• 9:23
  Speaker 4: of Los Angeles. In the space of little more than
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: ninety six hours, they robbed and slugged a dozen people
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: from one end of the city to the other. In
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: every case, the attacks were just about as brutal and
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: vicious as they were unprovoked. The amount of money taken
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: from each victim was negligible. The only apparent conclusion was
• 9:40

  Speaker 4: Rattlesnake bandit and his blond girlfriend, supposedly Lois Hagen continued
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: their campaign of hold ups and sluggings. They robbed two
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: liquor stores, an all night cafe, a cigar shop, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: two more service stations. In each case, the descriptions of
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: the suspects in their getaway car was the same.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Routine investigations got nowhere. Ben and I went to work checking.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Out the thin lead that we had on the girl
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: known as Lois Hagen.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: After three days of pounding the pavement and asking questions,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: we found two former waitresses at.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Drive in restaurants who had worked with Loas Hagen. Both
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: of them gave us addresses where they thought the Hagen
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: girl had lived at one time. One of them was
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: a phony.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: It was a vacant lie. The other panned out was
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: a rooming house out in the Boyle Heights district. The
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: manager told us that the Hagen girl lived there two
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: years before. She told us that, as far as she knew,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the girl's mother and Missus Ernestine Hagen, still ran a
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: small French laundry.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: On South Hobart Boulevard.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: We found Missus Hagen working in her shop. She was
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: a small, thin woman with gray hair.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: Yes, I have a daughter, Lois. What's the matter.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I'd like to talk to him, Miss Haggen. Do you
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: know I would locate her?
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: Probably sounds funny to you. I haven't seen my daughter
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: in two years.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Do you have any idea where she's living there?
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: No, she's not much of a daughter. We didn't get along,
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: as I say, two years ago, we had an argument.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: She left me, never wrote a letter. I just don't know.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: I think I hate She was living in Detroit for
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: a while. I guess she's back here now. One of
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: my lady friends, missus McCormick Solo, was shopping out in Hollywood.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: I was about a month ago.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: How old is your daughter?
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: She'll be twenty next month. She looks older than she
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: really is. Don't you excuse me? Please my flirt? I
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: am back here.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: I have a heating certainly, man, do.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: You have a copy of the comp has a picture
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: that through? Yeah?
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right here.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: I didn't realize it was getting so late. I have
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: this rush order to get ready by four o'clock. Officers,
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: If you want, you can come back here, can.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Talk while I get it out, all right, ma'am? Thank you.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: That's a chair there with you, like, oh, thank you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: Since I'm always so busy lately, I used to have
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: some fine help. It's not so easy to find anymore.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: Science seems so hot, right.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: I wonder if you'd mind looking at this picture man.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: This one here, m hmm, look something like those you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: looking for hers? Then she done something again?
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Well, we're not sure, ma'am. She's been in trouble before.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: I can't be more ashamed of her than I already am. Yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: she's been in trouble before. She was nothing but trouble.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: My only child. The father died when she was a baby.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: I guess she needed a father. I couldn't do anything
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: with her.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Your daughter ever in any serious trouble with the policeman,
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: Maybe she was. I didn't hear about it, and I
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: tried to understand, and we never got along. I don't know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: This makes me sick to.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Think about it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: How about her friends, missus Hagen, I mean here recent friends.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Do you haven't know any of them?
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: No, Lois never brought him home, and I knew they
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: were tramps. I heard the way the neighbors were talking,
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: trampy fellas, trampy girls, drinking, doing things. You know, she
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: didn't learn those things at home.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: What was lois last known address? Do you have any
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: idea at all? Place?
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: Some Royal Heights, the boarding house? Its last I heard Lois.
