29 SET 2026 · The Culvert Clue: How Losing Tickets Exposed a $31K Inside Job
A sandwich bag stuffed with 184 losing exacta tickets - stamped the same afternoon and expiring at 5:00 p.m. - was found 14 inches inside a concrete culvert at Harlan Downs on November 9, 2011. Someone had placed $18,400 in losing bets and hidden the slips just far enough to be invisible from the fence line but close enough to retrieve in seconds; who engineered a cleanup so deliberate and what cover did it mask?
In this episode, we follow the discovery, the first officer on scene, and the trail that tied routine racetrack schedules and camera gaps to a premeditated plan; how did notes from a camera demonstration and a forged maintenance sign-in become pieces of the same scheme?
Date: November 9, 2011
Person: Nancy Hicks
Person: William McCarthy
Person: Cheryl Fleming
Location: Harlan Downs racetrack
- 184 betting slips found in a sandwich bag 14 inches inside a concrete culvert.

28 SET 2026 · The Invisible Heist: How Iridium-192 Disappeared from a Vault
Danger hid in plain sight: thirty-one point four grams of Iridium-192 moved out of a federally controlled vault over eight weeks without a single automated alert, and the only clue was a crumpled foil pouch found in a septic drain. Who engineered a weight-substitution scheme that made the paper logs look perfect while grams vanished?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries and the people involved, from the septic contractor who first found the pouch to the environmental crimes investigator who forced a physical count. What failed in the checks and balances that let a licensed isotope leave a secure lab unnoticed?
Location: Castellan Hall
Room: B-14
Person: Kenneth Bennett
Person: Jessica Schultz
Person: Dawn Young
- 31.4 grams of licensed Iridium-192 were unaccounted for after a two-day physical inventory.
- The manifest showed a pouch labeled "Iridium-192, 4.3 grams, Lot 7, BK" found in a septic line.
- Room B-14 required a four-digit keypad plus biometric palm scan and logged every opening to the second.
- Nine people held authorized access to the vault; deliveries were met at the north-side hazmat loading bay.
- The analytical balance used to weigh materials was standalone, manually recorded, and certified annually. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

27 SET 2026 · The Impossible Seal: How a Birdwatcher Broke a Million-Dollar Dock Conspiracy
A split chrome-yellow bolt-seal with stenciled digits that "did not exist" turned up in a birdwatcher’s photograph and pointed to $1.4 million in undeclared cargo at Meridian Harbor - but the manifest that should have exposed it listed a forty-foot container at 4,210 pounds, less than half its standard tare. How did a seal still logged in the harbor master’s lockbox end up on Lot Seven, and who forged the inspector’s signature?
In this episode, we follow the trail from a retired birdwatcher’s accidental photo to the documents and people that reveal a months-long scheme at a busy freight terminal, asking how routine checks failed and what one Special Agent needed to prove the discrepancy.
Person: Terrence Voss
Person: Eugene Marshall
Person: Bruce White
Event: Photograph of split chrome-yellow bolt-seal on Lot Seven, September 11, 2019
Case: Container MRHU-4471 manifested weight 4,210 pounds
- The seal photographed was chrome-yellow, cut cleanly in two, and bore stenciled digits matching a code still listed in the harbor master’s lockbox.
- Container MRHU-4471 arrived September 8, 2019 and was manifested at 4,210 pounds, while a standard empty forty-foot steel container has a tare weight of roughly 8,000 pounds.
- Terrence Voss was a 58-year-old dock inspector with 19 years of service whose name appeared on the manifest but who declared he had no memory of signing it.
- Bruce White, a 51-year-old retired tile-supply worker and birdwatcher, photographed Lot Seven on September 11, 2019 and submitted the image that revealed the split seal.
- Document examiner Patricia Oakes found the manifest’s signature ink aged 3-4 weeks older than the rest of the form, indicating the signature was applied at a different time than the entries.

