  Speaker 9: On the side.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Sure, what's the story on him?
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: Here's the way we got it from Richmond's wife. He
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: was at home tonight. The whole family was sitting in
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: the back room looking at television. Richmond, his wife, two children,
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: and his father in law.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: About nine o'clock the doorbell rang. Richmond went to answer it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: He hasn't been seen since. Yeah, that's right. Missus Richmond
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: said she thought she heard a little loud talking at
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: the front door and didn't pay any attention to it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: Her husband didn't come back. She went to have a look.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: Front door was wide open, her husband was gone. No
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: explanation for it at all.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: One of the Richmond's neighbors were sitting by a front
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: wind at the time, and Missus Sandford, she said, she's
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: a mist Richmond come down the front steps about that time,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: one man on either side of him. He got the
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: idea Richmond didn't want to go with him. Is there
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: any description on the two men, it's incomplete. The neighbors said.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: She wasn't sure, but it looked at her like the
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: two men pushed Richmond in a dark colored sedan and
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: drove off.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Not much description on the car either, Joe, Oh, where's
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: that leave us?
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: We're not positive there's anything wrong yet, there's a possibility
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: there's nothing more than a misunderstanding.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: How do you figure it? We got a couple of
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: men out at the Richmond's house.
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: The wife told him that mister Richmond had a business
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: appointment at ten o'clock tonight.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: She didn't know where with whom would have been with
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: those two men.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Didn't sound quite right though, I mean walking out without
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: even telling his wife.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: Something else to consider. Wife said that when Richmond went
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: to answer the front door, he was in his shirt sleeves,
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: you know. When the neighbors saw him come down the
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: stairs with the two men. She said he had his
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: coat on. Those two guys were.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Gonna grab him off. They wouldn't wait for him to
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: get his coat. Yeah, how's this stand out?
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: He got out of broadcast on a description of the
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: two men in the car. Not an awful lot to
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: go on. No license number.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Anybody in particular who might have had it in for Richmond.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Is there anything like that? No, not that we know
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: of so far. Dressed pretty well, obviously had money, wore
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: quite a bit of.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Jewelry, well, what have you got lined up for?
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: I've got Barrett and Tommy Bryant standing by at the
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: Richmond's house now still checking her out with Richmond's friends,
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: some of his business associates.
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: Nothing so far.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Excuse me sure on a side Loman? Yeah, Tom.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: That when yeah, right away, you know what to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Keep in touch, right and it takes it out of
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: the guessing stage. That was Brian out at the Richmond house.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Missus Richmond just got a phone call a few minutes ago. Yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: Man's voice. He told her they were holding her husband. Well,
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: what's her pitch? She wants them back alive. It'll cost
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: twenty thousand dollars.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: As in all cases involving abduction to extort ransom, the
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: investigating police officers faced immediately with a dozen problems, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: first and foremost is the safe return of the victim.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: When that's accomplished and the danger of death or bodily
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: harm to the victim is removed, the officers then have
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: the freedom to openly hunt down the abductor, but until
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: the time the victim is safely returned, apprehending the criminal
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: suspects remains a secondary consideration. Ten five pm, together with
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Captain Lorman, Ben and I left the office and drove
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: out to the Richmond's home out in North Hollywood, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: scene of the abduction. We parked our car several blocks
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: away and entered the house from a back street. It
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: was a large, sprawling, ranch style home, richly landscaped. We
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: went inside and checked with the two men from homicide
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: on duty, Barrett and Bryan. They told us that there'd
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: been no more phone calls, anonymous or otherwise. They also
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: told us that so far the victim's wife, Adele Richmond,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: had been hostile and uncooperative. The abductors had warned her
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: on the telephone about calling in the police. Now she
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: was all for paying the twenty thousand dollars ransom and
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: handling the case without the police. While Ben, Tommy Bryant,
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: and Barrett re checked the neighborhood for other possible witnesses
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: to the abduction, Captain Lormon and I went inside and
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: met the victim's wife and the victim's father in law,
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Red Wellman. The wife was an attractive brunette in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: early thirties.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: I don't you understand, I just don't want the policemen here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: They can be watching the house right now. They'll kill
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: tonything or you're here.
