1:30
right sure, missus Older? What made you think I might not be well?
1:36
Just you having left the living room being in your own room like this?
1:38
Nothing wrong, Missus Alder. I'm fine. I'm sorry. Er Montanti
1:42
took so long with his k handling demonstration. I hope you weren't bored,
1:47
not in the least. He's very good. But you did leave. That
1:51
isn't necessarily a sign of boredom, is it, Missus Alder You left before
1:55
I did? Yes? Of course the hostess has to keep busy, you
2:00
know. Sure. And like I said, I wasn't bored. I only
2:04
left because I wanted a little air. I went out on the patio for
2:07
it. Wonderful spot, Missus Older. You can see everything, the harbor,
2:12
the slope down from the house, even anyone who might be on it.
2:15
I want to see you, mister Dollar, talk to you. That
2:19
figure is where your car half an hour tonight and every weekday night. Bob

Fabulous freelance insurance Investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar, from Special Investigator Johnny
2:53
Dollar, location in Caracas, Venezuela to the home office Worldwide Mutual Insurance Company,
2:58
Hartford, Connecticut, The Alder Matter expense account continued, Sometimes it takes
3:09
only a few well chosen words to start the moutain coming to muhammt. And
3:14
it looked like I had picked the right ones. With Constance Alder. Whatever
3:17
she had to say, I wanted to hear it because it was a sinch.
3:21
Nobody else in this rat race was giving away any information. Yeah,
3:23
I wanted very much to hear what missus Alder had to say. I had
3:28
it downstairs right away because I have a fetish about being early, but my
3:31
timing was bad. Hey, Dollar, you got a minute? Well I
3:36
can hardly say no to my host, mister Alder, I want in the
3:38
den. Anything the matter. There's cuts on your face. What happened your
3:49
daughter's boyfriend, Paul kin King? Yeah, he's got the idea. You
3:53
hired me to bust up their little romance. He didn't like it, that
3:55
idiot. Is that all you've got to say, mister older? Huh?
4:00
Because if it is, let me tell you how I feel about it where
4:03
I stand. You look, I know you're the insured, but I just
4:08
about had it with you. I don't have to take that kind of talk.
4:10
I think you do. You asked me to keep you alive, but
4:13
you won't lift a finger to help. Every time I ask you a question,
4:15
you look the other way. Do an imitation of a clam? What
4:18
am I supposed to be a mind? Reader. All I want you to
4:23
do is protect Oh come on, come on, Alder, you're smarter than
4:27
that. Protect you from what you've almost been tagged out once. You must
4:30
have an idea? Who made that try? And why? I have no
4:34
idea just like that? Huh mister dollar, Mister Alder, don't you see
4:42
that by not opening up, you're making a clay pigeon out of yourself.
4:45
I can tell you nothing. You know that I'd be justified and suggesting my
4:51
company cancel the policy and you'll have to suit yourself about that. Excuse me
4:56
just a minute. What did you tell your family and guests about me?
5:00
Who am I supposed to be? An old friend from up in the States.
5:02
Uh? Huh, you realize something, old friend. That's the first
5:08
question I ever asked that you had an answer for. It's the first one
5:12
I considered you. How to write this, mister Alder? Yes, whose
5:18
side are you on? Yours are the person who's trying to kid you oil
5:30
rich Billy Alder, business mind par excellence, super salesman deluxe, the man
5:35
who could sell or talk you into anything, or could he say one word
5:40
that might keep another bullet from coming his way? It shouldn't look like it.
5:44
I left the den, was just starting out to my car to meet
5:46
missus Alder. I must have been real anxious for our chat, because I
5:48
suddenly realized I forgot my car keys. I hurried back upstairs and at the
5:53
top almost bowled over a woman who was about to come down. Oh,
5:57
I'm so sorry, my fault. That's all right, No, no,
6:00
I should have looked where I was going here. Are you hurt me?
