• 1:34
  Speaker 5: It was Wednesday, September 8th. It was cold in Los Angeles.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: We were working the day watch out of homicide detail.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Warman. My
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: name's Friday. I was on my way back to the
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: office from R9. It was 10.14 a.m. when I got
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: to room 42. Homicide.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Pardon me, sir.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Are you a policeman?
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. That's right. What can I do for you?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I want to talk to somebody. I'm not sure who, though.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Well, if you tell me what it's all about, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: might be able to help you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I got to be sure it's the right person.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: You can understand that, can't you?
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: My name's Paul Marcus. All right, Mr.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Marcus, what is it you want to talk about?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Do you work in there in the homicide department?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You know all about murders, then, huh?
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: You want to come into the office and talk?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: No, no, I don't want to go in there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Is there someplace else we can go? I'd like to
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: talk to you alone. This is kind of a personal thing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: All right, sir.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Come on down the hall, the interrogation room.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Nobody else there?
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: That's good, because like I told you, this is a
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: personal matter. I need your advice. All right, sir, this way.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: This is the first time I've ever been in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: police department. I feel kind of funny just walking in
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: and talking personal things.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: To a stranger.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I can understand. Go ahead. Want to sit
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: down right there?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: All right, you want to tell me about it?
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Do you mind closing the door?
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: All right. All right, now, what's your problem, Mr.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Marcus? I told you it was personal.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, I know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: I want to be sure I handled it right. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: could get in a lot of trouble if I didn't.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: I've been trying to figure out what to do about
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: it for a week now and couldn't find the right answer.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: That's why I came here. You guys should know.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: All right. Now, if you'll just tell me what's bothering you,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: we might be able to do something for you.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: A whole week and no... I sure hope you got
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: it for me.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Mr. Marcus, but if you don't tell me
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: what this is all about, there's nothing we can do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Well, it's nothing big, just a personal problem. I just
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: want to know how to handle it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: All right, go ahead.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I killed a woman.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: We got the name of the woman Paul Marcus said
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: that he'd murdered. We also obtained a description of the victim,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: and Frank went down the hall to missing persons to
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: see if a report had been filed on her.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: I waited with the suspect. It's a personal problem. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: know how to handle it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I wasn't sure. That's why I came to you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: All right, where did you meet this Lorraine Farrell?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: San Francisco.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: How long ago?
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: A couple of weeks. I just knew her a little
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: while before it happened. Just a couple of weeks. Fisherman's Wharf.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: What's that? Fisherman's Wharf. That's where I met her in
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: San Francisco. I was on a vacation. Two weeks with pay,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: and I went to San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf. That's where
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I met Lorraine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: All right, go ahead.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I was down there sitting on the dock looking
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: at the boats, just sitting there eating prawns. You know
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: how they cook them in those great big pots?
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I was just sitting there eating prawns, and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: met her.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Well, where'd you kill her?
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Look, you've got to let me tell this in my
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: own way, or I'm not going to tell you at all.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: It's got to be right so you'll understand. Now, if
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: you don't get it right, the whole thing's gone wrong.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: You see, it's a real personal thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: All right, sir, go ahead.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Well, I was just sitting there eating prawns, eating them
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: and throwing the little tail pieces down the water.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: You know how you do.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Watching them kind of float around. Kind of all of
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: a sudden, she was right there sitting just alongside of me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: You ever see her before?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I never laid eyes on her till then.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: All right, go ahead.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: We both sat there for a minute and then we talked.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Just little things like nice weather and how long you've
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: been in San Francisco.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Things like that. You know how you do.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: How old did you say the feral woman was?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Nineteen. Turned nineteen the fifth of August.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: She was born there, you know, in San Francisco She

• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Supervision of a psychiatrist, maybe?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You think I'm crazy, don't you?
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I want to just ask you a question.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not. I've never been to a doctor. I'm
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: telling you the truth. You'll see.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: All right. Do you want to go ahead?
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I guess you get a lot of crackpots in here
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: telling you all kinds of phony stories, huh?