• 7:14
  Speaker 11: I know there's no use getting upset like this. It
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: hasn't been doing any good.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: Your father's right, ma'am. I know it's hard on you,
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: but getting all worked up isn't going to help much.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: I wish i'd never called you in the first place.
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: I can handle us. I'll pay them the money. I'll
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: pay them anything, as long as they bring my husband
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: back safe.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am, that's possible. What makes you think you can
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: trust those men?
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: How do you know you'll get your husband back after
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: you pay the twenty thousand.
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: That's what they told me. I talked to them on
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: the phone. That's what they promised me.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Well they've promised other people too, ma'am. You give them
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: twenty thousand, they'll want forty. Give them just one opening.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: You're going to run it into the ground. They'll take
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: everything they can get, and you still and have your
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: husband back.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: Well, there's no other way. I have to take the chance.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: I have to. There is another way, missus Richmond. That's
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: why we're here.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: What if it gets in the papers publicity, those men
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: are bound to hear about it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: There won't be a line in the newspapers. I promise
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: you that as far as we're concerning the own, many
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: will know about it. It'll be the officers working the case.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: We'll do everything we can, ma'am, but we're gonna have
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: to have your cooperation.
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: I don't know. If anything happens to Tom, I've got
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: to sit down. I can't even think. I'm so worried.
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: That's it, honey, Here, you sit here. I'll get you
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: some coffee, good hot cup coffee.
• 8:15
  Speaker 10: Would you see how the children are dead, see if
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: they're covered.
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, sure, honey, you just rest. You'd care for some coffee? Office?
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: Thank you?
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: All right?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: How about that phone call that you got, miss Richmond.
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: They told me twenty thousand dollars, they get it, they'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: let Tony go.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: What else did they tell you?
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: That's all they had Tony, And then if I wanted
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: to see the gun alive, we'd have to pay twenty
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: thousand dollars.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: What about the arrangements for delivering the money. Did you
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: discuss that at all?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: No?
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: All he said was get twenty thousand dollars in small bills.
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: Said that too. He said he'd contact me later about
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: delivering the money. Officer I can't get that much money
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: together tonight.
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: I don't think you'll have to, ma'am. I'm pretty sure
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: the abductors know that too.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: How about the voice on the phone, Miss Richmond, is
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: there any chances you might recognized it?
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: No, I haven't any idea who it was.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Or did he give you any hint at all as
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: to about how much time it should be allowed to
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: get the money together.
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: He said he'd call later on. I got the idea
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: he meant later on tonight. He told me to have
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: more instructions for me.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Then, I'd like to ask you once more, missus Richmond.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: Can you think of anyone who might try something like
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: this and your husband? Maybe somebody who needed money he
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: will carry the grudge against.
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: Mister Richard, No one at all. Tony always got along
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: very well in business. He works hard, He works awfully hard.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry. I I can't help thinking I'd the whole
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: thing'd be better all around if I just paid the
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: money and make him let my husband go.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: No, No, it's just the point man. Like we said,
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: how do you know they're gonna let him go if
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: they can make twenty thousand dollars overnight? It's a good
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: bet they're not gonna let him go that easy. You
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: can't make those kind of deals with them. They'll believe us.
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: What can I do with anything?
• 9:55
  Speaker 11: I'm not your coffee down, good hot coffee. I looked
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: in on the children that were covered, and now you
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: trust some of his coffee?
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: Now, thank you, Dad. Well, what are we going to do? Officers?
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: We can't just sit here and wait.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: There's a few things I'd like to brief you on.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: The start with, Yes, it'll be a couple of our
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: men stationed here at all times. Another thing, do you
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: have more than one telephone in the house.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: Yes, we do.
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: There's one here in the den, one in the kitchen.
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: Then we have a plug in extension for the living room.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: Fine, the next time the phone rings you answer at
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: missus Richmond, one of us will be listening in on
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: the extension.
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: One in the kitchen. That'd be closest.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: Now, if it's one of your husband's abductors calling you,
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: tell them it's going to take your time to raise
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: the money.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Tell him at least two days.
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: I suppose they insist, but they say they want it sooner.
