The Night She Woke on a Deserted Dock: Morrow Landing Mystery

The Night She Woke on a Deserted Dock: Morrow Landing Mystery

Something impossible sat on an orange rebar stake in a marsh: a composition notebook identical to one on a kitchen counter, both with the same handwriting declaring, "I got off at Morrow Landing," yet no footprints and a ferry log that records no stop. The ferry's GPS shows an eleven-minute loop centered on the river bend by Morrow Landing-so how did a careful 24-year-old records clerk end up alone on a decommissioned dock at 10:50 p.m. with no memory of getting there?

In this episode, we follow the chain of verifiable events from a conference notebook to a solitary dock, and the conflicting records that leave a single question unresolved: what happened the night Erin Collins wrote that sentence on page twelve?

Person: Erin Collins
Date: March 7-12, 2019
Location: Morrow Landing, Soline River (four miles south of Bridger)
Event: Ferry log shows no intermediate stop; GPS shows an eleven-minute loop
Item: Composition notebook found on an orange-painted rebar stake and on a kitchen counter

- Erin Collins, age 24, wrote on page twelve: "I got off at Morrow Landing. I don't know how I got off at Morrow Landing." and her phone number beneath it.
- The Marguerite Paulin Soline departed Bridger at 9:47 p.m. and the log records arrival in Calverton at 10:51 p.m, with no stops in between.
- Captain Walt Pryor had worked the Bridger-Calverton ferry route for 17 years and signed the official ferry log for that night.
- A contractor reviewing the ferry's GPS identified an eleven-minute irregular loop centered on the river bend where Morrow Landing sits.
- Harvey Weber found a composition notebook dry on an orange-painted rebar stake in marsh grass on the eastern bank of the Soline River; Weber had placed that stake 14 months earlier and reported no footprints near it.