6:02
Sectly? All right? Excuse me? Please? Sure was a hard house
6:10
to make acquaintances, even when they were old and grab and stern. Looking
6:14
well. I went to my room, got my car keys and my wallet,
6:16
which lay alongside them. The position of the wallet was interesting. I
6:21
shut the door, headed once more for my car. The lady of the
6:25
house was waiting. We took off. I know who you are, mister
6:31
Donner. While you're here, I'm sure you do. I was just back
6:35
in my room. What I'll give you a tip. Never search a pros
6:40
room. He always puts an article down in a certain position and memorizes it
6:43
automatically. A search you can never replace it, exactly the same way with
6:47
me. It's wallets. I did not go into your room. Oh the
6:51
name A guess for me? What are you have? Fifty kind of lady,
6:55
kind of faded, severe looking. Why, I'm just curious. Col
7:00
a very old friend from the States, mind telling me where her room is
7:04
right next to yours? Why? Well, I just ran into her as
7:08
she was coming downstairs. She looked a little Call it worry. That's ridiculous.
7:12
She'd have no more reason to search your room than I would. Sure,
7:15
let's forget it. A little while ago I saw you searching out on
7:18
the slope, and you know I saw you. Now what were you looking
7:23
for? An empty cartridge? You think I fired that shot at my husband?
7:27
Someone did, And there are easier places to go for a stroll and
7:30
on that slope. I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. I
7:35
just wanted to see if I could find some trace of whoever had done it.
7:41
A shell from a gun, Well, that's interesting, to say the
7:44
least. I don't like your tone, mister Dalla. I don't blame you
7:47
because you just made a booboo. Only an automatic ejects as shell a revolver
7:53
doesn't. In other words, you knew what kind of gun was used.
7:58
Uncomfortable, missus Alder why don't you go home like to live dangerously? Missus
8:03
unis slapping the driver of a moving car. Pretty foolish, isn't it.
8:07
I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. All right, tell me something? How
8:11
did you know what I was really here for? My husband? I made
8:16
him tell me, well, congratulations. I can't get him to tell me
8:20
the time of day, and he knows whose side I'm on. We rode
8:28
back to the house without exchanging another word, and one thing was obvious.
8:33
The Sheikh missus Alder had apologized all right, but the anger I'd stirred up
8:35
could have powered a fair sized city for a week. When we reached the
8:39
house, she simply got out, headed forward, as though I were a
8:43
process server she wanted to get away from. I went to my room,
8:46
trying not to look like a process server, to figure what my next step
8:48
would be. I was suddenly very grateful to whoever had chosen my room because
8:54
of two things, the excellent view of the Alder patio and what was happening
8:58
on it. Her and Doris Cole were having a discussion, with missus Alder
9:03
doing all the talking. Even from this distance, I could see the anger
9:07
on both their faces. Then, after a few minutes, both women went
9:09
into the house. Five minutes later, I was still wishing I could have
9:13
heard the words, woll miss Cole, won't you come in? Well,
9:22
I only stopped for a moment. Glad you did. I just wanted to
9:26
apologize for my behavior when we ran into each other on the stairs a little
9:30
while ago. Oh nonsense, it was my phone. No, no,
9:33
I meant well, I was so brusque and well, I just don't know
9:37
what I could have been thinking of. Oh, you were nothing of the
9:39
kind. Don't worry about it. You're very nice about it, very nice.
9:43
Well, excuse me now, won't you? Oh sure thing was called
9:46
thanks for taking the trouble? Yes, yes, I watched her as she
9:54
hurried down the hall, an awkward woman who left you with one strong impression
10:00
that she had little feel for the social graces. The impression was emphasized about
10:05
two minutes later by a second visitor, one who knew all about the social
10:07
graces, Constance Alder all smiles and charmed. I'll bet you thought we ran
10:13
out of food, mister dollar. I was kind of wondering, blame El
10:16
Montante. Does he eat everything in the house? Oh, not quite.
10:20
He just refuses to allow dinner to be served, insists that tonight he's the
10:24
host, that it's his evening. Oh what does that mean? Dinner in
10:26
town, the highlight matches, and nightclubbing afterward. He simply won't be refused.
10:31
Insists that everyone in the house be his guest. Sound attractive, Well,
10:33
it would be pretty hard to say no to an offer like that.
10:37
Good don't belong. Everyone's dressing like mad should be quite an evening it was.
10:46
Montante was acknowledged to be a great metador. He had just as much
10:50
class outside the arena. He ordered at dinner and it was gourmet time.