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: They could kill my husband tonight.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Well they could, ma'am. But I don't think they will.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: It's a pretty good bet that they've planned on some waiting.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Most people don't keep twenty thousand dollars around the house,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: and they know as well as you do the banks
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: don't open till ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Something else, missus Richmond.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: Make it clear to them that you won't have any
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: direct hand in the transaction paying the ransom. Tell them
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: you're too sick, you're too upset, and that your brother
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: will take.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Care of everything.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: You mean, one of your officers, Yeah, ma'am, Sergeant Friday
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: here can take care of that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: In well, they believe me. Don't you think they'll get suspicious?
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: Well maybe, but you have to remember, ma'am, suspicious or not,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: they're only interested in getting the money and then getting away.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Our first problem is to get your husband home safe.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: When we've got that done, we can worry about the abductors.
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: I see all right off here, old are all I
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: can here?
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Fine, missus Richmond, I think you'll find it's the best way. Joe,
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: you and Romero be on duty here for the night.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: You'll monitor all the incoming calls. We'll try and get
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: a trace around him. If you can keep the guy
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: talking on the line long enough, I'll make arrangements for
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: another phone line in here in the use of the
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: neighbors phone next door.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Okay, fine, do you know if the people next door
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: are home now? Sir?
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir, I think the name's Thompson. Almost positive their home?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, fine, all.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Right, missus Richmond, you want to take that, don't pick
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: it up till I tell you Joe over here at
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: this extension. Right, well, if you pick up your receivers
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: at the same time, you ready, Joe, right?
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: This is Richmond now, Hello Richmond. Yes, that's a shame.

  Speaker 6: Fives, tens, twenties, said more instructions coming, threatened to kill
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: Richmond if we moved.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: In m how any sound like he meant it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Twelve thirty five am, Captain Larrmon and I remained with
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: the phone. The family doctor arrived, gave missus Richmond a sedative,
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: and she lay down for a rest in her room. Barrett, Tom,
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Bryan and Ben came back to the house just before
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: one am. They had a few more details on the
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: description of the car used by the abductors, which they'd
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: gotten from residence in the neighborhood. The information was relayed
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: to communications and the supplementary broadcast and an APB were
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: gotten out. Ben and I stood watch at the house
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: for the rest of the night, but there were no
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: more calls. In the early morning, stakeouts were set up
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: at the victim's place of business and also at the
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: banks where he maintained his accounts and safety deposit boxes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: That night, Ben and I still were at the Richmond place,
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: standing by at the phone. There'd been no contact from
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: the abductors during the day.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: We waited midnight, three am, six am, no word.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: Another day passed and then another still no contact, no
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: trace of mister Richmond or as abductors. Saturday, October thirteenth,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: hope for the victim began to fade. Ben and I
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: stayed on at the Richmond house.
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: Say could I get you off?
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: Said something?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Eat?

  Speaker 14: Oh well, there's no issue sitting up with a surf.

• 16:04
  Speaker 11: I guess I just got a feeling about it about Tony.
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: He's a fine young man. Things like this always happened
• 16:12
  Speaker 11: to the fine young man. You take me for instance.
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't make money the way Tony does, build a

  Speaker 11: And I don't think I follow you. I guess I
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: never wanted it, Sergeant, couldn't get interested in making money.
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: You break your back like Tony does. You work, and
• 16:30

  Speaker 5: Well, maybe you can tell me who you are, Tony Richmond.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: Where's my way?
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Richmond?
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: Where are you?
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Where are you?
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: I got away from the way out in the vallere
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: Dary range. Your su pervid you cop?
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Where can we find you?
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: About a mile telegraph road the middle of a dairy farm,
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: your cops. You drive out with the red light on
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: and ongo on.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: How soon can we meet?
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Half hour? Get out of your gun and stand right
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: in front of the headlights. I'll be watching. I want
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: to get a good luck at all?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Right? Half an hour?
