The Planner on the Grate: How a Counselor Stole Lives · Dark Psychology Manipulation

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: The planner was dry. That was the first thing Lauren
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Russo registered when she stopped on the Millhaven Greenway at
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: six fifteen on a Tuesday morning in June of twenty nineteen.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It had rained the night before, The culvert grate was slick,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Puddles sat in every low point of the trail, and there,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: resting on the metal bars, perfectly centered, was a leather
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: bound planner, not warped, not swollen, completely impossibly dry. She
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: picked it up. It fell open to a page near
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the end. One line of neat handwriting read Wednesday two
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen R. Mueller, do not reschedule. She turned to the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: inside back cover. Six index cards were tucked there. Each
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: one had a woman's name, a dollar amount, and a date.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Lauren called the police. What investigators found when they traced
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that planner back through its own, its contents, and its history,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: would dismantle the story of a man who had spent
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: years presenting himself as someone you could trust with your
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: worst grief, A man who learned to sit quietly in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: rooms where people were breaking open and leave with everything
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of value. This is how he did it, and this
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is what had cost one woman to understand that her
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: memory had not failed her. Milhaven is the kind of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Midwestern town where a new face at church gets noticed
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and welcomed in the same breath. It is not small
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: enough to be isolated, not large enough for anyone to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: disappear into the crowd. People know their neighbor's cars. They
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: recognize the barista from the morning shift at the evening
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: farmer's left. There is a social fabric that feels from
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the inside like safety. Rebecca Mueller had lived inside that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: fabric for six years. By the time the summer of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen arrived, she was twenty eight years She worked
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as an administrative coordinator at no Haven Community Hospital, a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: job that required her to be the person who never
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: forgotten scheduling conflicts, compliance deadlines, personnel files. Rebecca was the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: one who caught what others missed. Her colleagues described her
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: as meticulous. A friend named Teresa Alworth once told her
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: she was the most clear headed person she knew. Rebecca
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: had smiled at that and said she just liked knowing
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: where things stood. She lived alone in an apartment on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Tappan Street. She had roughly fourteen thousand dollars in savings.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: She had built that account carefully over years on a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: coordinator's salary, because her mother had always said that a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: woman needed her own floor to stand on. Her mother
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was a Laine Mueller. In March of twenty eighteen, Elaine
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: died of pancreatic cancer. The loss arrived fast and total.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Elaine had been sick for less than eight months. Rebecca
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: had taken every day of leave. She had to be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: present during treatment. When it was over, she went back
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to work, kept her calendar, answered her emails, and quietly
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: began to come apart in a way that looked from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the outside like composure. A colleague mentioned that Calvary Ridge
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Community Church offered grief counseling through a lay councilor on staff.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: The pastor, Thomas Aldrich, sixty one years old, had assembled
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what he described as a supportive community for people navigating loss.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Rebecca was not a regular church goer, but she was practical.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: If someone in a room knew how to help her
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: feel like herself again, she was willing to walk through
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the door. She made an appointment for August of twenty eighteen.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: The councilor's name was Chad Hamilton. He was thirty five
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: years old. He had arrived in Milhaven seven months earlier,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: joined Calvary Ridge within weeks of settling in and accepted
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the councilor position that Pastor Aldrich offered him in May.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: His credentials a certificate in pastoral counseling, were never verified
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: by the church. The two Ohio references he provided were
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: never contacted. What Hamilton was in the room was attentive.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: He did not take notes during sessions. He listened, He
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: reflected language back.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: He asked the kind of questions that made a person
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: feel genuinely heard, which is one of the most disarming
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: things another human being can do for someone who is grieving.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Over the following weeks, Rebecca told him things she had
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: not said aloud to anyone else about her mother, about
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the particular shape of a loss that arrives before you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: are ready, and at some point in the natural flow
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of those conversations, she mentioned the details that anchored her
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: daily life, the bank she used, the branch where she
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: usually went, the balance she was working to protect. She
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: did not think of those as secrets, thought of them
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: as context.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Hamilton thought of them as something else entirely. He wrote
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: nothing down in the sessions. He waited until he was alone.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Then he transferred what he had heard onto index cards
