Locked Grease Pencil: The Card That Tied Two Murders Together

The sight of a laminated index card clenched in a dead man's fist-marked "STAND BY - LIVE" in black grease pencil-linked a radio station boss to a string of violence across two bodies and years of unnoticed theft. How did a routine station cue card, a drift pin wrapped in a shop rag, and missing equipment invoices point investigators to a single technician?

In this episode, we tell what happened inside WKRL on the night of March 10 and how the discovery beneath Transmitter Building B unfolded into a case that connected two murders and missing parts; what role did a transmitter technician's access play in the crimes?

Person: Dale Young
Date: March 11, 1934 (body found)
Location: Transmitter Building B crawl space, Dunbar Falls, Nebraska
Person: Steven Williams
Person: Frank Odell

- Dale Young was 54 years old and had run WKRL for nine years.
- The index card found in Young's left fist read "STAND BY - LIVE" in black grease pencil.
- Steven Williams was 29 years old and had worked as a transmitter technician for eight months.
- The station log showed a four-minute unrecorded window during Frank Odell's transmitter check at approximately 9:50 p.m.
- Sheriff Dennis Bennett opened the satchel containing an iron drift pin on March 24, 1934, and its dimensions matched the wound at the base of Young's skull.
