  • Disconnected for Eleven Years, the Payphone Called - Check the Water

    Disconnected for Eleven Years, the Payphone Called - Check the Water
    Nov 2 2026
    Disconnected for Eleven Years, the Payphone Called - Check the Water

    A dead payphone rang at 4:30 PM on May 3-seven rings from a handset with no wire, no network, and a woman’s voice saying, "The water is still running. Check the water." Who wired a disconnected phone to deliver that exact, life-saving message eleven years after the line was cut?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events that led a routine maintenance visit to intersect with a deliberately reactivated payphone, tracing the people, the failing infrastructure, and the timing that made the warning possible. How did a battery, a rerouted circuit, and three quarters become the only thing keeping a motel from flooding?

    Person: Bruce Brown
    Person: Pat Devlin
    Location: Meridian Sands Motel, Route Nine West, four miles outside Caliche Flat, Nevada
    Date: May 3 (phone rang at 4:30 PM); phone disconnected March 2009; copper removed summer 2011; Pat rewired fall 2013; motel closed 2012
    Event: Payphone rang seven times and delivered the message "The water is still running. Check the water."

    - The payphone rang seven times at approximately 4:30 PM on May 3.
    - The motel had twelve units, all shuttered, with plywood on the windows and a faded vacancy sign.
    - The phone had been disconnected in March 2009 and the copper wire pulled in summer 2011.
    - Pat Devlin rewired the phone in fall 2013 using a car battery, two-conductor wire, and left three quarters in the coin return.
    - Bruce Brown returned the next morning and found standing water in the valve vault behind Unit Nine and a leaking galvanized pipe beneath the laundry room slab.

  • The Folder That Predicted April 15 - Found in a Dry Basement

    The Folder That Predicted April 15 - Found in a Dry Basement
    Nov 1 2026
    The Folder That Predicted April 15 - Found in a Dry Basement

    A manila folder, completely dry and propped four inches above a past waterline, contained four typed pages written in the future tense describing events of April 15 - yet it was found on April 19. The folder named graduate student Lisa Vaughn and referenced details only someone present could have known; who printed those pages and why they predicted a date remains unanswered.

    In this episode, we trace the chain of access and actions in Halverson University's Sub-Level C, from keycard entries and restricted archival boxes to a logged printer job, and ask how a document printed on April 13 could read like a script for April 15.

    Person: Lisa Vaughn
    Person: Marcus Teel
    Location: Sub-Level C, Halverson University basement
    Date: April 13 (printer job); April 15 (events described); April 19 (folder found)
    Device: Brother HL-22270DW printer (job logged 18:06 on April 13)

    - The folder was found on April 19 in Sub-Level C, resting four inches above a waterline stain from a prior flood.
    - The folder contained four typed pages written in third person and future tense describing events dated April 15.
    - A keycard belonging to Edwin Marsh was used to access Sub-Level C on the night of April 11 at 22:22, with 22 minutes logged inside.
    - Box 108-V was photographed by Lisa during her first archival visit in February and contained a list with one name in different ink.
    - A four-page document was printed from the graduate history office on April 13 at 18:06 using a guest credential on a Brother HL-22270DW.

  • The Woman Who Vanished Without Leaving a Single Return Print

    The Woman Who Vanished Without Leaving a Single Return Print
    Oct 31 2026
    The Woman Who Vanished Without Leaving a Single Return Print

    Fear of the unknown and the impossible hook the moment you see boot prints leading to a railing, two handprints pressed into frost - and then nothing returns. A photograph taken at 5:47 a.m. on March 9, 2011, shows a trail that ends at the river; why did sixty-one passengers sleep through what left no sign of a return?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from boarding to disappearance, the photograph that became evidence, and the personal details that made Angela Murphy’s absence impossible to explain. What do the photographs, the preparations she left behind, and the unknown man in her life tell us about what really happened?

    Person: Angela Murphy
    Date: March 9, 2011
    Location: Morrow Queen rear deck; docked at Pella's Landing
    Photographer: Scott Petersen
    Search: Three days of river searches with divers over a two-mile corridor

    - Photograph taken at 5:47 a.m. shows boot prints walking to the stern railing with two handprints pressed into the frost.
    - Sixty-one passengers boarded; the gangway turnstile recorded sixty exits, leaving one person unaccounted for.
    - Angela Murphy was 54 years old and worked 19 years as a billing coordinator at a regional orthopedic clinic.
    - Angela left detailed written instructions for Copernicus, her 14-year-old diabetic orange tabby, including the vet emergency number and insulin pen location.
    - Last confirmed sighting before disappearance: bought tea and a blueberry muffin at 9:50 p.m. from gallery employee Chris Yount while carrying a blue-covered novel and a cat-print tote.
