A county surveyor finds a locked root cellar with a single set of boot prints leading out - how do you fall from that high?The red clay in his wheel well sent him off the ridgeIn this episode, we follow how a routine boundary check became the first clue in a missing-person case at Haller Creek. The episode traces the discoveries - the locked cellar, one set of prints, a disputed invoice and a clay sample - and asks what they mean for the man whose billing records put him elsewhere.Person: Sarah MyersDate: October 9, 2019Location: Haller Creek, Denton CountyPerson: Carl WilliamsEvidence: red iron-oxide clay in truck wheel well- A county surveyor found Sarah Myers unresponsive in a root cellar latched from the outside with boot prints only pointing toward the door.- Neighbor Pete Larson reported seeing Carl Williams’s truck at Sarah’s gate on the evening the death window was later established.- Williams’ invoice listed the Haller Creek job as completed on October 7, 2019, and he logged eleven billable days in October that others later said he did not work.- Investigator Duane Mason ordered a search of Williams’s truck and technicians swabbed the bed and wheel well for forensic material.- Forensic analysis identified red iron-oxide clay in the wheel-well seam that matched the unique deposit found only on the Haller Creek cellar floor.Tired of ads?
