The cash padlock purchase that matched facility locks opened Sarah's unit and killed her
In this episode, we follow the sequence of routine work, unusual access logs, and a single cash purchase that connect a marina bookkeeper’s audit notes to a storage unit left ajar on a freezing January morning. What decisions and movements created the trail that led investigators to question who used that padlock and why?
Person: Sarah Taylor
Person: Dale Hunt
Person: Location: Cold Pines Storage, Unit 14
Date: January 10; padlock purchased January 4
Topic: unexplained access and invoicing discrepancies
- Sarah worked as the marina bookkeeper and had documented three invoices from Hunt Mechanical she flagged as slightly inflated.
- Dale Hunt held the Cold Pines maintenance contract, rented Unit 31, and had prior access and service notes for Unit 14.
- Hunt’s key fob recorded an entry to Cold Pines at 11:52 PM on January 9 with no corresponding work order or emergency on file.
- Unit 14 was registered to a dissolved company, had sat empty eleven months, and showed no forced entry despite the door being open and the padlock closed.
- A cash purchase of a padlock identical to facility locks was made on January 4 at Merrill Hardware, creating a physical link to the unlocked unit.
