Sealed in Concrete: The Purse That Proved a Vanished Woman Wronged
-

The discovery that a butter-yellow coin purse monogrammed G.N. had been sealed inside an original curb pour for twenty-three years turns a closed missing-person file into a mystery of time and official assumption. If the purse’s Western Union receipt was dated May 3, 1927, and the curb was poured April 11-17, 1928, how did Gloria Novak’s belongings end up entombed almost a year after she vanished?
In this episode, we follow the physical trail from a road grader blade to city records, tracing what was inside the purse, where it was found, and who first took an interest in the discrepancy - asking whether a dismissed disappearance might have been mishandled or worse.
Person: Gloria Novak
Date of disappearance: May 3, 1927
Discovery date of purse: May 14, 1951
Curb pour dates: April 11-17, 1928
Find: Western Union receipt dated May 3, 1927
- The purse contained $4.60 in coins, a Western Union receipt dated May 3, 1927, and an obsolete bus transfer.
- One coin was a 1925 Mercury dime found uncirculated inside the purse.
- The curb where the purse was found was part of an original pour dated April 11-17, 1928, with no cuts or patches.
- Police closed Gloria Novak’s case eleven days after her disappearance, concluding she had left town.
- Connie Ward, a 43-year-old city licensing investigator, pulled the licensing file for 414 Milling Street after the purse was turned over to her.