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: She never wrote a letter. That's another thing, Yes, ma'am.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: She could have had the best education any girl could want.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: I worked twelve years in the laundry here to give
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: it to her. I sent it to the convent. Even
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: the nuns couldn't do anything with her. She only sass
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: them back. She finally quit all together.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Can you think of anybody else you might know where
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: your daughter is? Maybe one of your relatives.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we don't have any relatives here. I have a
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: brother in Ohio. That's all. This lace blouse is an
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: awful lot of trouble.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Would you put out that plug? Start with?
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you have a picture of your daughter
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: that we could borrow. We'll see that it's returned to you.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah right, I've got lots of pictures of Lois. It's
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: a pretty girl, you know, looks quite a bit like
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: me when I was young.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am, Well, thanks very much for your time.
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: And the nice is at the hospital said at Lois
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: is born, beautiful child. Certainly strange, isn't it? And they're babies.
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: They all look so clean and so good, Yes, ma'am.
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: What happens to him?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Before we left missus Hagen, we got a photograph of
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: her daughter, Lois, and then we drove back to the office.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: We spent the rest of the afternoon showing the picture
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: to sell. All of the robbery victims, all of them
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: identified the Hagen girl as the bandit's accomplice. We got
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: out a supplementary broadcast that night. The hold up couple
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: failed to put in an appearance. The following night the same,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: not a sign of them. Still no sign of the
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: escape car either where they might be hiding out.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: We had no idea.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: The search went on, repeated checks that the Stats office
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: and the record bureau failed to turn up any new leads.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: We stayed on it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Four nights later, the still unidentified hold up man and
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Lois Hagen started in all over again. Two drug store
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: hold ups, two robberies of couples in parked cars.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: All of the victims were beaten senseless.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Monday, March nineteenth, eight am.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Sure all right, they turned up anything? Last night?
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Two more jobs, Both victims identified the Hagen girl as
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: the accomplice. Anything else, still using the same escape cars
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: about it? Yeah, they were no closer than we were
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: a week ago. I checked the hospital on the drug
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: as they now, how's he doing?
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, still unkindres.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: I'll get it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Homicide Friday, Yeah, Mike, where yeah right away? What if
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: you got thirty two are they're out on eighteenth and
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Hill the hold up car.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: They just spotted it eight twenty am.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Together with Cummings and McCready, we drove out to eighteenth
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: and Hill, where the officers in Unit thirty two are
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: had the hold up car staked out was parked in
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: the back of a large service station on Hill Street,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: near the corner of eighteenth. We talked with a manager
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: and he told us that a blonde girl answering Lois
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Hagen's description, had left the car there earlier that morning
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: just to have the distributor fixed in the battery rechards.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: She told him that she'd called for the car early
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: that night.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Because of the way that the service station was situated,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: it would have been impossible to stake out on the
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: blue coop without making it look obvious. We explained the
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: setup to the manager and made arrangements for Ben andight
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Opposes employees. That way we could keep a close watch
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: on the car until the suspects called for it. Cummings
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and McCready hold up in a coffee shop directly across
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the street. Two teams of men from rob recovered from
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: their vantage points, and I took up our posts the
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: supervisors of the station's ten minute car wash.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: They sure do a great business here. Huh.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned to the manager about keeping the area
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: clear around that car, didn't you.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so set up. We're not going to have an
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: excuse in the world if we miss those two.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah they show up.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: What are we supposed to do?
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: Now?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Pull these tickets off the cars as they move off
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: the wash line.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all just to slip the tickets in that
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: box over there, see mm hmm.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Must have run them a few dollars out installing all
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: this equipment.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Seems to be paying off, doesn't it. What time you
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: got now?
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: A few minutes past forward?
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Want to smoke?
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: No, I just put one out.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: One am Bend spotted a young blonde girl turned the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: corner on the hill and start up the street towards
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the service station. As she came closer, she looked to
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: the right and the left. She paused in front of
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: the station, looked on both sides of the street, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: then she turned completely around and walked on.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Past Lois Hagen. She's going right down to the corner.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I'll buy it. Yeah, I'll put in with you. How
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: about a tale?
