Pelican Point Above: Pelican Point, a strip of land just off the shore of Utah Lake, in March 2016 The Apple Seed Team tried their hand at creating a radio mystery drama inspired by the Golden Age of Radio and a story ripped from the headlines of an 1895 Utah crime. In 1895, the bodies of three young men were found near Pelican Point, Utah. The peculiar case captured the attention of local and national authorities and news outlets, including Sheriff George Storrs from Provo. What would ensue would become a cat and mouse chase between Sheriff Storrs, and the notorious conman, James Weeks.  ACT I (00:00 - 22:45) The bodies of Albie Enstrom, Alfred Nelson, and Andrew Johnson are found by locals along the shores of Utah Lake. Sheriff George A. Storrs investigates Harry Hayes as his primary suspect. ACT II (22:45-37:43) James Weeks flees Utah, using his smooth talking skills to travel all over the Western frontier with Sheriff Storrs following close behind. ACT III (37:43-57:53) The exciting finale of our Utah-based mystery takes us all over the country: Colorado, Chicago, and even New York.

Storrs Dallin Halls as James Weeks Peter Lambert as Deputy Kimball Mark Wait as Silas Leah Hodson as Caroline Hayes Ralph Tobias as Harry Hayes Shawn O'Neil as Cobb Kassandra Haddock as Jennie Weeks Steven Olson as Albie Engstrom Kate and Olivia Judd as Gracie Weeks Gabriel Spencer as C.T.
