Basin Electric employee does detective work

In mid-August, Cheri Wenzel, Basin Electric account analyst II, was taking the scenic route down to Rapid City, SD, with her family. Along the way, they stopped at Shade Hill Resort, a primitive camping site near Lemmon, SD, to let their dog out for a rest.

That's when they found it -- a nice digital camera. Nice enough that they spent their next five days trying to track down its owner.

It was loaded with 455 photos and videos. Cheri meticulously went through each photo and video, searching for clues. (Watch the video below to learn about the clues she found.)

After several dead ends, Cheri found the clue that brought her to the camera's owner. He was a Nike employee from Portland, Oregon. He picked up the camera on his way through Bismarck a couple Sundays ago.

Cheri Wenzel, full-time account analyst, part-time CSI.