10:54
He placed our bets. At the highlight matches, nothing but what it is,
10:56
and at the nightclub nothing but champagne. For a group of people living
11:01
in a house loaded with tension, it was a ball and a lot of
11:03
it was because of the Matador's quiet, easy manner. He was a man
11:07
who knew how things should be done and did them. It was pretty tough
11:11
not to like him. Constance Older seemed to feel the same way, her
11:15
eyes always on him. But the Matador himself was never once on a line,
11:18
never said or did anything that could possibly offend Billy alder and for a
11:22
busy host. He was observant. I found that out while the others were
11:26
dancing. Perhaps I can answer the questions, do I haven't asked one,
11:31
Signor Montante. I mean words, No, but it's not difficult to interpret.
11:37
You watch missus older than me. Any question is in your lives.
11:41
No, you're a pretty sharp fellow, Senor Matadora and a gentleman. Signor.
11:48
I do not pursue other man's wives. The question is answered partly what
11:54
happens when you're the pursuit. I see Senor Dollar women with money, but
12:01
without great beauty. They try to compensate each in her own way. Hercy
12:07
is not unusual acquisition the company and attendance of a man who is presentable admired.
12:16
I am not known in the arena, so for the moment it is
12:20
my company. Tomorrow a better known companion, if one should appear as simple
12:26
as that his san No Signor and little embarrassing thanks, And I'm the one
12:35
who was embarrassed. I thought your eye was on the all their fortune.
12:41
Senor. You know what I received for a Sunday afternoon in any Latin American
12:46
country ten thousand dollars sometimes more your question is answered, senor well, not
12:56
quite. Why does the fellow take profile lessons? Like I said, the
13:03
evening was pleasant, but it was still a job. Watching Doris Cole,
13:07
now awkwardly dancing with Billy Alder, I kept thinking of a argument with missus
13:11
Alder her frittiveness. I felt sure she'd been the one who'd searched my room,
13:15
and there would never be a better chance to return the compliment. So
13:18
I developed a sudden killing headache, and over the protests of the others,
13:20
had the ned and grabbed a cab for the older house in Aguiara. In
13:26
this Cole's room, I did a hurried but theorist search and came up with
13:28
two things that proved really interesting. A passport with Doris Cole's picture, but
13:33
made out to one Dora Jansen, and an unsigned letter postmark New York,
13:39
and a quick scrawl had said simply that the Caribbean Star would arrived in Laguiera
13:43
on the seventeenth. I'm sorry about your headache, mister Dalla, but there
13:48
is no aspirin in my room. Johnny Dollar Dollar, there's older here.
14:11
I must be something the matter with the house phone, I thought. I
14:13
rang a different room. Doris calls from mister Waller. Well, yes,
14:20
that's what you got. Uh see here at Dollar, you're not questioning that
14:22
woman. We were simply discussing two headaches and the value of answering. I
14:26
want to speak to her. I just wanted to be sure everything was all
14:30
right, both of you running out of the nightclub with headaches like that.
14:33
Oh, everything's fine. I'd like to speak to you, though. Sorry
14:35
it's late. I have a long day tomorrow. I'm afraid it's important tonight.
14:43
Are you thinking of arresting me, mister Dollar, I'm not a police
14:46
room, as call you rack black one answering my phone, sneaking into my
14:48
room while I'm gone, That even's the score. Then you had a quick
14:52
look through mine earlier in the day, mister, that's what were you looking
14:54
for? Miss Cole. From Special Investigator Johnny Dower location in Caracas, Venezuela
15:07
to the home office Worldwide Mutual Insurance Company, Hertford, Connecticut assignment the older
15:13
matter expense account continued Back in my own room. After saying good night to
15:20
a sullen Doris Coal, I didn't feel the slightest qualms about having invaded her
15:24
room and lying about the reason for it. Why should I? The people
15:28
in the older house didn't seem too concerned with the truth. In fact,
15:31
the whole cayse seemed to be a question of why or saying nothing. Consider
15:37
Billy Older had been shot at indicating he had a good reason to change beneficiaries
15:41
five times in a month, and still he was the original say nothing,
15:45
fella, keep me lye was all I could get out of him. His
15:48
wife had lied, his daughter had lied, and Doris Cole, an old
15:52
friend of the family, had just proved to be a walking lie. The
15:54
passport I found in her room header photograph, all right, but it said
15:58
she was Laurah Jansen. An unsigned letter in the same drawer had stated simply
16:03
that the Caribbean Star would doc tomorrow. I got into bed and a nod
16:07
thought hit me. If the Caribbean Star didn't doc, would the steamship company
16:12
have joined the liars club? Too? Expense a count out of seven ten
16:18
cents. One newspaper bought on the Lagiera docks early next morning. My Spanish
16:23
is pretty nothing, but I could read the important thing that the Caribbean Star
16:26
was due at noon? What time to kill? I drove into Billy Owler's
16:30
office in Caracas. He hit the scening when I told him about Doris Cole's
16:33
passport. I was suddenly glad I'd mentioned nothing about the letter Dollar. How
16:40
dare you search the room of a guest in my house? How dare you
16:42
was returning a courtesy? What mine was searched thoroughly? That still hasn't any
16:48
reason for your behavior? Oh one way E thinks, mister wrong. I've
16:49
told you repeatedly, Dollar, there's only one reason I want you here.
