The Logbook on the Wellhead: Three Mile Markers, One Impossible Man

The Logbook on the Wellhead: Three Mile Markers, One Impossible Man

Fear crawls into ordinary routines: a trucker files a logbook in dispatch on August 6, 2014, and three days later that same book appears on a wellhead in Pawnee County opened to a page mapping three mile markers into Utah - each annotated "he was there." Who could have known where Bruce Sanders would stop before the stops even happened?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the documents, and the people tied to the route between North Platte and Salt Lake City to show how precise records and routine stops collide with an unexplained appearance. How did that logbook end up on a wellhead, and what did the circled mile markers predict?