26 SET 2026 · Open Vault, Open Secrets: How a Leftover Tape Cracked $212,000
The calm of a commercial building was shattered not by forced entry but by a vault left open and $212,000 missing, with a tiny curl of blue painter's tape the only immediate clue. Who had the knowledge to walk in, disarm the Sentinel Pro 4400, and open a Browder Series Nine vault rated for four hours without leaving signs of a break-in?
In this episode, we follow the investigation from the moment a paperboy finds the front door standing wide open to the eleven-day inquiry led by junior investigator William Walker, tracking tenant histories, alarm-code gaps, and a single piece of tape to ask how inside knowledge can replace brute force.
Person: William Walker
Event: Vault opened and $212,000 stolen
Date: August 2011
Device: Sentinel Pro 4400 alarm panel
Vault: Browder Series Nine
- 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in August 2011 when a paper route teen found the front door open
- The alarm panel showed solid green - active-disarmed - one hour and thirteen minutes before posted hours
- The vault taken was a Browder Series Nine installed in 2006, rated to resist forced entry for four hours
- A small curl of blue painter's tape, about two inches long, adhesive side down, was found under the steel shelving lip in the vault anteroom
- Three people had the vault combination: Dennis Pryce, Barbara Chu, and vault technician Phil Moser; none reported sharing it To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

25 SET 2026 · The Drain Key That Bought Silence: How They Dug Into The Vault
Fear of a breach you thought impossible: a bright brass key found in a sealed street matched a safe-deposit box number after forty-one boxes were emptied and a fourteen-foot tunnel led from a sub-basement to a barricaded road. How did a vault with no alarm events and no forced exterior doors end up dug into from beneath, and who set the money moving across three states before anyone found the key?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries and documents that framed the case: the key in the gutter, the sealed street, the hole in the sub-basement wall, and the paper trail of facility credentials and work tickets that raised the central question - how was access engineered without triggering the expected alarms?
Person: Gina Dempsey
Date: July 5, 2011
Location: Pryor Street
Event: Forty-one safe-deposit boxes forced open
Person: Nicole York
- A road-grader operator found a numbered brass key in the gutter on Pryor Street on the final cleanup pass.
- Pryor Street had been closed to all traffic and pedestrian access from July 1 through July 5 per a public notice published June 9.
- The key's number matched one of the safe-deposit boxes at Callum Tri-County Savings, located approximately sixty yards north of where the key was found.
- The vault's alarm panel logged no events and the motion sensor had not triggered over the holiday weekend despite forty-one boxes being emptied.
- Credential number forty-seven, assigned to Robert Quinn, appeared on six sub-basement access logs in the prior fourteen months, and again on July 1 at 7:44 p.m. with no work order attached.

24 SET 2026 · The Slow Drain: How Forty-Seven Envelopes Exposed $1.6M Theft
Forty-seven sealed envelopes, bleached by UV and smelling of recirculated casino air, held $212,000 abandoned inside a transformer housing-an end-piece to a five-year scheme that siphoned just under $1.6 million. How did tiny, routine rounding errors and a door that didn't lock hide theft for years, and what finally made it stop?
In this episode, we walk through the sequence of events from a June 11, 2009 discovery to the tactics that enabled the slow extraction and laundering of casino cash, asking how design assumptions and small gaps in oversight created a multi-year blind spot.
Person: Roger Tillman
Person: Kimberly O'Connor
Event: Discovery of 47 envelopes on June 11, 2009 at 6:14 a.m.
Amount: $212,000 found in envelopes; just under $1.6 million total drained
Location: Coppervane Resort and Casino count room and transformer housing, Dunmore, Nevada
- Roger Tillman worked count-room security for six years and was described as "dependable" in a 2005 review.
- The operation produced eighty-one logged weight discrepancies over thirty-eight months, each ranging from 0.4 to 1.1 kilograms.
- Cash was removed in increments of $2,000-$3,000 per trip concealed in a modified maintenance kit.
- A door labeled "ELECTRICAL - AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" had been listed as secured since 2006 but had not actually locked since that renovation.
- Kimberly O'Connor stopped collecting in spring 2008 after learning of an unrelated Gaming Control Board audit and left approximately $212,000 in the transformer housing. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

23 SET 2026 · The Man Who Left Forty-One Thousand and Walked Away
Fear of getting caught-and of something stranger-hits before you press play: forty-one thousand dollars, sealed and untouched, sitting on a railroad tie at milepost forty-four as though someone had set it down and vanished. Who left a pristine satchel of bonded payroll on a spur where every ledger, lock and signature said nothing was missing-and why was a reported-lost access badge found with the cash?
In this episode, we follow the discovery and the official records that refuse to line up. You’ll hear how a runner found the satchel, how the chain-of-custody looked flawless on paper, and what single inconsistency might be the key to everything: which badge actually moved when?
Person: Rachel Evans
Event: Satchel with $41,000 found
Location: Milepost 44, Copper Ridge spur
Person: Kenneth Rafferty
Person: Douglas Feeny
- The satchel contained $41,000 in bonded payroll and was sealed with no bands disturbed.
- Rachel Evans discovered the satchel at 5:15 AM on May 9, 2014 and photographed it before calling non-emergency services.
- Kenneth Rafferty reported his access badge lost on May 3, 2014 and received a replacement on May 5, 2014.
- Douglas Feeny had kept Rafferty’s original badge since February and used it on the evening of May 8, 2014 during the Saddleback stop.
- Freight logs show four scheduled stops with signatures; the Saddleback envelope in the manifest was replaced by a blank one labeled “K. Rafferty.” To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