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in his own hand and filed them in the back
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of a leather planner. In October of two thousand eighteen,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the sessions moved to Wednesday afternoons two fifteen every week
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: without exception. The note in the planner made that explicit
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Wednesday two fifteen R. Mueller do not reschedule. Hamilton had
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: written that himself in the same hand that filled the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: index cards. He had not asked Rebecca's preference about the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: day he had chosen it. That detail would not mean anything.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: For months. The sessions continued through the fall and into winter.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Rebecca was doing the work grief requires, naming the loss,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: sitting inside it, learning to carry it without being flattened
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: by it. She was good at that. People who knew
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: her said she approached difficult things with a kind of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: steady practicality that others found genuinely impressive. Her friend Teresa
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Alworth described her as the most clear headed person she knew.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That description matters. Hold it for a moment. Inside those
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Wednesday sessions, Rebecca spoke about her mother, about the apartment
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on Tappan Street where she lived alone, about the routines
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that kept her functional. The Wednesday calls with her friend
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Patrice Nolan, a ritual left over from when Patrice worked
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a night showed those calls started at two fifty in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the morning and ran long. She mentioned those two Hamilton
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: never wrote anything down while she was in the room.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He waited, he drove away, or walked, and then he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: wrote name, amount, date, institution. One index card per person
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: filed in the back of the planner. Rebecca's card noted
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: fourteen thousand dollars the Bankshie used the branch. By early
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, something had shifted in the architecture of Rebecca's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: daily life, though she could not yet see it. On
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the night of Wednesday, March thirteenth, she went to bed
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: after her call with Patrise Nolan ended some time past
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: four in the morning. She was at the hospital for
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: her shift the following morning. The records show her badge
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: swipe at the employee entrance. She was there. That is confirmed.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: What she did not know was what was happening simultaneously
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: two miles away, at a coffee shop two blocks from
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Calvary Ridge, someone was using a public IP address to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: access an online banking portal. The session lasted eleven minutes.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: When it ended, eleven thousand dollars had left Rebecca's savings
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: account and arrived in a brokerage account she had never opened.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Eleven thousand dollars eleven minutes, two blocks from the church.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The transfer was not flagged immediately. It looked in the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: system like a routine movement between linked accounts. The brokerage
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: account had been opened in her name with her information
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: weeks earlier. Rebecca did not find out that morning or
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that week. The money sat in that account, and the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: account was drained by the time anyone looked at it closely.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Here is the thing about how Rebecca found out. It
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: did not start with a banklot. It did not start
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: with an investigator. It started with Teresa Alworth saying in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a completely ordinary conversation that Rebecca was the most clear
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: headed person. She knew something about hearing that landed differently
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: than it should have. Rebecca had been second guessing herself
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: for weeks, small things mostly. Did she remember making that transfer?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: She must have.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Did she set up that brokerage account during some financial
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: planning moment she had forgotten? She must have done that too.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: She was grieving memory. Does strange things to people who
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: are grieving. That is what she told herself. But Teresa's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: words sat with her, and one evening, she pulled up
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: her own bank records and looked at them the way
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: she would look at someone else's records, without the buffer
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of self doubt. Eleven thousand dollars gone March fourteenth. She
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: had not done that. She was certain she had not
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: done that. She called the bank. The bank confirmed the transfer.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Confirm the IP address of origin, Confirm the brokerage account number.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She wrote down everything. Then she filed a report with
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the Millhaven Police Department, and that report landed on the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: desk of Richard Miller, forty four years old, eleven years
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in financial fraud before he moved to the investigations unit.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Miller had seen account takeovers. He had seen identity theft
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: with layers of preparation. What he had not seen before
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: was the combination of details that came into focus when
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he pulled Rebecca's full file. The transfer had happened at
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: night a Wednesday night, while she was on the phone
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: with Patrese Nolan, a call that began at two fifty
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the morning and lasted until nearly four Miller pulled
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the access logs for the portal breach. The session had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: started at two fifty two. Someone had known exactly when
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Rebecca Mueller would be unreachable by phone. Miller cross referenced
