April 6th, 1923 – The small town of Goshen, California, was left shaken after a brazen heist rocked the community. Fred Ilell, a local resident, reported to the authorities that his prized prune orchard had been stolen, leaving him with nothing but a barren landscape of sixty-six uprooted trees. The cunning thief had taken the time to cover their feet with sacks, carefully erasing any footprints that might have led to their capture. ‘It’s a slap in the face to the honest folk of this town,’ said Ilell, visibly shaken by the loss. The case remains unsolved, leaving the residents of Goshen on edge, wondering who could be behind such a daring crime.
