The Barrette in the Sealed Meter: Childproof Mystery at 14 Siltmore

A sealed steel meter enclosure with intact bolts and a weather gasket contained a pale yellow child's butterfly barrette-bone dry and resting on the base as if placed moments before. How did it get inside a watertight meter box on the north wall of a new house with no history of children living there?

In this episode, we tell the documented account of 14 Siltmore Drive, describing the sequence of events from the house move-in to the oddities recorded by the homeowner and the utility lineman, and we ask whether these anomalies point to a mundane oversight or something else entirely.

Event: Answering machine call from the home’s own number on May 3, 2017

- The barrette was pale yellow, shaped like a child's butterfly, and found bone dry on the bottom plate of the sealed meter enclosure.
- The meter enclosure had intact bolts and a compression gasket; the gap when sealed was not wide enough for a finger.
- Megan Barnes photographed the barrette before touching it and logged it in her report.
- Megan Barnes moved into 14 Siltmore Drive in March 2016 and logged recurring early-morning drops in water pressure starting April 9, 2016.
- On May 3, 2017 at 7:44 p.m., Barnes's answering machine recorded an 18-second call originating from her own landline that sounded like water moving through a narrow pipe.
