Season 6 Special Episode 5 "We Found The Root Cellar" From The Best Of Murder Phone

Murder Phone

This episode is from our "The Best Of Murder Phone" list !
Tony, Al and Joey were very disappointed after the first trip to Cape Cod in December of 2016. They found the general area of the root cellar so they knew it was there, but they needed a new plan of attack. We began to investigate Ground Penetrating Radar and after much investigation and some disappointments we finally are able to rent a GPR device (Noggin 500) and return to Cape Cod in November of 2018.

We retrace our earlier steps and spend 4 days formulating grids and soil slices. During these 4 days we were on the phone with experts in the field of GPR. We had sent so many videos and images and had so many false alarms that we were getting discouraged.
Finally on the 4th day we find an area that is as Hadden described it, and it is at a depth that makes sense. At this point we are pretty sure this is it, so we sent all the new images to Hans and waited to hopefully hear some positive news.We finally got the call we had been waiting for, Hans said, “after looking at your notes and the data from the GPR I’m sure you guys found what you were looking for.” It was music to our ears. After over two years, two trips to Cape Cod, and a whole lot of time, work and expense we finally found Hadden’s secret Root cellar. It was late in the day and the sun was going down. The fact that we were standing over the root cellar made the excitement almost unbearable, but at the same time foreboding.