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that window against the other complaints in the system. Two
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of the names on the index cards, names he did
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: not yet have, had filed reports in the previous two
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: years unauthorized account access, identity theft. Neither case had produced
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a suspect. Both breaches had occurred on Wednesday nights. He
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: did not have the planner yet, he had no physical
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: evidence connecting anyone to Rebecca's account. What he had was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a pattern that should not have been possible unless someone
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: had been in a room with these women listening. Then
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Lauren Russo found the planner on the morning of June eleventh.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Six names on six us carments, name amount, date. Rebecca's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was third from the front. Two of the six names
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: matched the prior complaints. The note on the June fourth page,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Wednesday two fifteen R Mueller do not reschedule. Miller now
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: had a planner, a schedule, a pattern in the breech box,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and a specific day of the week connecting everything. What
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he did not have yet was a name attached to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: any of it. The planner had no identifying marks, no
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: prints that produced a match in the initial card. The
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: unit of Mercer Road storage rented under the name of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a man who had been dead for three years, had
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: been accessed at five forty seven in the morning on
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: June tenth, the day before the planner surfaced. A silver
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: sedan left the lot at five fifty two. The plates
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: came back to a rental. The rental had been paid
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in cash using a credit card belonging to one of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the women on the index cards, a woman who told
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: investigators she had never rented a car. Everything pointed outward
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: from the planner, and the planner pointed at Wednesday afternoons
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and Wednesday afternoons at Cavalry Ridge pointed at one name.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: The first instinct looking at the evidence was to build
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a case around the storage unit. The sedan on camera,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the rental paper trail, a physical location Hamilton had used
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and then abandoned. It felt like the strongest thread. Picture
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the parking lot at Mercer Road at five forty seven
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in the morning. A man walks to a unit he
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: has rented under some one else's name. He retrieves something.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Six minutes later, a silver sedan rolls past the camera
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: at the exit. The analyst who reviewed the footage described
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a coincidence of build and gait enough to be written down,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: not enough to be called an identification. The camera angle
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: cut off the face entirely. That route collapses almost immediately
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: when you stressed. Facial identification was off the table from
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the start. The rental paper were connected to a dead
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: man's name and a stolen card, which was sophisticated enough
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to survive several steps of scrutiny before it hit a wall,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and the planner itself bone dry after a night of rain.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Had not come from the storage unit through any chain
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of custody a prosecutor could defend in court someone had
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: placed it there after the rain stopped. Someone who wanted
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it found. That version of events assumes calculation that cuts
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: against the prosecution. If Hamilton was careful enough to rent
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: under the dead man's name and pay cash to a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: stolen card, why would he surface the planner in a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: way that led directly back to him walk through the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Wednesday pattern Instead, every unauthorized access happened between two fifty
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in the morning and four every single one. The portal
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: laws were consistent across multiple victims over me in years.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That is not coincidence. That is scheduling. That is, someone
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: who knew when a specific person would be occupied and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: who used that window deliberately, repeatedly, and without variation. The
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: only person with access to that information the Wednesday calls,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the two fifty ritual, the duration was the person those
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: women had trusted with the details of their lives. The
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: sessions at Calvary Ridge were the engine everything else, the cars,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the planner, the storage unit. The sedan was the machinery
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: built around an engine that ran on trust. And in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the spring of twenty twenty four, Hamilton confirmed it himself
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in a recorded conversation with a journalist. He described his method.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: He used the word systematic. He described the index cards
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: as a way of keeping his thinking organized. He described
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the Wednesday window as reliable. He said it with what
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the journalists described as clinical detachment, reliable. Rebecca Mueller had
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: thought of those Wednesday calls as the one part of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the week that felt like herself again, a thread back
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to who she was before her mother got sick. Hamilton
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: had mapped that thread, measured it, and used it as
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a timetable. The trial began in the autumn of twenty twenty.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It had been continued once before it finally reached a jury,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: nine hours of deliberation, then a verdict on every count guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The judge sentenced Chad Hamilton to eleven years. His attorneys
