How did one partially erased photo become the hinge in a case of a 22-year-old woman discovered strangled in the desert?<br /><br />In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from the text message Carol Perry sent at 6:03 p.m. to the discovery of her body the next morning, the condition of her car, the phone’s movement data, and the crucial photograph that survived deletion to raise new questions about what happened between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. Who handled the phone, and why was it left on a dumpster lid three days later?<br /><br />Person: Carol Perry<br />Date: October 11-14, 2019<br />Location: Arroyo County / near Crestwood Travel Plaza, Route Nine, Pima Flats<br />Cause of death: Manual strangulation<br />Finder: Dennis Kroft<br /><br />- Carol sent a final text at 6:03 p.m, on October 11 saying “On my way. order me the cherry.”<br />- Carol’s car key fob registered an unlock at 5:51 p.m. and she clocked out at 5:47 p.m.<br />- Her body was found at approximately 10:15 a.m. on October 12, 340 yards north of her car in a dry arroyo.<br />- The phone logged 2,240 steps between 8:15 and 8:47 p.m. the night she disappeared.<br />- The phone had 47 photographs deleted and was found on a dumpster lid at 4:52 a.m, on October 14 by fuel truck driver Dennis Kroft.<br /><br />To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.<br /><br />© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

That single detail, not the body or the confession, cracked the case open: who had a key that shouldn't exist, and why was the coat arranged like a ritual?<br /><br />In this episode, we tell the story of Jennifer Schultz from her routine life on the east shore of Calloway Lake through the sequence of discoveries that led detectives to a homicide. You will hear how the greenhouse coat, a missing key, and the timeline from her last text to her recovery built the central question of the investigation.<br /><br />Person: Jennifer Schultz<br />Age: 38<br />Last contact: Text to brother Kevin on August 23 at 10:14 PM<br />Discovery of coat: September 14 by a man walking his dog on the east shore of Calloway Lake<br />Body recovered: October 2, 22 feet deep, cause of death ligature strangulation<br /><br />- Jennifer had been missing for twenty-two days when the green wool coat was found in the greenhouse on September 14.<br />- Jennifer's last confirmed contact was a text sent at 10:14 PM on August 23 to her brother Kevin.<br />- The dive team recovered her body on October 2 at a depth of twenty-two feet, estimating she had been in the water for five to eight weeks.<br />- The greenhouse showed no signs of forced entry and the padlock had not been broken, indicating the door was opened with a key.<br />- Investigator Marilyn Burke logged the coat as Exhibit Forty-Seven and discovered Jennifer's keyring was missing, narrowing keyholders to a short list that included contractor Ronald Hughes.<br /><br />To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.<br /><br />© 2026 OBOMEDIA.

What did the suitcase mean, and who sent it?<br /><br />In this episode, we follow the timeline from Donna Wright’s last confirmed sighting off a bus to the discovery of her locked car and the offline security camera that left her final forty feet unseen, asking how routine habits and a lone piece of luggage connected to a dead name could point detectives to the answer.<br /><br />Person: Donna Wright<br />Age: 53<br />Last confirmed sighting: 1:18 p.m. at Marvell Junction bus terminal<br />Camera outage: 112 days<br />Checked luggage: red Samsonite checked in Albuquerque<br /><br />- Donna’s car was found Monday morning in the station parking lot with the doors locked, purse in the trunk, and phone inside the purse with a dead battery.<br />- Donna arrived at Marvell Junction at 1:18 p.m, after taking a 10:45 a.m. coach from Las Cruces, confirmed by bus driver Cynthia Thorn.<br />- The red Samsonite suitcase arrived Tuesday at 6:14 a.m. on an Amtrak southbound into Marvell Junction and was checked in Albuquerque the night before under Donna’s name.<br />- A man checked the bag under Donna’s name and “never once turned toward a single camera,” according to footage review.<br />- The south entrance bench camera covering the last forty feet where Donna was seen had been offline for 112 days prior to her disappearance.<br /><br />To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.<br /><br />© 2026 OBOMEDIA.
