7 SEP 2026 · The Upright Shoe: Why Move a Body and Leave a Marker?
A single brown oxford stood upright in white caliche dust, toe pointing north and spotless while a body lay dragged nearby - why would someone carry a dead man's shoe thirty feet and plant it like a marker? The shoe linked a routine walking route to a mystery that would rewind three decades of files and a confession, leaving one stubborn question: who returned to place that shoe?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries, the routine that anchored the victim's last movements, and the forensic details that split the timeline between the clean shoe and the thirty-one-hour-old body. What did the gap in the cinder-block wall and the overturned Honda reveal about who moved Becker and why?
Person: Ryan Becker
Date: August 2022
Location: Kessler Flats easement, Harmon County, New Mexico
Status: Deceased; time of death estimated between 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM
Event: Single brown oxford found standing upright thirty feet north of gap in cinder-block wall
- The shoe was a single brown oxford, clean and without caliche dust, toe pointing north.
- Lisa Bauer walked the corridor on the fourth Tuesday of every month for eleven years and found the shoe.
- Ryan Becker was 49 years old and had worked as a land-rights attorney for nineteen years.
- Becker's body was discovered approximately thirty-one hours after the estimated time of death.
- Becker's white Honda Civic was found on a gravel turnout about a quarter mile north of Kessler Flats, facing south with a three-inch-cracked driver's-side window. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

6 SEP 2026 · Left at Dawn: The Ransom Note, The Juice Box, The Missing $42k
A six-year-old in a white nightgown was left inside a church fellowship hall at 6:30 a.m. with an unopened juice box, $340 in mixed bills, and a folded blanket - and the kidnapper demanded $42,000 in non-sequential bills by phone the next morning. Who watched the mother's 7 a.m. walk, took the money at a midnight drop with no tire tracks or footprints, and then returned the child with that strange mix of care and cruelty?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Amanda Nelson's disappearance on July 8, 1991, through the ransom call, the midnight drop that yielded no trace of the cash, and the decades-long cold case that finally yielded a partial fingerprint match. How did three ridge segments lifted from a window sill become the thread that reopened a 28-year-old file?
Person: Amanda Nelson
Date: July 8-19, 1991
Location: Morrow Falls, Oregon
Case: ransom demand for $42,000; child returned
Evidence: right index partial fingerprint - three ridge segments
- Amanda was six years and ten months old when she disappeared on July 8, 1991.
- The ransom call requesting $42,000 was received from a payphone on July 9, 1991, from Halsey Creek, 11 miles from Morrow Falls.
- A bag containing the $42,000 was placed at the agreed drop at 11:40 p.m. on July 10, 1991, and was gone when investigators arrived; no vehicle, tire tracks, or footprints were seen.
- The child was found by Thomas Harris at 6:30 a.m. on July 19, 1991, inside Calvary Lutheran's fellowship hall with $340 in mixed bills, a folded wool blanket, and an unopened juice box.
- A partial fingerprint (right index, three ridge segments) taken from the fellowship hall window sill matched Carl Olson when resubmitted to the 2018 NGI database. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

5 SEP 2026 · The Boot That Stood: How a Dog Found a Man Buried Ten Years
A work boot standing upright in soft earth hid a human foot still articulated at the ankle - ten feet beyond, a body lay buried for ten years and five days. Biscuit the retriever pulled Donna Chu off a Kellerton trail on June 14, 2022, and what he found would unlock handwritten notes, a county database entry, and a missing-person file that had gone cold; who buried Ryan Gallagher so hurriedly and why is still unanswered?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries from the morning Biscuit led Donna into the tree line to the paper files in a county cabinet, tracing what was found at the Sutter Road farmhouse, the prior burglary notes, and the nearby co-worker connection that none had seen together; could those three separate records be the key to what really happened?
Person: Ryan Gallagher
Date: June 14, 2022
Location: Curtis Baker Trail, Kellerton, Pate County, Missouri
Status: Found buried after ten years and five days
Person: Donna Chu

