The Two Stamps: How a Border Mistake Became Murder's Proof

A dry passport on a drowned body, two identical entry stamps seven minutes apart, and a border post where a single person could not have been stamped twice-what do these impossible details reveal about a murder at Verona Point? The one fact that haunted investigators for fifty-eight years remains: how did a passport stay completely dry while everything around it was soaked?

In this episode, we walk through the timeline of events at Verona Point in February 1943, from Kimberly Webb’s arrival and methodical work reviewing French-language transit permits to the odd movements of Booth Three’s temporary inspector and the strange visit to Webb’s boarding house; can a clerical stamp expose a killer?