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: filed two appeals, both failed. Four victims were named in
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the indictment. Rebeca Mueller was one of them. The index
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: cards had named six women. Two of the remaining names
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: matched prior complaints robo deidentified unauthorized access filed years earlier
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and closed without a suspec. The record does not confirm
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: whether those women were formerly added to the case. What
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the record does confirm is that their names were in
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Hamilton's handwriting, with a mounts and dates in a leather
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: planner he had tried to leave behind eleven years for
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: what a jury could prove beyond reasonable doubt. The full
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: accounting of what Hamilton had done across how many years
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and how many cities remains as of two thousand twenty
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: four unfinished. The second planner changed everything. It was found
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: during a forensic audit of the storage unit conducted after
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the initial search inside a plastic container beneath a folded
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: blanket in a section of the unit that had not
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: been prioritized in the first pass. The entries began in
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen. The city listed was in Ohio. Investigators
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: cross reference the entries with an open question that had
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: been sitting in another state's files for years. Patricia Stull
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: had died in two thousand sixteen. Her death had been
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: classified as accidental. Her bank accounts had been drained before
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: she died. She had recently begun seeing a pastoral counselor.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: A DNA sample taken from Hamilton at the time of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: his Indiana arrest was sent to Ohio. It matched evidence
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: recovered from Stull's apartment. The Ohio investigation was reopened. What
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that means for Hamilton's legal exposure beyond Indiana has not
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: been publicly resolved. What it means for Patricia Stull's family
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: for the question of what actually happened in that apartment
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, is that the answer they were given
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was wrong, and that some one has now been asked
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to give a better one. There is something that does
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: not resolve cleanly, and it belongs here Before the close
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Hamilton gave a recorded interview in the spring of twenty
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: twenty four. He described the index cards as organization. He
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: described the Wednesday window as reliable.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He used the.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Word systematic to characterize his own method. The journalists described
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: his affect as one of clinical detachment. He was not
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: describing a crime that intery. He was describing a system,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a system built on the fact that people in grief
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: tell their counselors things they tell no one else. He
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: built that system deliberately, over years, across multiple cities, against
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: women who were already carrying something heavy. That is what
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the dry planner on the covert Great was the end of,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not a moment of impulse, a system. Rebecca Muller discovered
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the transfer herself, not because an investigator knocked on her door,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: because a friend told her she was the most clear
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: eyed person she knew, and that phrase landed somewhere deep
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: enough to make her pull up her own bank records.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: She found eleven thousand dollars missing. She reported it, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the thing she had been quietly questioning, her own memory,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: her own competence, her own stability, turned out not to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: be a symptom of grief at all. It was the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: intended effect of a very organized man reading her distress
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: back to her in a way that made her distrust herself.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: That is the part of this case that does not
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: appear in the indictment. Identity, theft and wire fraud are
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the legal categories. What actually happened, session by session, Wednesday
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: by Wednesday is harder to name. Someone sat across from
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a woman who was grieving her mother and learned with
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: apparent precision every piece of information needed to hollow out
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: her financial life, and then used her closest friendship, the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: ritual call that kept her tethered to who she was
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: before the loss as a clock. Teresa Alworth told Rebecca
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: she was clear eyed. That was enough. It should not
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: have had to be that close. Chad Hamilton is serving
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: his sentence in Indiana. The Ohio investigation is active. The
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: system he described with clinical detachment in twenty twenty four
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: did not begin in Millhaven. The second planner says it
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: began at least in twenty fifteen. How many cities, how
• 20:03

  Speaker 1: not in question is what the dry.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Planner on the grate meant the moment Lauren Rousseau stopped
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: and picked it up on a Tuesday morning in June
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: of two thoy nineteen. It was not an accident, It
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: was not the current.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It was placed there by someone for reasons that the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: record has not fully explained. But it surfaced a system
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that might otherwise have continued. The planner was dry. Everything
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: it described had already happened. Rebecca Muller knew that, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: she had been right to be unsettled, just not for
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the reasons. Hamilton has spent months suggesting this show is