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Something else? I got hold of a gun and if
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: you're not cops, I'll know what to do.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: You are listening to Dragnet authentic cases from official police files.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: After we got the call from the man who identified
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: himself as the victim of the abduction, Tony Richmond, we
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: put in a call for Captain Warman. We told him
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: about the phone call from the victim, his request for
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: us to pick him up, and also about the conditions.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: He stipulated that we follow. The Captain ordered three cruiser
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: cars and a car to pick up Ben and me
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and take us to the location specified in the phone conversation.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Two a m. With the red light turned on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: We pulled up at the approximate location indicated was a
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: lonely spot on a lonely road a little more than
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: a mile off the nearest highway.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: We waited. We didn't know what to expect.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: It could be that the phone call supposedly from Tony
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Richmond had actually been made by one of the abductors.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Could be that it was nothing more than a diversionary
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: action intended to distract our attention while the abductors carried
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: out their plans to obtain the ransom money from the
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: victim's wife and make good their escape.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: We kept waiting. Ben sounded the horn at frequent intervals.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Captain Lorman and myself stood up in front of the
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: car and the glare of the headlights. Ten minutes went by,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: fifteen minutes. Finally, a half a dozen yards down the road,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: we spotted a man climbing up the side of the
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: drainage ditch and onto the road. He walked slowly toward us,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: into the glare of the headlights. In his right hand
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: he held a gun.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: You can put the gun down, mister, go the police.
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: Show me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Here's our car, here's our identification. Here you are badge
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: ID card. Thank god, thank god, thank god.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: The first thing we did was to notify the victim's
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: wife and family that he'd been found and that he
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: was unharmed. Then we called the office and told them
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: what had happened. We offered to drive Richmond to his
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: home immediately, but he told us that he was all
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: right and insisted that he show us where the abductors had.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Held him captive.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: We got in the car and started driving north along
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: a dirt road that led off Sepulvida. On the way,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Richmond briefed us on what had happened. He said that
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: he'd been taken at gunpoint at the front door of
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: his home four nights before, forced into a car by
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: two men that he'd failed to recognize, and then driven
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: to an abandoned shack in a deserted area in the
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: San Fernando Valley. The two men had tied him hand
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: and foot, partially stripped him, gagged him, and placed him
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: under a floor of the shack, and left him there.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: One of the men returned each day to give him
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: something to eat. That night, Richmond told us that his
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: captor failed to retie his hands securely. When the man left,
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Richmond succeeded in freeing himself from the ropes, made his
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: way to a phone and called his house outside a
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: shock and exposure.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: He seemed to be all right. After pointing out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: The shack he'd been held captive in, and after we'd
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: checked through it, Richmond was taken home in one of
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: the cruiser cars. Ben and I remained on stakeout of
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: the shack.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Pred he died.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Can you see the shack all right from here?
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Just about?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Keep an eye field on the road. Huh yeah, all smokeka.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: We waited, nothing happened. Three am, three thirty no sign
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: of the suspects. Four thirty five am five twelve am.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Ben spotted the headlights of a car at least a
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: mile down the road. We watched them come toward us.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: When it got close enough, we saw it was a
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: dark colored late model Sedan. It fitted the description of
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: the abductor's car perfectly. It swung off the dirt road
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: and pulled to a stop near the shack. One man
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: got out. All right, let's go, all.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Right, mister police officers. Hold it right there down Joe
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: see him?
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: Ben?
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I dug behind his car.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: All right, throught your gun.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I'll give him back.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: You got some good cover, Joe.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Let's go, Come on, move in easy. There's my car
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: up from behind the car.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Hands behind your head, government, Joe, I'll shake him off
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: right all right? Hold it right there, okay, Joe Eastling,
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: all right, has behind you.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Sure like to play it safe, don't you.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: Handcuffs they work pretty good, mister, much better than rope.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: We called the office.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: A relief team came out to replace us on steakeout,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: and we took the suspect downtown to the interrogation room.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: He was checked through R and I and identified as
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Gerald Adams, a one time loser. Together with Barrett and Bryan,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: we questioned the suspect for three hours. He refused to
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: admit that he had any part in the abduction of
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Tony Richmond.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: We gave up for the time being, took.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Him to the main jail, where he was booked on
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: suspicion of kidnapping. A little after eleven am, Gerald adams
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: partner showed up out of the shack in the valley.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: He was taken into custody, was brought downtown, confronted with
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: the evidence against him, and he gave us a statement
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: admitting his guilt. Late that afternoon, we went back to
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: the main jail, signed out Adams for investigation, brought him
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: back to the interrogation room.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: I have a seat, Adams.
