The Shoe in the Mud: How a Phone Number Saved Emily Anderson
-
Lu par :

De :
A frozen shoe with its sole facing up held a ten-digit phone number written in careful black marker - and a nine-year-old girl had been missing for almost two days. The number on the canvas became the single clue that tied a volunteer at the search to a foreclosed basement seven miles away; how did that Sharpie disappear from Emily’s pencil case and end up on a shoe in the mud?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Emily Anderson’s routine walk home to the moments volunteers signed the command post log, and we track the details that drew attention to one neighborhood resident - leading to the question of who had access to Emily’s house and why a contractor’s key was never returned.
Person: Emily Anderson
Date: December 7, 2011
Location: Rennick, Missouri
Person: Neil Hayes
Item: Sharpie missing from pencil case
- Emily Anderson was nine years old and walked four of six blocks home from Clover Ridge Elementary on December 7, 2011.
- A ten-digit phone number was written on the white canvas of a shoe found in frozen mud forty yards off a rural road.
- Emily’s backpack was recovered from a dumpster behind Pizza Barn on Clement Road within hours, with every pencil case item present except the black permanent marker.
- Neil Hayes, age thirty-eight, signed the volunteer log at the command post at 6:40 p.m. on December 7 and stayed until 9:15 p.m.
- Hayes had been inside Susan Anderson’s Packard Street rental for approximately two hours in January 2011 as a contractor and was given a key that was never returned.
