The Garmin's signal kept broadcasting, unraveling everything
This episode explores the case of April Stewart, an emergency dispatcher whose meticulous habits and a single miscalculation by her killer led to an unexpected discovery. It delves into how a buried GPS device became central to a murder investigation.
Person: April Stewart
Location: Fallon, Nevada
Device: Garmin GPS tracker
Status: Missing person investigation
Event: Murder
- April Stewart, a 61-year-old emergency dispatcher for Lander County, wore a Garmin GPS tracker daily as a precaution.

22 SEP 2026 · A single sneaker in a harvested field ties a missing green ledger to a woman's disappearance. How did that shoe expose them?
The upright sneaker that led deputies to a missing ledger
In this episode, we follow the discovery that shifted a routine missing-persons check into a long, tangled investigation. From a shoe standing alone in Field Seven to a missing green accounting ledger and a combine that supposedly broke down, what decisions and details pulled the threads together?
Person: Angela Zeller
Person: Laura Sirek
Person: Carl Erickson
Location: Field Seven, Kearney County
Event: Missing green accounting ledger
- Angela Zeller, 16, found one shoe upright and laced in harvested dirt at six-ten during her paper route.

- Erickson reported the combine had hydraulic problems and Field Seven was not harvested on schedule.
- Deputies found no footprints to or from the shoe and treated the item as evidence rather than a discarded object.
- A farm technician named Gunderson had serviced Erickson’s combine that season and his involvement recorded equipment work. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

22 SEP 2026 · A muddy logging trail, a body, and boot prints pressed into sediment that show someone walked away before the flood - so what really happened?
The boot prints that proved she walked before the flood
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries from the logging trail where Lori was found and the records that intersect around her last days. Follow the timeline of calls, schedules, motel records, missing gear and the soil core that raises one central question: who walked away before the water came?
Person: Lori
Date: body found at 5:47 AM on a Friday in June
Location: switchback five, logging trail
Person: Rhonda Cox (found the body)
Event: forensic soil core taken June 17 showing prints under flood silt

- Lori worked for Prentice Timber for twenty-two years, left the office after a 22-minute desk phone call to her daughter at 8:45 PM the night before.
- Supervisor Pruitt moved Lori’s billing deadline from Wednesday to Thursday; that schedule update reached Lawson, who checked into a motel 1.4 miles from the trail at 10:30 PM and checked out at 6:12 AM.
- The equipment locker at Prentice Timber had no sign-out log and a pair of Lori’s boots was recorded missing as of June 15.
- A forensic geologist drove a core into the mud at switchback five on June 17 and found boot prints pressed beneath flood silt deposited by the irrigation lateral burst on June 11.

22 SEP 2026 · A laminated schedule left on a church table days before she vanished - sealed in unknown handwriting. How could someone know the camera was dark?
A laminated schedule appeared on a church table days before she vanished
In this episode, we follow the small, everyday traces that lead from a missed rabbit feeding to a puzzle of access, paperwork, and timing. How did a routine contractor’s visit, an offline surveillance camera, and a laminated schedule converge on the night she disappeared?
Person: Marcia
Event: Missed morning feeding for rabbit named Biscuit on July 9
Location: Church vestibule with offline rear-door camera
Date: Contractor Patterson on site June 24; cell tower ping near church at 8:47 PM July 9
Status: Church camera outage logged after lightning strike; repair deferred to August
- Marcia laminated and logged daily routines, including a printed feeding schedule for Biscuit photographed by family as evidence of habit.
- Biscuit’s bowl was full the evening of July 9, prompting her sister Kelsey-who had a spare key-to call repeatedly when Marcia didn’t return.
- A church surveillance camera covering the south service entrance went offline after a lightning strike; repair was scheduled six weeks later in the August budget cycle.
- HVAC contractor Patterson signed in and walked the south corridor on June 24, documented by an invoice and service log, and would have seen the dark camera housing and vestibule.
- At 8:47 PM on July 9, Patterson’s phone registered a cell-tower ping near the church’s service entrance despite no work order, invoice, or sign-in to place him there that night.

21 SEP 2026 · A woman's body is found in a hollow, a cabin key missing. How is that possible?
Every boot print pointed out - not one faced inward
In this episode, we follow the Harwick County case of Connie Wells from the missing Wednesday call to the discovery in a red-clay hollow, tracking how investigators mapped two very different paths into the scene and why those paths mattered. What choices and small details made the hollow record the one story it would-and refuse to tell the other?
Person: Connie Wells
Location: Timberline Loop hollow, Harwick County, Oregon
Date: June 14 (body found); June 11 (missed call); June 10 11:48 PM (vehicle on camera)
Person: Detective Vicki Brooks
Object: fragment of iron-red clay on a left boot heel
- The hollow's clay preserved boot impressions with near-perfect detail; every print faced outward toward the ridge.
- A deer trail up the hollow's rear offered an alternate entrance where pine duff would not hold prints.
- Connie lived alone in a cedar cabin on Spur Road Seven and never missed her Wednesday 6:15 AM call to her mother.
- A contractor, Eugene Jones, had been given a key after October repairs and denied recent visits-yet his truck appeared on a property camera at 11:48 PM on June 10.
- Forensic tech Tom Adler and Detective Brooks used the clay's fidelity and the trail-camera timestamps to link scene evidence to movements in the hours before Connie disappeared.

