Description

She Whispered "Terry" - Badge Found Inside Hospital Drain 14ft Down A laminated visitor badge was found lodged fourteen feet down inside a hospital drain, bearing the name of a woman who never left her room - and a patient later whispered a stranger's dead husband's name to a nurse at 2 a.m. What connects the badge, the whispered name "Terry," and a missing bedside bag four hours later? In this episode, we narrate the sequence of events at Vellard Memorial Hospital over May 5-9, 2011, laying out what was seen, who said what, and the timeline that produces the unanswered question: how did a laminated badge end up in a rusted elbow joint and why did a patient predict a theft before it was discovered? Date: May 9, 2011 Location: Vellard Memorial Hospital, east wing, second floor Patient: Eleanor Voss, Room 214, age 73 Visitor on badge: Christine Voss Staff: Nurse Gina Cole, age 54 - A septic contractor, Mark Stroud, found the laminated visitor badge wedged three feet lateral from the vertical shaft, 14 feet down, on the morning of May 9, 2011. - The badge bore the name Christine Voss, who had signed out of the hospital on the evening of May 7, confirmed by the front-desk log. - Eleanor Voss had not left Room 214 since the afternoon of May 5 and had corrected vision of 20/20 and normal orientation. - At approximately 2:00 a.m. on May 6, Eleanor told nurse Gina Cole, "You lost someone named Terry," referencing Gina's late husband's name scratched on her Timex band. - At about 4:00 a.m. on May 7, Eleanor said, "Something was moved in the room next door," and eight hours later a loss report was filed after a bag with wallet, watch and phone was found missing from Room 212.