16:53
I know, keep you alive. But how what handcuffs on? I suppose
16:57
I told you to find some oil and refuse to let you dig any holes
17:00
in the ground, you'd begin to smell a rat? What are you talking
17:04
about? Just about everything in this look? I have a very busy Who
17:07
is Dora Jansen? Mister Alder? And why does she call herself Dora's call?
17:11
You're making too much of nothing, Dollar. It isn't a crime to
17:15
use another name. That depends on the reason, doesn't it. She's no
17:19
friend, O Dollar? I want you tired of that tune For a man
17:23
who's afraid for his life. You've got more old friends than anyone I ever
17:26
knew. Also, I haven't noticed anything particularly friendly between you. She's not
17:32
a well woman. Dollar. I don't want you bother you. Don't want
17:36
me bothering anyone exactly, not even the one who fired that shot at you.
17:38
So I can't help getting an impression that you have a pretty good idea
17:41
of who it might have been. I told you I was busy, Dollar,
17:45
Yeah, but it's what you haven't told me. I keep thinking about
17:52
Dollar. Did did you find anything else in that room beside the passport?
17:59
Whalder? What's happened to your sense of ethics? There was still plenty of
18:06
time before the Caribbean Star would be docking, and Billy Alder's reaction had dictated
18:08
my next move. The cable office and not Yara suddenly seemed like a very
18:12
important place to visit. There were too many silent miles in Caracas, and
18:17
I needed one that had something to say. Hopefully, miss they can take
18:26
this now, see Senor, how do you like this to go? Don't
18:29
spare the horses? Okay? Uh cable rush? Oh see Victor Kelly World.
18:36
Yeah no, my lousy handwriting here? So Victor Kelly Worldwide Mutual,
18:41
Hartford, Connecticut, USA, see want all possible information. Dora Jansen aka
18:48
Doris cole Us, passport one nine B six seven nine four to three dash
18:53
one one signed dollar and your address for the answer, I'll pick it up
18:57
here, and lady, please don't dispare the horses. It was still early
19:07
when I reached the waterfront where the Caribbean Star would soon be docking. There
19:11
wasn't much point in watching the incoming passengers. I didn't even know who I
19:15
was looking for, so I found a spot at the pier entrance where I
19:18
could concentrate on those meeting the passengers. Here I made a grudging concession to
19:23
all movie detectives Item seven, another ten cents, another newspaper to hide behind.
19:29
And you know something, It works fine, Doris cole Or. According
19:34
to that passport, Dora Jansen was nervous, excited, and there was no
19:38
trouble to stay close behind her. She met a passenger, a short,
19:41
nondescript man in his late fifties. When they jumped into a cab and hurried
19:45
away from the pier, they were closely followed by a man clutching an unread
19:48
newspaper. Me The trip was a short one, about six or seven blocks
19:56
away, the cab in front pulled up at a cheap hotel on the waterfront.
20:00
I circled the block once, got rid of my cab, and wandered
20:02
into the dismal lobby. The fan sleepy clerk made a concession. He opened
20:06
one eye. See you look for something? Yeah, that gentleman who just
20:11
came in. I had an appointment with him. Oh don it. I
20:15
must have left the slip of paper with his name on it my hotel.
20:18
I can't find it. You know, the gentleman who just went up to
20:22
room room. Yeah, you want me to say the number? Now?
20:27
Can you think I ever been to a movie? Oh? No, really,
20:30
you can save me a lot of embarrassments. You've got it right there
20:32
on the register. Gee, might if I have a look? I mind
20:37
block? Friend? When was the last time you got anything for free?
20:41
Friend? Oh? Why didn't say so? I was trying not to a
20:44
friend. Here here, let me see you play black jacks and you know
20:48
how you call it? Do anyone? Yeah? Why like they say?
