A blue clog at Linden Creek and a photo sent to a Crestfield detective reopen a missing persons probe. How did that clog expose what happened to Emily Evans?

The blue clog sat upright and sent Emily's photo to a detective

In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries beginning with a birdwatcher’s photo and tracing back to the night Emily Evans vanished. The episode covers the timeline, the evidence that didn’t fit investigators’ early assumptions, and the question that kept the case open: how did that single clog redirect an investigation?

Person: Emily Evans, 32
Date: January 9, 2019 (disappearance)
Location: Denny Falls, Ohio; Linden Creek Nature Preserve; Route Seven
Evidence: gray Honda Civic found January 12 with keys on seat; blue rubber clog photographed March 14, 2021
Investigator: Detective Jason Weaver

- A birdwatcher, Sherry Wells, found a lone blue rubber clog sitting upright on a dry culvert in undisturbed three-day-old snow and photographed it.
- The photo was phoned into the Crestfield County non-emergency line and within an hour reached a detective already carrying Emily’s two-year-old missing persons case.
- Emily clocked out of Harwell Distribution at 5:41 p.m. on January 9, 2019; her car was found three days later six miles west in the wrong direction with the keys on the driver’s seat.
- HVAC contractor Ross Petersen’s van logged entry to the Harwell lot at 4:55 p.m.-forty-six minutes past the official service window-and was present when Emily left.
- Coworker Marcus Obi recalled Petersen asking Emily twice in December where she parked after dark, a repeated question that later gained new significance.
