A left glove on a bank step and a custodian’s fingerprint-can a detective prove who slipped through a functioning alarm before the money vanished?

The left glove left on the step started a forty‑foot clock to his alibi

In this episode, we follow Detective Robert Vaughn as he pieces together the morning the Harwell Savings & Trust vault was emptied and a single left-handed glove became the first lead. The episode traces the physical evidence, timelines, and contradictions that raise the central question: who walked through an active alarm and walked away with $618,000?

Date: August 10, 2011
Person: Detective Robert Vaughn
Person: Frank Peterson
Location: Harwell Savings & Trust, Cale City, Indiana
Amount: $618,000

- A seventeen-year-old paper carrier found a single left-handed work glove on the concrete step at 6:14 a.m.
- The bank vault was empty of $618,000 in bundled payroll cash but showed no signs of forced entry and no triggered alarm sensors.
- Vault-corridor sensors were tested and logged as fully operational 48 hours earlier, with overlapping infrared coverage every six feet.
- Forensic ridge-count confirmation matched a partial latent inside the glove to custodian Frank Peterson, who had nine years on the job.
- Tower records placed Peterson’s phone 40 feet from the vault at 11:02 p.m., contradicting his claim he was home by 10:00 p.m.
