Ledger Missing, Purse on a Pole: Who Silenced Judith Gray?

A burgundy clasp purse was found wedged three feet below the top of a thirty-two-foot power pole, dry and intact after eleven days of April rain - and inside was a note reading "Tuesday, six p.m., northeast corner, bring the ledger." The ledger that Judith Gray kept to record true production figures was missing, her body was found 180 feet away and had been ruled an accidental fall without autopsy; who moved her ledger and why was the plant allowed to close the case so fast?

In this episode, we follow the official timeline, the physical evidence, and the investigative thread that refuses to add up, and we ask whether a fatal workplace "accident" masked something deliberate at Fenwick Consolidated - who had motive and opportunity to silence Judith Gray?

Person: Judith Gray
Date: April 3-14, 1943
Location: Fenwick Consolidated Munitions Plant, Caldwell, Indiana
Investigator: Marvin Wagner
Item found: Burgandy clasp purse containing $41.60, a ration book, lipstick, and a handwritten note

- Judith Gray was 52 years old and had worked eleven years in the east assembly building.
- Her body was discovered at 11:40 a.m., forty minutes after Jesse Polk swept that stretch of floor at 11:00 a.m.
- A work order to clear Gray's office was filed the morning of April 4, before the family had been notified.
- Boyd’s safety-walk log showed rounds typically of 20-25 minutes but recorded 51 minutes on the night Gray died.
- The purse was found 180 feet from where Gray supposedly fell, lodged three feet below the pole top on a 32-foot pole.
