Description
Scrubs Folded, Car Warm: Who Took Kathleen Russo at Dawn?
Cold scrubs stacked in the order you'd put them on, a gray Honda Civic with the door ajar and windows fogged, and no sign of Kathleen Russo - who vanished between a 5:47 a.m. phone ping and a 5:50 a.m. log entry. The sign-out entry showed heavier pen pressure and an angle inconsistent with six months of her handwriting; was the log signed under coercion or by someone else?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the scene at the Linden Park Aquatic Center parking lot, and the forensic details that puzzled investigators, all to ask the question that won't let go: how did Kathleen disappear from a car left with badge, keys, and folded scrubs but without her phone or wallet?
Person: Kathleen Russo
Age: 28
Date: April 9, 2011
Location: Linden Park Aquatic Center parking lot
Investigator: Detective Keith Weaver
- Kathleen's last confirmed cell tower ping registered at 5:47 a.m., seventeen minutes before the log entry time.
- The sign-out log entry for April 9 read 5:50 a.m. and was in Kathleen's handwriting style but with heavier pen pressure and a different pen angle.
- The Honda Civic was found with the driver's door open about four inches and windows fogged from the inside.
- On the driver's seat were folded scrubs, a lanyard and badge, and a silver key ring; Kathleen's phone and wallet were missing.
- Alan Andrews discovered the car at 7:14 a.m. and called 911.