4 SEP 2026 · The Pawn Ticket That Finally Broke a Twenty-Year Silence
A yellow pawn ticket, dry despite the body beneath it being in the river for forty-eight hours, sat in an evidence box for twenty years while a killer kept living an ordinary life. The ticket named a person and an address and matched a pawned Craftsman socket set-so why was that lead never followed until two decades later?
In this episode, we tell the story of Cheryl Collins, the Wednesday-morning ritual she kept, the missing pawn ticket found on her chest, and the overlooked clues that waited in a small mill town for answers. How did a receipt from a pawn shop forty-seven miles away finally connect to her death?
Person: Cheryl Collins
Date: May 7, 2003
Location: Winding Fork Road, Harwick
Event: Pawn ticket for a nineteen-piece Craftsman quarter-inch socket set dated April 29, 2003
Discovery: Body found face-up in the Sable River forty-eight hours after death
- Cheryl Collins was 44 years old at the time of her death.
- Her body was recovered by Karen Whitaker from the Sable River and was forty-eight hours postmortem.
- The pawn ticket matched a transaction at Vance's Trade and Loan in Elkin Falls on April 29, 2003.

3 SEP 2026 · The Judge, the Paperweight, and the Lawyer Who Wouldn't Let Go
A young judge found dead at the base of courthouse stairs, a glass paperweight from a locked room balanced in his lap, and a single yellow legal pad whose torn impression would sit unread for twenty-two years-what happened at 1:00 AM on April 14, 2001, and who ensured he never walked back from his mistake? This episode reveals the unsettling details that turned a private compromise into a fatal secret and left a case sealed in cold storage until a graduate student reopened it.
In this episode, we narrate the concrete sequence of events, the documents recovered, and the investigative thread that lay dormant for decades, showing how a forgotten service door and an overlooked page reshaped the inquiry-can the impressions on a scrap of paper rewrite the story of a judge’s last hours?
Person: Keith Owens
Date: April 14, 2001
Location: Halverson Municipal Complex north exterior, base of fire stairs
Age: 28
Object: glass paperweight from a locked room
- The body was discovered at 7:40 AM by county surveyor Todd McCarthy.

2 SEP 2026 · The Purse on the Lawn: Why Judith Vanished with $11,400
A tan leather handbag sat dry on a lawn after two days of rain while the payroll case with $11,400 went missing and Judith Underwood's body was found in a culvert six days later; who was the man captured walking away in the only photo taken that morning? The purse contained only a compact mirror, lipstick, a house key and $43, but no identification - and the case of the missing payroll stayed unsolved for decades.
In this episode, we lay out the timeline of Judith Underwood's last recorded moments, the discovery of her body and the strange condition of the purse found on her property, and ask whether the lone figure in the March 22, 1971 photograph holds the key to what happened.
Person: Judith Underwood
Date: March 12-18, 1971
Location: Fenwick Mill Road; Birch Hollow Road; Harlan Township

1 SEP 2026 · The Apothecary Jar: How a Stream Revealed a 1991 Poisoning Secret
A rusted apothecary jar washed up from Millstone Creek carried a torn, symbol-covered page that had been sealed for nearly 28 years - and inside that jar was the thread that tied a 1991 death to a pharmacist's hidden ledger. Who put the jar in the water, and why did a confession remain sealed until a birdwatcher found it in 2019?
In this episode, we follow the path from a February morning discovery to a small town death in March 1991, tracing the connections between a young bride-to-be, a trusted apothecary, and records that quietly recorded purchases of a lethal compound. Could a family pharmacy ledger and a supplier's invoices finally explain a misdiagnosed death?
Person: Debra Rice
Person: Kathleen Smith
Person: Harold Moore
Person: Jenna Moore
Event: Jar found on Millstone Creek in February 2019
- The jar was photographed 17 times by Debra Rice before she took it to the Harlan County Sheriff's Office.
- Kathleen Smith died on March 14, 1991, with a death certificate listing Guillain-Barré syndrome.
- Harold Moore purchased thallium sulfate twice from a Cumberland agricultural supplier: once in winter 1990 and again in fall 1991.

