West Virginia 1997 Cold Case Solved — Arrest Shocks Mountain Community

Описание: West Virginia 1997 Cold Case Solved — Arrest Shocks Mountain Community

The signal lights at the Canaan Ridge station were still blinking when the three technicians vanished atop the Monongahela range in West Virginia, a sparsely populated area with just a few thousand people scattered across snow-covered valleys. The December storm dumped nearly 14 inches of snow across Randolph County, turning the road up to the station into an indistinguishable white ribbon along the edge of sheer drops. At 4:12 p.m., the supply team waved goodbye through the frosted glass as Joe Lasker hugged the thermometer flask they had just returned, stepping across the narrow porch connecting the annex and the control room.

That metal flask, with its long scratch along the body from years of use, was an item the station had kept since the early 1980s. The supply supervisor watched the three men’s figures gradually dissolve into the swirling snow, their dark blue coats the last splash of color visible before full darkness fell. What happened in the hours that followed would haunt this mountain community for more than two decades.