22 SET 2026 · She Was Just A Meter Reader - She Found a Stolen Masterpiece
You feel the chill when something meant to be secure is not - a $14,000 regional painting disappeared for nearly twelve months, then a meter reader found a convincing reproduction leaning against a cinder-block wall in a gravel alley; how could nobody in the museum notice for a year and what snapped the scheme open? Who had the access, the motive, and the timing to swap an original for a fake and leave it in plain sight?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries starting with a photograph taken by a meter reader and trace how that single image reached the county sheriff, leading to confirmations by a conservator and a detective's visit that raised more questions than answers; what exactly happened during the nine-minute window caught on security footage?
Person: Lisa Russo
Date: April 2019
Location: Millbrook Regional Arts Center (gravel service alley)
Person: Lauren Walsh
Topic: Dorothea Vane painting - replacement valuation $14,000
- The painting was found leaning against the outside wall at seven in the morning after sitting there for eleven days.
- The original Dorothea Vane had been donated in 2011 and was valued at $14,000 for insurance.
- The conservator, Brenda Cho, spent exactly eleven minutes confirming the work in storage was a reproduction.
- Security footage shows Duane Roberts inside the building at 14:47 and out of camera range for nine minutes.
- Lisa Russo had walked that same gravel easement on the fourth Thursday of every month for six years. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

21 SET 2026 · The Coffee Cup on the Roof: How an Inside Man Betrayed Trust
Fear that the familiar routine you trust could be the linchpin of a crime begins with a single white coffee cup on an armored truck roof-warmed minutes after purchase and perfectly centered, not tipped, and linked to a predictable fuel-stop habit. How did a medium black coffee, bought at 6:22 a.m., become the clue that unspooled a $412,000 armored-vehicle theft?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the 6:40 a.m. discovery of an empty armored compartment to the two-year investigation that followed, showing how GPS logs, a burner phone, and a medical note about a scalp contusion reframed the case. Could the routine of one trusted driver be the key to unraveling who planned and executed the heist?
Date: March 11, 2019
Person: Marvin Zeller
Event: Armored truck robbery with $412,000 missing
Location: Millhaven Savings & Loan parking lot
Case: Belford Courier Services route through Caldwell County
- $412,000 in mixed cash packed and sealed for branch distribution was missing from the rear compartment.
- Marvin Zeller was 41 years old and had eight years at Belford Courier Services with no disciplinary record.
- GPS logs showed a consistent five-to-eight minute stop at Kresge Road Fuel Mart at 6:22 a.m. for 22 months, and a six-minute stop there that morning.
- Zeller’s personal phone placed a two-minute call at 5:58 a.m. to a number later traced to a prepaid burner bought with cash 11 days before the robbery.
- The emergency physician noted a scalp contusion described as consistent with contact against a blunt surface, not with being struck by another person. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

20 SET 2026 · Forty-Four Inches Above a Half-Million: The Glove That Exposed Them
A single latex glove found forty-four inches above a vault holding nearly $480,000 pointed investigators to a cramped crawlspace where someone had been living and working for weeks. How did a routine alarm delay and one payroll of $15,000 hide a months-long operation directly above a bank vault?
In this episode, you’ll hear how a dog groomer’s morning walk turned into the tip that led Crestfield Police to a crawlspace with tool marks, sheet protection, and a pattern of repeated access; can the torn glove and a worn conduit panel reveal who was behind the scheme?
Person: Jennifer O'Connor
Person: Kevin Evans
Location: First Meridian Savings, Holloway Street branch
Date: February 2017
Amount: approximately $480,000
- The vault was a Greystone Series IV installed in 2009 with a 12-hour torch resistance rating.
- On a standard weekday the vault held approximately $480,000; on Fridays it held closer to $600,000.
- Marvin Phillips was paid $15,000 to delay an alarm-test window by a few hours.
- Forensics estimated the conduit panel had been removed and replaced a minimum of 20 times over 31 working nights.
- The crawlspace directly above the vault measured 44 inches in height and contained three folded sections of plastic sheeting, a rechargeable work light, two empty water bottles, and one latex glove.