- Jenna Moore, age 26, found a cloth-bound ledger behind a false panel in a dispensing cabinet in 2017 and photographed it before leaving it in a box. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

31 AUG 2026 · The Shoe on the Ice: How Silence Hid a Killer for 31 Years
A single burgundy pump sat heel-up on frozen water forty feet from shore while no tracks and no body gave any answer for months - a single shoe became the first and last clue for thirty years. How did a size seven pump and a missing person file marked open, inactive, and later homicide hide the truth until one witness waited three decades to speak?
In this episode, we tell the events from Paula Turner’s disappearance through the discovery of her body and the details that kept the case cold, ending with the question that finally reopened it: what did one thirteen-year-old know that she could not say for thirty-one years?
Person: Paula Turner
Date: January 9, 1989
Location: Harwick retention pond
Status: Body found April 1989; cause of death strangulation
Person: Debra (witness who waited 31 years)
- Paula Turner was 38 years old when she disappeared on the morning of January 9, 1989.

30 AUG 2026 · The Diplomatic Folio and the Freight Man Who Vanished into Dust
A black diplomatic passport folio dated December 1979 turned up half-buried on a frozen road shoulder the same week a reliable sixty-two-year-old freight forwarder vanished with his coffee still brewing-how did a decades-old diplomatic artifact and a missing man end up linked by a single outgoing phone call? Which detail frozen in the desert would finally unlock four years of silence?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the folio discovery on December 11, 2019 to the reopening of the case in 2023, outlining the investigative leads, the gaps in the original inquiry, and the three overlooked connections that reignited the search. How did a phone record, a limited liability company, and a broken garage door point to an answer no one expected?
Person: Charles Allen
Date: December 6-11, 2019
Location: Mesas Blancas / Dry Gulch Road
Status: Missing person; case reopened in 2023
Person: Roger Long
- The diplomatic folio was found on December 11, 2019, gilt-stamped with the Republic of Cortaverde and embossed December 1979.

- Deputy Frank Tully reviewed 18 months of customs documentation and interviewed three clients before shelving the file in February 2020.
- Analyst Roger Long, age 51, reviewed the case in April 2023 and discovered three unconnected items that linked together.
- On the night of December 5, 2019, at 9:47 p.m., Allen’s cell made an outgoing 11-minute call to Crestline Property Holdings, LLC, a single-member LLC owned by Pamela Hansen.

29 AUG 2026 · Fingerprint on a Jar Lid: How a Snow Globe Witnessed Murder
A fragile snow globe survived a house fire that incinerated the back half of 408 Dellwood Avenue, its cloudy water and perfect dusting of artificial snow a single, eerie relic amid ash - and a fingerprint on a jar lid later became the thread that would not let the case go cold. What did a stopped truck with no lights, a melted can of mineral spirits, and a fingerprint inside a jar lid really add up to?
In this episode, we tell the story contained in the case file and the memories that followed: the life and routine of Angela Gardner, the original fire marshal report, the closed investigation, and the small details that stayed with detective Tom Bauer for decades. How did those overlooked facts - a time window, a delivery driver's log entry, and a single latent print - change everything?
Person: Angela Gardner
Date: November 12, 1991
Location: 408 Dellwood Avenue
Investigator: Tom Bauer
Item: tin of Belden's mineral spirits (lid partially melted)
- Angela Gardner was 26 years old and had lived at 408 Dellwood Avenue for 14 months when she died.

- Curtis Webb noted a dark truck with engine running and no lights on Route Nine at 5:50 AM on November 12, 1991.
- Detective Tom Bauer closed the case in January 1992, kept the original case file when he retired in 2009, and returned it to the department at age 75. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.
