Description
The Yellow Boot That Split Two Lives - The Woman with Two Addresses
A two-inch yellow toddler rain boot with a laminated emergency card and two different names triggered the collapse of a meticulously maintained double life; how could a single lost shoe reveal two addresses, two phone numbers, and a woman living split across a river? What hidden system was exposed when that tiny boot fell off a stroller on Aldine Bridge Road?
In this episode, we tell the story of a woman who maintained two separate households on opposite sides of the Carrow River and the small object that unraveled everything. You will hear how calendars, prepaid phones, leases, and precise schedules kept two lives running in parallel - until the boot raised the question that made them collide.

- The yellow rain boot was discovered on November 8, 2011, on the wet gravel of Aldine Bridge Road.
- The laminated emergency card attached to the boot listed two phone numbers, two addresses (one on Dunnett Street, one on Fenner Court), and two different names for the same woman.
- Kathleen signed the Fenner Court lease as Kathleen Moreau and paid first and last month's rent by cashier's check drawn from an account under a variant of her middle name.
- Paul worked at a water treatment facility on a four-days-on, four-days-off rotating schedule that Kathleen memorized to alternate her two lives.
- Derek found Kathleen’s brown paper accordion folder with three years of color-coded calendar entries approximately four months before everything ended.