20:53
Hit me again? Oh you're rubbing it in. She you want to do
20:57
business? Or no? And I'm nine ten bucks market schmeer schmooz or just
21:04
playing drafts. He pointed an oversize forefinger at a name on the lie.
21:08
You lost interest in me. He went back to sleep. Arthur Singer had
21:11
said romtes. I went up the stairway. A few seconds later, I
21:17
moved as quietly as I could down the Grammy second four hallway, stopped at
21:19
the door at number eight. At first I heard nothing, Then after a
21:23
long minute, the voices began angrily, as though resuming an old argument.
21:26
I don't know, let me handle it. No, he does. You
21:32
wanted all to go for nothing? Wh listened to me. I know what
21:33
I'm doing. Five minutes later I was back in the cable office getting a
21:45
second message off to Vic, Kelly and Hydrid. It was a request for
21:48
anything he could possibly dig up on Arthur's singer. I didn't hope for too
21:52
much because it would probably turn out to be a a alias, but it
21:55
was an angle I couldn't afford to overlook. You knocked back for answer,
21:59
So oh no, I just want you to get this one off, same
22:02
fella and same way. Not spare the horses. That's it, thanks,
22:07
Senor. I want to ask you something. Your business partner did I do
22:12
something to displease him? He seems so angry. Who seems so what?
22:17
Well? He was so nice at first, but after he read the message.
22:22
First of all, I have no business partner. Oh, then I
22:25
make terrible mistakes. Just tell me what happened. Well, this man he
22:30
come in less than a minute after you leave, was very nice, said
22:34
he was your business partner. That he just leave you. You were worried
22:37
because you forgot whether you say something in the message you just said, then
22:41
you ask him to check it for you. He seemed to know what he
22:45
was talking. Then that is when he got so angry. He just put
22:51
it down and leave. What did he look like a little less told than
22:53
you? And you have gray hair, eye glasses, see glass, see
22:57
Senor Razio. You know, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone really does.
23:02
I am so sorry for my mistake, Singer. Oh forget, it wasn't
23:06
your fault. Just send that second message about the answers. Send her to
23:10
me at William Alder's house as soon as you get him. Maybe we'll read
23:14
him together. Sure, Billy Older was my new business point. There Older,
23:22
the original close mouth fellow. But it looked like there was nothing wrong
23:25
with his brain or his eyesight. Then suddenly I didn't mind that he'd read
23:29
my message to Vic Killeen, because a frightened man usually reacts at the extreme
23:33
ends of the scale. He'd been at the let's do nothing in Maybe he'd
23:37
now go the other way. There was one more step I could make in
23:41
the waterfront, so I made it. My credentials presented at the steamship officers
23:44
got me a look at the passenger list at the Caribbean Star. The name
23:47
Arthur Singer wasn't on it. I started down the small waterfront street to where
23:51
my car was parked. My mind was full of Billy Alder and the pieces
23:53
of this crazy puzzle, tugging one way, pulling another, trying to make
23:59
sense out of it. Somehow you some sort of slide rule where logie could
24:02
be a solid base. No matter how I twisted it, and I knew
24:04
one thing, it just wouldn't work. I didn't have enough yet to make
24:08
it work. I was just reaching for the door handle when I saw his
24:11
reflection in the car window, the man who sneaked up behind me, blackjack
24:15
raised high in the air. The black jack was just insurance he was tough
24:18
enough an out. I finally worked up to the side of the car,
24:22
managed a hand nouse and let the car door workers my black check. Five
24:30
seconds later an officer came rushing up, and five minutes later I sat in
24:33
the office of hefe Velesquez, Chief of Police. You're feeling on me,
24:38
Yeah, yeah, sure. Why did you get out of that blackjack artist?
24:41
Just what I expected? Still won't say who hired him. H You
24:45
have to understand this kind of fellow, amego I do, huh what I
24:48
mean? He's us seeing a pickan, you know, sheep houlding master see
24:52
see for extra two boulevard maybe three. He would black Jackie's mother. He
24:57
claims he does not know who hired him, that he used to get his
25:00
money in a letter when I was pats. I say he's lying, of
25:06
course, but he will stick to the story because he knows he will got
25:07
the same sentence whether he tells or he does not. A cheap hood won't
25:11
usually cover for somebody else. This gun does A may go Otherwise he would
25:15
never be hired again. I'd I'd give a line for a few minutes alone
25:19
with him. Sorry if I need to, but I like my job.