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: Okay, what is it this time?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Same as before? Adams? What do you say you're gonna
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: tell us about it? I told you my story this morning.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Mister you got it off, but maybe you'd like to know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: We picked up your partner and he gave us a
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: science statement. Here's a copy of it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Have a lot.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Donald black and white. If Pardner says you were in
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: it with him all the way, would say, Adam.
• 24:37
  Speaker 15: Doesn't mean anything to me. He probably forced it at him. Well,
• 24:39
  Speaker 15: that's not what he says. He blames the whole thing
• 24:41
  Speaker 15: on you.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Says you set up the deal, you gave the orders,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: you made the phone calls for the ransom money.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Says that's the way he's gonna tell it in court.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: He's gonna need a lot of proof, and gave it
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: to us.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: He showed us your apartment, a couple of ransom notes
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: you'd readen, showed us the typewriter you wrote him on,
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: showed us the clothes you wore the night you grabbed
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: mister Richmond.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: He's a liar, not according to Dark Crime reason.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: They checked over the clothes found particles of dirt and pollen,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: and the trouser cuffs they match up with samples we
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: took from that field out to the shack.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Well, it ain't true, None of it's true. You guy's
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: a liar. Well, there's a statement at him. It's all aired.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: You got any corrections in the story, Now is the
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: time to make them, Adam, There's only one thing I
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: want to know. Yeah, how did it happen? How'd you
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: get a line on us? Richmond got away from the shack.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: We staked out them until you came along.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Figure couldn't have gotten away.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: I had it all worked out.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: Your partner didn't.
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: I showed him just what to do, how to handle
• 25:35
  Speaker 15: a thing. I showed him where to hide. Richmond couldn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 15: have goofed up. I showed him the whole routine. It
• 25:39
  Speaker 15: was one thing you didn't show him. Yeah, how to
• 25:42
  Speaker 15: tie on that?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: The story you have just heard was true, only the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: names were changed to protect the innocent.

  Speaker 9: Stay tuned for Counterspy next over NBC.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back. Sometimes you have to work to solve the mystery.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it kind of solves itself, as the kidnapping plan
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: fell apart due to an incompetent accomplice and a resourceful victim.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I will admit to some ignorance about the origin of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: this title, whether it was a fan title or whether
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it was something official. If it's not a fan title,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: it does suggest the script may have come in behind schedule,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: leaving no time to think of an actual title. And
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: there's another episode with a similar title the big Almost
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: no script and no script would be a problem for
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a detective program, particularly Dragnet. One does it improv Dragnet.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But I think we may never appreciate how hard it
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: was for radio writers to turn out scripts week after
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: week on programs that didn't take breaks, and then to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: have those scripts be of as high quality as what
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: we enjoy on most of the programs. It's an incredible
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: amount of writing and rewriting, usually down to one or
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: two writers. All right, Well, listener comments and feedback. Now,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Harrison writes, I feel, and this is regarding the Big Setup.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I feel, if you're going to go through the trouble
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of staking out places to rob, then you should probably
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: skip the ones with living maids. But who am I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to critique criminals supposedly at the top of their profession.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I hear you, Harrison, and I would tend to think
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: so as well, though I do hate to tell anyone
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: their business, and I think it is fair to say,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: based on the number of burglaries that they pulled off,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: with very high value items being stolen, they were probably
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: at the top of their profession. But sometimes there are
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: holes in your processes, and sometimes you have success and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: that makes you cauky and you make mistakes as a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: result of that. We can't really say for sure what
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: happened here, but I suspect one of those two. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: then we have a couple of comments on YouTube regarding
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the Big Love Sarge seven to one four rights. Hello Adam,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: thank you for bringing us this episode of Dragnet, and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Alfred writes thanks for the PSA at the beginning. Thanks Alfred.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: As I said at the beginning, I don't want to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: overuse trigger warnings or things of that sort, but when
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: this series itself, when it was originally broadcast, had a warning,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it's probably a good idea to pass that along. End
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: affirm that. All right, Well, now it is time to
• 30:36
