Fisherman Finds a Bag That Buries a Whole Town: The Fenwick Road Racket
-
Narrated by:

By:
A fisherman found a 211-page spiral-bound logbook sealed in a freezer bag, placed exactly above the October waterline-bone dry and deliberately positioned. Inside were dispatch records that tied a local towing company, a county supervisor, and 43 businesses into an eleven-year pattern of pay-for-release entries-so how did a night dispatcher’s hidden column bring it all to light?
In this episode, we follow the discovery and the records it contained, what those entries reveal about Fenwick Road Service and local officials, and the questions raised by a log kept in secret for years: could a single ledger expose a decade-long racket?
Person: John Hicks
Person: Sherry O'Connor
Person: Carl Denning
Pages: 211