21 SEP 2026 · A coastal town's quiet rhythm is broken when a woman vanishes, leaving behind only a pair of glasses and a mystery that unravels a life.
A ninety-day variance opened a door and unraveled a life

21 SEP 2026 · A long-haul trucker disappears after a midnight fuel stop and his Kenworth idles for sixty-one hours in a Mojave wash-how did that expose them?
The Kenworth's Idling Engine Logged His Last Route
In this episode, we lay out the scene and the sequence that led investigators to an impossible gap between a fuel-stop timestamp, a frozen cellphone signal, and a blue Kenworth found running in the desert. What decisions, movements, and small mismatches pushed the case toward the fuel-yard camera?
Person: James Porter
Location: Ridgecrest, California; Mojave wash
Date: Tuesday night (fuel receipt 11:42 PM), phone stopped 11:59 PM

21 SEP 2026 · A meter reader finds a tan leather glove in a soybean field, forcing a town to confront a two-and-a-half-hour gap-what happened?
The glove's initials contradicted Whitfield's alibi
In this episode, we follow how a routine meter call turned into an investigation centered on a single glove and a narrow unexplained window of time. The episode traces the discoveries at the Whitfield farm and asks how a hand in a glove, a sealed hinge, and an invoice could reshape what people believed about one man’s movements.
Person: Jerry Whitfield
Date: May 6-7
Location: Whitfield farm, outside Dunnett, Cale County, Indiana
Witnesses: Bowling alley patrons who saw Jerry from 7:00 to 10:12 p.m.
Contractor: Bruce Wagner - service logged at 4:30 p.m. on May 6
- Philip Henderson detoured to the Whitfield property at 6:40 a.m. on May 7 and found a tan leather glove with initials J.W.
- The glove’s initials matched Jerry Whitfield’s known custom bowling glove and were recognized by local routine, not a database.
- Bruce Wagner’s invoice logs a 2.5-hour service call to the Whitfield pump house at 4:30 p.m. on May 6 that Jerry did not disclose.
- Detective Holly Bishop found the pump house hinge sealed from the inside and a secondary vent unlatched, indicating an inside exit was used.
- Jerry’s truck was left overnight in the Dunnett Lanes parking lot with keys in the ignition after he was seen leaving the alley alone. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

20 SEP 2026 · A gardening glove found six feet above a creek's waterline points to a missing woman, but its impossible placement challenges every assumption.
A gardening glove hung six feet above the creek waterline
This episode explores the disappearance of Janet Hoffman, a woman whose predictable life in rural Nebraska is upended when a single, inexplicable clue emerges. What could explain a gardening glove found in such an impossible location?
Person: Janet Hoffman
Location: Bitter Creek, Harlan County, Nebraska
Date: May 7, 2019
Object: Gardening glove
- Janet Hoffman, a 54-year-old widow and competitive gardener, lived in the same house in Alma, Nebraska, for 22 years.
- Her son, Tom, reported her missing after finding her bowling bag, which she always carried on Tuesdays, still by her front door.
- A fisherman, Frances Fleming, discovered Janet's gardening glove snagged on a willow branch six feet above the waterline of Bitter Creek.
- Sheriff Eric Whitaker noted that the creek had not flooded, and there was no evidence of a surge that could have placed the glove at that height.
- Footage from a county road camera showed Douglas Norris's grain truck stopped on Route Seven, one mile from Bitter Creek, for three and a half hours without explanation. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

20 SEP 2026 · A hospital-grade compression sock found on a snowed-over bike path - how do you fall from that high?
A dry compression sock knocked her off the balcony and into the river
In this episode, we lay out the timeline and the physical traces that frame one night in Dellard: a dry sock on fresh snow, a forged furnace inspection, a missed volunteer shift, and an employee badge used after the estimated time of death. Which of these details is coincidence, and which one points the way forward?
Person: Pamela Campbell
Date: February 10-11
Location: Linden River Greenway bike path; Ashford Arms Apartments, unit 4-C; Dellard Regional Medical Center
Status: Body found; badge missing
Person: Melvin Zimmerman
- A hospital-grade compression sock with a plastic patient-ID zip-tie was found dry atop two hours of accumulated snow at 6:14 a.m, on February 11.

- An invoice dated February 8 shows Melvin Zimmerman’s company billed for a furnace inspection at unit 4-C that building superintendent Dennis Holt never authorized or requested.
- Neighbor Sandra Obi heard a single knock and a door close at approximately 10:15 p.m. on February 10 but did not intervene; eleven words she later recalled became a key human trace.
- At 10:47 p.m. on February 10, Pamela Campbell’s employee badge registered a swipe at the hospital locker room, yet the badge was not found on her body, in her apartment, or anywhere else.