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: But can't just let her walk.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Away from him in just a minute.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Take a look, she's turning around, coming back his way.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: He's coming in.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we better get back to our car. Looks like
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: it right.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: The young blonde entered the garage office, paid the repair bill,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: and drove off in the hold up car. Ben and
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I followed an eighty K. Cummings and McCready tailed us.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: The blue coop moved two blocks down Hill Street and
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: then turned into an apartment garage. We parked on the street,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: went in and got the manager out of bed. We
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: showed him Lois Hagen's picture. He told us that she
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: was registered alone in apartment sixteen. He failed to recognize
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the description of the hold up man. McCready and three
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: men from robbery covered the front and back exits. Cummings,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Ben and I climbed the stairs to the third floor,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: number sixteen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Do you want to ring it?
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah?

  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: Married two days?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, honeymoon's over Come on, lady.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: The story you have just heard was true, only the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: names were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: On August fifth, trial was held in Superior Court, Department
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: eighty seven, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: In a moment the results of that trial.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Now here's our star, Jack Webb, thank you.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Here's an invitation we just received from New York's famous
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Stork Club host Sherman Billingsley asked us to pass it
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: on to you Dragnet listeners who have television sets. It
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: reads cordially invites you to see The Stork Club on
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: television beginning this week, or Dragnet welcomes the Stork Club.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: It's a fine television show.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: The body of the dead hold up man was identified
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: as that of Frank Ralston. Killed Bride is accompliss lewis
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Hagen was tried and convicted on six counts of armed
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. She received sentences
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: as prescribed by law and is now serving her term
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: in the State Penitentiary for Women. You have just heard Dragnet,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: a series of authentic cases from official files. Technical advice
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: for Dragnet comes from the Office of Chief of Police W. H.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Parker.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: We the People is next on NBC.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back. A solid case with a brutal perpetrator and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: a good investigative process. However, it doesn't stand out as
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: much in the series because Dragnet did several cases with
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: similar crimes that people generally think of before this, such
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: as the Big Badge when you're thinking about robberies of
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: park cars. However, in this one is much more brutal
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and dangerous even than the figure in that episode. I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: really felt bad for the teacher who they questioned the hospital.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Without going over the top, they really showed how much
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: damage had been inflicted on that poor guy. Like in
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the Big Car, the criminals made a key mistake that's
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: never explained. They switched to just using one car, which
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: ultimately led the police to tracking them down again. We
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: could speculate that it's most likely because they locked that
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: particular car, and switching from vehicle to vehicle is a hassle,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and they might have encountered some that they didn't lock
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: as much as that one and just decided to stick
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: with one that worked for them. They just didn't understand
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the amount of advantage they were giving away. Likely this
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was a case of inexperienced criminals who just knew how
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to pick their spots. Their only real distinction other than
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that is being saved, and that doesn't require any skill
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: or experience. Now I should note that I've made an
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: announcement on the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio website
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: at Great Detectives dot net. On our website. For the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: past fifteen years plus since I started the podcast, nearly
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: every week I've posted an article, usually something original, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: occasionally I get really busy and I will repost an
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: article from the archives. And when you've been doing this
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: for as long as I have, there's a lot you
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: can choose from to go ahead, pull a shop and repost.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Last week was the last article I'll be posting in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that format. The reason for this is that, ultimately the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Internet has changed, in my opinion anyway. Search engines are broken,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: which is at the core of the problem, but it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: led to a whole lot less graic coming into the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: articles that I post. You used to get a lot
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: of traffic from Google for those articles, and that just
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: does not happen anymore. So essentially, I'm spending a bunch
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of time writing articles that nobody's reading, particularly compared to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the level of readership we were getting a few years ago,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: even back in twenty twenty one. At the same time,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I'm really impressed by the idea of having a newsletter
