   Dry Boots in a Soaked Field: The Last Night Julie Bell Was Seen

   Dry Boots in a Soaked Field: The Last Night Julie Bell Was Seen A rural harvest night ends with a running combine, an open cab door, and a pair of work boots tied and sitting perfectly upright-completely dry in a field soaked by hours of rain. The contrast of dry leather in wet mud became the single strange image that would keep investigators and a small Nebraska town awake for thirty-nine days; who texted "Running late, give me ten" and why did Julie Bell leave the cab? In this episode, we follow the timeline from the final confirmed sighting at 9:15 p.m. to the discovery of the running combine at 7:42 a.m., outlining the key evidence found on scene and the first investigative steps taken by local deputies. How did a prepaid phone message, a silent cellphone that last pinged at 9:41 p.m., and one set of tire tracks shape the search for Julie? Person: Julie Bell Age: 28 Date: June 14, 2011 Location: Calloway County, Nebraska Event: Combine found running with dry boots on metal step - At 7:42 a.m. on June 14, 2011, Melvin Powell discovered the combine running with the cab door open and a pair of dry work boots on the metal step. - Julie Bell’s phone last registered on a cell tower at 9:41 p.m. on June 13, 2011, and later rang twice before going to voicemail. - A text from an unknown prepaid number reading "Running late, give me ten" arrived at 8:53 p.m. on June 13; Julie did not reply but left the cab. - Dennis Harlow last saw Julie climb back into the combine at 9:15 p.m. while he was still in Arlow. - On June 18, Deputy Chris Wald found one set of tire tracks on the dried access shoulder along Sutter Line about 1.5 miles west of the Harlow farm.

   The Two Sneakers in the Drain: What Patton Mills Hid for 16 Days

   The Two Sneakers in the Drain: What Patton Mills Hid for 16 Days A quiet town watched a familiar routine break: two white New Balance sneakers, size seven, placed heel to toe and dry inside a storm drain while the surrounding sidewalk was soaked from last night’s rain-clearly set there before the storm ended. Who planned this careful placement, and what did it mean for the woman who vanished on her usual eleven-block walk? In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Christine Jones leaving the Sunrise Grille at 8:51 AM on Tuesday, May 3, 2011, to the discovery that made investigators realize her disappearance had been planned. What the shoes, the camera footage, and the small-town patterns reveal about those missing eleven blocks is the question that drives the episode. Person: Christine Jones Date: May 3, 2011 Location: Celler Avenue and Marsh, Patton Mills Detective: Ralph Vogel Finder: Gloria Allen - Christine left the Sunrise Grille at 8:51 AM after an eleven-year Tuesday routine of the same table and same order. - She lived nineteen years in Patton Mills and was 54 years old at the time of disappearance. - Two days passed before her daughter Renee formally reported her missing. - Two white New Balance sneakers, size seven, worn on the outside of the right heel, were found heel to toe in a storm drain on Celler Avenue. - The shoes were dry while the entire block was wet, indicating they were placed in the drain before the rain stopped.

   Placemat, River Stone, and the Wednesday Night That Broke a Town

   Placemat, River Stone, and the Wednesday Night That Broke a Town A laminated placemat from the week of April 7th, found 3.5 miles from the diner that printed it and pinned under a river stone in a drainage depression after three rainstorms, became the single clue that cracked a case in seventy-two hours. A 22-year-old who never missed a Wednesday vanished after locking up a game night; what did that placemat point investigators toward? In this episode, we follow the timeline of George Meyer’s disappearance, the early witness account that steered the investigation the wrong way, and the bank record that changed everything - leading to the question: why was George’s debit card used at 6:52 a.m. at a gas station one mile from home? Person: George Meyer Date: April 9-10, 2014 Location: Dunmore Township, Indiana Witness: Diane Ferris Detective: Jeffrey Chambers - The placemat showed weekly specials for the week of April 7th and was found 3.5 miles from the diner that printed it. - The placemat lay in a drainage depression with its center dry and a river stone placed directly on top. - George Meyer was 22 years old and had been missing for nine days when the placemat was photographed. - George ran a tabletop role-playing game every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., serving as game master with a thick binder of session notes. - George’s debit card was used at 6:52 a.m. on April 10th at the Millhaven Road BP station, a location approximately one mile east of town.