25:22
Just wishful thinking, not hard to understand. Well, yeah, lady,
25:27
not getting anywhere sitting here? You sure you haven't got business somewhere else.
25:33
I got an awfully big end to talk to that thug. You know I
25:36
got a well get it? I may. It's like I say, if
25:38
you ask him on I wonder what is the day? He must tell you
25:41
Tuesday? You could beat him today. He will still say Tuesday is the
25:45
weather thing a favor? If I can suppose I don't prefer charges, would
25:49
you put a tail on him when he leaves? Johnny? Look, I
25:52
know it's a million, the one against the hood doing a rough up without
25:55
the money in hand. But if he hasn't collected to may go, like
25:57
you say, a million to what I know, I'm grabbing at straws.
26:00
But just in case, if hey come on, huh, okay, hey,
26:04
where do you go? It's right to the cable office. Yeah.
26:08
And if a man in Hartford has nothing to say, I've got a permanent
26:11
seat behind the eight balls. Now here's our start to tell you about the
26:30
final episode of this week's story Tomorrow. A puzzle never fits itself together.
26:34
You've got a snoop, pry and juggle the pieces, and sometimes people get
26:38
killed. That way join us, won't you? Yours Truly Johnny Dubbles.
27:00
Truly Johnny Dollar is starrying. Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood. Written by
27:04
Tony Barrett. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to
27:08
join us tomorrow night, same time and station for the next exciting episode of
27:14
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking, welcome back. Well, this
28:15
is just so far a very solid mystery story, and we've got so much
28:21
out there, quite a few bits of red herring, and they've only got
28:26
fifteen minutes to sort it out on Friday, so I'll be eager to find
28:30
out how they did it. All right. Well on the listener comments and
28:33
feedback, William emails to say, regarding the open Town matter, it sounds
28:41
like it was based on an earlier Johnny Dollar story, but I can't figure
28:45
it out. Well, thanks so much, and I should have mentioned this.
28:48
I've become used to most of these programs not being based on previous shows.
28:56
In the second half of the Johnny Dollar serials, this one was based
29:00
on an episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. The Dan frank Maner original air
29:06
at eight May fourth, nineteen fifty four and that was episode zero eight four
29:11
to one, which would have been probably more than a year and a half
29:17
ago. And Daniel comments actually regarding episode eleven seven to three The Sea Legs
29:26
Matter Parts one and two says, I know the Open Town Matter is over
29:30
and the program has moved on to The Sea Legs Matter. However, I
29:33
just wanted to say that The Open Town Matter is the first show I ever
29:36
heard. Ever since then, I've been trying to find as much as I
29:38
can on Johnny Daller. Needless to say, this app was an incredible,
29:42
fine, amazing job and I can't wait for The Sea Legs Part three and
29:48
four. Well, I hope you enjoyed the shows. And if you're curious
29:52
about learning more about Johnny Dollar, John c Abbott has written the Definitive book
29:57
on Johnny Doller. Well of it as one of the thank you gifts available
30:02
in our listener support campaign. But you can get it all the time through
30:07
Amazon and you just put search for yours truly Johnny Dollar and John c Abbott
30:12
and it'll come out. And they've got it in three volumes and it really
30:17
has a ton of information on Johnny and a lot of details about his cases.
30:22
Then we have a comment from Josh Great. I've had the Dragnet podcast
30:26
and I love Dragnet, and now I enjoy yours truly, Johnny Dollar,
30:32
Thanks Adam Josh from Hickory, North Carolina. Thank you so much, Josh.
30:37
All right, and one little brief public service notice, I guess when
30:42
you have technical issues with the show, be sure to either email me or
30:48
send a note on Facebook if it's just like an episode's missing. I've had
30:52
a few people post reviews on sites like iTunes, and that doesn't necessary work
31:00
the best because then it's there permanently, particularly if you don't change it after
31:04
it's fixed. You know, three or four years later, people see a
31:07
review that episode, you know, twelve thirty four, whatever, it wasn't
31:12
showing up. So the best way if you're having a technical issue with a
31:17
website with a show not showing up is just to go ahead and email me
31:22
at Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net. All right, Well, that
31:26
will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with Nick Carter,
31:29
and then join us on Friday as we wrap up this fascinating case of the
31:36
older matter. In the meantime, sender comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives
