Date: September 2-9, 1986
Location: Farwell Creek Road; Quarry Pike
Case: Aggravated murder conviction of Karen Schultz, March 16, 1987
Investigator: Harvey Christensen, reviewed file October 1997
- Debra Nolan was 42 years old in summer 1986 and last seen leaving Patton's Family Restaurant at approximately 8:15 p.m, on September 2.
- Her 1983 Buick Century was found the next morning in her driveway with the driver's door unlocked, keys in the ignition, and $63 in cash in her handbag.
- The time of death was estimated as the evening of September 2 or early hours of September 3, a window of roughly 12 hours; cause: manual strangulation.
- Item 47 in the evidence log described a partial passenger-side bootprint with logger tread, man's work boot size 11 or larger, later marked "ambient contamination, not pursued."
- Karen Schultz, age 38, was convicted March 16, 1987 of aggravated murder and sentenced to life with parole eligibility after 20 years; she served nearly 12 years before the case was revisited.

22 SEP 2026 · The Yellow Cardigan on the Wire That Cracked a Murder Case
A dry pale yellow cardigan looped twice around a live utility wire eight feet off the ground became the single piece of evidence that would untangle a murder, free an innocent man, and send a former utility worker to prison for life - but how did it get there when two days of rain had just passed? Who put a sweater thirty feet from the nearest roofline with no ladder, tree, or fence in sight?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a missing-person report to a body found under a house, the arrest of a suspect with a shaky alibi, and the defense attorney who questioned the gaps in the investigation; could one garment and its dry condition be the clue that proves innocence or guilt?
Person: Sandra Porter
Date: body found August 5, 2014
Location: crawl space beneath Sandra Porter’s home
Case: arrested suspect Dennis Holt on August 19, 2014
Event: cardigan found by lineman Marvin Cook on August 4, 2014
- The cardigan was looped twice around the secondary neutral wire at eight feet high and was dry after two straight days of rain.
- The nearest roofline to the pole where the sweater was found stood thirty feet away with no ladder, tree, or fence nearby.
- Sandra Porter was reported missing on August 3, 2014 after last texting on July 31, 2014 at 7:48 p.m.
- Deputies found Sandra Porter’s body on August 5, 2014 and listed cause of death as strangulation.
- Dennis Holt was arrested and charged with first-degree murder on August 19, 2014 after two threatening calls to Sandra’s home were linked to him. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

21 SEP 2026 · The Shoe That Knew Her Steps: Why One Flat Convicted a Killer
A single dry canvas flat, heel flush against a concrete pylon in the Aldine River, led investigators to a murder conviction-and left an unanswered question that still haunts the case. How did one deliberately placed shoe, found twelve feet into a moving river at 5:53 a.m., undo the prosecution’s certainty and point toward a different story?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a 5:55 a.m. 911 call to the discovery of Pamela Ochoa's body and the evidence that shaped the trial, asking whether that shoe was a clue, a message, or both. Which detail changed everything about who could have been there that night?
Person: Pamela Ochoa
Date: July 9, 2014
Location: Aldine River, Sutter Park
Cause: Strangulation
Status: Conviction of Amy Weaver
- Pamela Ochoa was 31 years old and a licensed practical nurse with four years at Crestwell Regional.
- Neil Vogel found the single woman's canvas flat at 5:53 a.m.; he called 911 at 5:55 a.m.
- The medical examiner placed time of death between 11:00 p.m, on July 8 and 1:00 a.m, on July 9, 2014.
- Amy Weaver was arrested six days after the discovery; she was 24 and four blocks from the park entrance at 10:47 p.m. the night Pamela died.
- The prosecution’s physical evidence included a partial size 7 boot print in the mud and the uniquely ink-stained left canvas flat identified by Pamela’s roommate Diane Cho.

20 SEP 2026 · The Impossible Timestamp That Sent a Man to Prison
A single photograph with a printed timestamp of June 2, 2011 at 11:04 PM became the hinge of a criminal case where precise details refused to add up: a shoe standing upright at 8:06 AM, no footprints on the dew, a padlocked gate from the inside. How could a printed time place someone at a scene after a victim had already been admitted to hospital - and what did that impossible number really prove?
In this episode, we present the facts of the scene, the timeline of prints and calls, and the evidence that drew detectives into a knot of dates and exhibits; we ask whether a timestamp can tell the whole story or whether it can mislead a jury into thinking the answer is simple.
Person: Megan Morris
Date: June 2, 2011
Location: 14 Sycamore Terrace, Calloway, North Carolina
Event: Photograph printed at Calloway Pharmacy on May 22, 2011
Case: Photograph timestamp June 2, 2011 11:04 PM
- A shoe was found standing upright on a metal utility cabinet at 6:08 AM on June 4, 2011.
- The yard gate at 14 Sycamore Terrace was padlocked from the inside on the morning the photograph was found.
- Megan Morris missed her habitual 10:50 PM Wednesday call to her mother Frances for the first time on the night of June 2, 2011.
- A photograph showing Megan at the kitchen sink was printed at a self-service kiosk on May 22, 2011 and later recovered at the scene.
- Detective Lori Fenn noted the hospital logged Megan Morris's admission at 11:18 PM on June 2, 2011, while the photograph's timestamp read 11:04 PM. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

19 SEP 2026 · Green Ledger, Red Ink: How a Notebook Framed an Innocent Man
Shock and distrust: a single green, sodden spiral notebook recovered from a storm drain named Linda Pruitt in red ink and sent a man to prison for seven years - but the same pages also contained handwriting that matched a coworker and a second forensic comparison that was hidden from the defense. Who benefited from the silence, and why was exculpatory evidence never disclosed?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the day Wayne Rice pulled the ledger from the drain to the trial that followed, laying out the physical evidence, the missing disclosures, and the unanswered questions that hinge on that notebook. Could one withheld handwriting comparison have changed a conviction?
Person: Linda Pruitt
Person: Curtis Jenkins
Person: Teresa Myers
Date: May 14 (ledger recovered at 7:40)
Location: Glenfield Road, Prentiss County
- The ledger was wedged in a storm drain grate for twelve days before Wayne Rice pulled it free at 7:40 a.m. on May 14.
- The notebook contained seven names with dollar amounts and “Linda Pruitt” written at the bottom in red ink circled with a star and “$4,000.”
- Linda Pruitt was found strangled in her kitchen; medical examiner placed time of death between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.; cause: ligature strangulation with a nylon cord.
- A state handwriting analyst found the ledger handwriting did not belong to Linda, and a second comparison highly matched Teresa Myers, but that second result was redacted and not provided to the defense.
- The latent fingerprint lifted from the inside back cover was matched by the state lab to Curtis Jenkins, who had been dispatched to assist Linda with a stalled car two days before her death.

18 SEP 2026 · The Shoe in the Oak: Why Michelle Never Reached Her Door
A single gray canvas slip-on, size eight, tied in a neat bow and set upright inside a fallen oak hollow - clean, deliberately placed, and belonging to a woman who never made it through her own unlocked front door. Michelle Olson’s body was found thirty meters from that hollow; the cause was manual strangulation and the time of death matched the night she left her sister’s house. How did a shoe become the only obvious clue in a case that would hinge on one missing interview?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Michelle’s routine Thursday runs to her sister, to the discovery on Briar Creek trail, to the six-week trail of evidence that led to Gregory Underwood and a trial weakened by an unasked question. What did the uncontacted witnesses, the uncommon fiber, and the placement of the shoe actually mean for the investigation?
Person: Michelle Olson
Age: 52
Location: Dellfield, Harbin County
Date: April 9-14, 2009
Person: Gregory Underwood
- A gray canvas slip-on, size eight, left foot, was found upright inside a hollow of a fallen oak on April 14, 2009 at 8:47 a.m.
- Michelle Olson’s body was found thirty meters from where the dog Copper pulled Sharon Phillips off the Briar Creek path.
- Medical examiner concluded cause of death: manual strangulation; estimated time of death: evening of April 9, 2009.
- Eleven strands of an uncommon polyester-wool blend were lifted from the left shoulder of Michelle’s blouse and later found on Gregory Underwood’s doorstep six weeks after the body was recovered.
- Detective Ray Cutter interviewed three of five named alibi witnesses for Underwood; two named witnesses, Curt Beal and Steven Hadley, were never contacted by police, prosecution, or defense.

17 SEP 2026 · The Dry Shoe That Broke a Jury: What It Hid at Dawn
Cold detail turned a murder case into a courtroom stalemate: an orange-pink size eight canvas slip-on pulled from a sycamore branch at 6:17 AM had a dry interior despite a 38°F river that would soak it in under four minutes. How could a shoe travel from the Tillman Road bridge to that branch and remain dry - and why did that impossibility split a jury?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events and the physical evidence that framed the prosecution and defense narratives, focusing on the shoe discovery, the victim’s routine, and the forensic timeline that raised the central question: when and how did Heather Henderson enter the river?
Person: Heather Henderson
Date: March 15 (time of discovery 6:17 AM; phone unplugged 5:49 AM; time of death between 5:30 and 7:00 AM)
Location: Cassell River, sycamore branch ~900 yards downstream from Tillman Road bridge
Status: Body found; cause of death blunt-force trauma to back of skull followed by drowning
Investigator: Leon Pryce
- Shoe type: women's canvas slip-on, orange-pink, size 8, interior described as dry when pulled from the branch at 6:17 AM.
- River temperature: 38 degrees Fahrenheit; canvas shoe interior expected to saturate in under 4 minutes at that temperature.
- Transit time: river travel from Tillman Road bridge to the sycamore branch estimated at less than 9 minutes.
- Phone log: Heather’s phone unplugged from charger at 5:49 AM with no further activity that day.
- Home routine: Heather walked a fixed 40-minute route each morning, leaving around 6:00 AM and usually returning by 6:40 AM after 11 years on Coppermill Lane. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

16 SEP 2026 · Frozen Badge, False Alibi: How a 9-Second Voicemail Framed Her
A single nine-second voicemail and a frozen visitor badge upended a small town and put a 28-year-old nursing student at the center of a murder case for thirteen months; how did a piece of plastic and a voice clip become the prosecution's hinge, and could both have been wrong? Who actually left the voicemail, and why was badge 447 buried in a field on the same road as the murder?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline and the conflicting records that propelled Emily Farrell from hospital visitor to murder suspect, and follow the small discoveries - a visitor log entry, a second impossible badge record, a voice comparison expert - that created the open question at the heart of the case: was the evidence accurate, or misread? Which of these details breaks the prosecution's story?
Person: Emily Farrell
Person: Derek Nolan
Event: voicemail saying "We need to talk tonight" lasting nine seconds
Date: February 3-4, 2018
Location: Mercer Basin Road
- Visitor badge number 447 was issued to Emily Farrell at 10:38 PM on February 3, 2018 and returned at 11:09 PM.
- Emily Farrell was brought in for questioning by police at 10:50 PM and booked at 11:02 PM on February 3, 2018.
- A second visitor log entry lists Emily Farrell at 11:14 PM with badge number 502, a time when she was already booked.
- Derek Nolan’s time of death was placed between 10:00 PM on February 3 and 1:00 AM on February 4, 2018 by Medical Examiner Dr. Peggy Sutton.
- Badge 447 was found frozen under crabgrass at a road benchmark on Mercer Basin Road by county surveyor Sarah Riley fourteen months later. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

15 SEP 2026 · The Upright Shoe: How One Clue Cracked a Perfect Alibi
A single left shoe stood upright on a frozen culvert lip at seven degrees Fahrenheit, snow undisturbed and no body or blood in sight - a detail that would unravel an alibi and reshape a murder trial. How did one dark brown leather flat with a small buckle become the key to a case that took fourteen months and a methodical defense attorney to untangle?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from January 3, 2009 through the discovery that shifted the investigation, laying out the scenes and statements that produced conflicting images and the question that haunted investigators: who moved through the night and left only one shoe behind?
Person: Nora Voss
Date: January 3, 2009
Location: Fenwick Road culvert and Tulliver Transit Center long-term parking (Level two, space forty-one)
Status: Missing (car found January 5; shoe found January 9)
Case: Single left shoe found upright on undisturbed snow
- Nora Voss was 44 years old and an office manager at Halloway and Briggs for eleven years.
- Nora’s silver four-door was found January 5 in long-term parking, Level two, space forty-one, with her purse in the trunk and one shoe on the passenger seat floor.
- A neighbor saw Nora get into a dark-colored sedan around 6:15 p.m. on January 3 but could not identify the driver.
- The upright left shoe was discovered by Amy Morgan at 7:51 a.m. on January 9 on a culvert lip in seven-degree Fahrenheit temperatures with snow undisturbed.
- William Duncan’s dark blue sedan was recorded eastbound on State Route Seven at 6:40 p.m. the night Nora disappeared. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

14 SEP 2026 · The Fence That Cracked an Alibi: Why Patricia Returned at 8:51
A single keycard timestamp - 8:51 PM on December 8, 2004 - undid an alibi, exposed a jailhouse informant, and pointed investigators toward a second buried victim in another county; what broke was not a fingerprint but a fence, and that fence’s exact moment of failure became the case’s hinge. How did a folded chain-link, an inverted yellow dish glove, and a truck on Millward Road tie Patricia Voss back into Aldermoor that night?
In this episode, we walk through the timeline and the physical clues found by the birdwatcher who discovered Patricia and the detectives who followed the evidence, asking how a maintenance log and a timestamped truck image reshaped the investigation and led one detective to drive alone on a hunch. What did that fence really mean, and why did Patricia turn back at 8:51?
Person: Patricia Voss
Date: December 8, 2004
Location: Sullen Creek / Aldermoor cold-storage facility
Time of death range: between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM on December 8, 2004
Item found on body: single yellow rubber dish glove (inverted, dry, on right hand)
- Patricia Voss badged back into Aldermoor at 8:51 PM, thirteen minutes after leaving ceramics at approximately 8:38 PM.
- Dennis Voss called the sheriff's line at 11:17 PM on December 8 to report his wife missing.
- Carl Owens, birding Sullen Creek for eleven years, stood four minutes before calling after finding the body with a folded chain-link fence and a feet-first drag furrow.
- Dr. Louise Taft recorded cause of death as blunt-force trauma to the base of the skull from two strikes.
- Donald Armstrong’s truck appeared on the Millward Road camera at 9:04 PM, despite his timecard showing he clocked out at 7:45 PM. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.