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: as a podcaster to connect with listeners on the topic
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you're writing about. So to me, it makes a lot
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: more sense to invest my time into something that people
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: are going to actually read and engage with. I'm still
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: working out details on the newsletter what its perimeters will be,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and I'll be publishing some additional thoughts on that next week.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But it will for now published bi monthly, with the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: first being released in May, and then we'll also have
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: issues in July, September, and November of this year. There
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: will be one or two feature articles or review and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I will actually be open to taking submission from others,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: but we're not publishing ten or twelve articles. We're going
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to have one or two. I already have themes picked
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: out for each of the four newsletters we'll do this year.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: In terms of what I'll write about, it'll be very
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: similar to the focus that I've had on the articles,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: so we'll be talking about vantage entertainment with an emphasis
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: on audio dramas and mysteries. Over the years, I've done
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: reviews on a lot of things and articles on many subjects.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: We've talked about graphic novels, movies, and even a bit
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of music, but I think the body of work is
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: really way to those two areas. Also be sharing just
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: those little random, fascinating tidbits that I find as I
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: go about and do my research, and some of you
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: may have found that if you followed me on Twitter,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: where I'll share something, but I know a lot of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: people aren't on Twitter, and there are just some really
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: neat things that I come across that would be of
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: interest to people who enjoy this podcast. Now, in terms
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of distribution, I prefer not to overcomplicate things for myself
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: or for listeners. I'm not going to start a separate
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: platform for the newsletter, so we're not going to do
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a substack or something like that to start out with.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: We will actually be publishing this to Patreon. Now, that
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to be a paid Patreon supporter.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Patreon has added the option of following the show on
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Patreon for free. Now. To be clear, if you're not
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: a paid Patreon supporter, there are benefits that you don't get,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: like the monthly paid supporter newsletter. Don't get the paid
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: supporter notifications or access to the extra programs. But there
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: are a lot of things that we post that are
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: publicly available, like the episodes of the Old Time Radio,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Snack Wagon and Video Theater, and this newsletter will be
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: one of those things that our free Patreon supporters get
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: access to. And we already have one hundred and thirty
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: six people who are signed up as free Patreon supporters
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: as of the time of this recording, and add the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: three hundred plus paid Patreon supporters, and I think that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: you've got a good base right there. So if you
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: are interested in the newsletter, and if you're not ready
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to support us on a paid basis, you can still
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: go to patreon dot com slash Radio Detectives and follow
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: us for free on Patreon. Again, you don't get all
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the benefits of being a paid Patreon supporter, but you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: do get the free public bi monthly newsletter. And it
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: occurs to me that I need to find some way
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to delineate this with a more official title. I'm still
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: working on that because that there is a newsletter that
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: is Patreon's only that goes out monthly, but you won't
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: get that, Okay, So I hope that's clear at least
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: for now, and we'll have more clarification coming up. Well,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and I want to go ahead and thank Amy. Amy's
• 34:39

  Speaker 1: Omnibus where.
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: I don't misunderstand me Dolla. She was a real sweet girl,
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: but there was something about her.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I hope you find her.
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: Well, maybe I don't.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: What are you talking about?
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: She had plans of her own, plans she never told
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: me about. Look, I was in practice three years when
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: she came to work for me, fresh out of high school.
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: It she still made me feel like a little boy
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: in knee pants. That smile of hers. You could take
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: two ways and the look that went with it. I'm
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: sure she's met a lot of men since she walked
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: out on me, and I'll bet all of them found
• 36:12
  Speaker 10: out the same thing.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: What's that that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: They've been taken?
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: You mean money?
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: Oh, it wasn't the watch or the necklace of the
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: loans every now and then, it was being taken worse,
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: you know, being used and knowing you're being used. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: don't quite get it, and I'll make it clear that sweet, fresh,
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: beautiful little girl was out to do everything and everybody
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: for all she could get.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: She's rotten, you know, just plain rotten.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