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: The doors are wide open all night.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I guess you get a lot of them. But I'm
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: not a crackpot. I'm telling you the truth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: I did kill her. But it's important you know why
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I did it. I got to tell you the right way.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: If I don't, none of it's going to be any good.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: When did you kill her?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: September 1st. That's the day we left. September 1st.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: That'd be a week ago today, huh?
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, September 1st. Joe? Yeah?
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: See you in a minute. All right. Just a minute, Marcus. Mm-hmm.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: All right, what do you got? Well, I checked missing persons. Yeah?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I got a report on the girl.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Same name, description matches. When did she disappear? September 1st. Well,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: that fits in with what he told us.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's something that doesn't.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: What's that? She's 16 years old. Each year, there are
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: hundreds of citizens who walk into the nearest police station
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: and confess to some sort of crime. Some have actually happened.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Others have occurred only in the mind of the person confessing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: No matter how wild the confession, how implausible the details
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: of the crime, each report has to be checked out.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: To doctors, cases are clinical. But to the working detectives,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: they're the cause of a lot of legwork and a
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: great deal of checking. They cost the taxpayer untold man
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: hours in investigating time and many times result in nothing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Because of his attitude and his reluctance to give us
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the complete story all at once, it appeared that Paul
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Marcus might be one of these people. The fact that
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: he named a girl who was missing meant little, since
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: it was possible for him to have read the story
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: in a newspaper. The only way we had of being
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: sure was to continue the interrogation. 10.34 a.m.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: She told me she wanted to get away from home.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: That's what she told me, how it was rough for
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: her there, and she wanted to get away. Mm-hmm.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: That's when you said you'd bring her down here, is
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: that right?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I didn't even suggest it. The whole thing
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: was her idea. She brought her down?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: You see, after that first day on Fisherman's Wharf, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: saw her several times. Almost every day, we'd meet someplace
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: and talk. Where would you meet her? Well, sometimes in
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: one of the hotel bars once we met out at
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: the Steinhardt Aquarium. We met on the rotunda there. You
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: know where they have the big pool and all the
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: alligators swimming around?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: You know where? Well, we met there once.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: And we walked over to the place where they have
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: the band concerts right across the way where the band plays.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Only they weren't there that day. Wasn't anybody there, just
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Lorraine and me. We sat on the benches and talked.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: That's when she said she wanted.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: To go with me. To Los Angeles, huh?
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: That's where I was going. She wanted me to take her.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: She came right out and asked you? Sure.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Told me how it was hard for her at home
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: and she wanted to get away. She told me she
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: had friends here. Said she could stay with them until
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: she got things straightened out. You know, get a job
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: in a place of her own. Well, she was going
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: to do that. Get a place of her own and
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: a job.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Then she'd be all right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: You ever meet her parents?
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: No, I never went to the house. She told me
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: where it was, though. Someplace out by the Twin Peaks Tunnel.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: I didn't know where exactly. She didn't want me to
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: go out there. Said it would only cause her more trouble.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: That's why I'd meet her in town.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: You ever meet any of her friends up in San Francisco?
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just once we were in a drugstore on Market
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Street having a sandwich. We were just sitting there, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: she was telling me how it was bad for her
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: at home, and a girl came in.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Looked like she was a schoolgirl. You know how I mean, young?
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: She came in and talked to Lorraine, then they went
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: over to the phone.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Booths and talked.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: You didn't actually meet the girl?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: No. No, Lorraine said if I did, the girl might
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: say something to Lorraine's parents, and that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Would cause trouble.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: You know this girl's name?
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I think it was Grace. I'm not sure, but I
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: think it was Grace.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: When did you leave San Francisco?
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Wednesday morning, September 1st. I wanted to get back in
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: time to get some rest before I had to go
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: to work. You know, my vacation was up and I
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: had to go back to work. Where'd you pick up
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: the girl? Wasn't a pickup. I was sitting on Fisherman's
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Wharf eating prawns and looking at the boats and we
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: started to talk.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Wasn't a pickup. We just got friendly.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: No, Marcus. He means where'd you pick up the girl
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: when you left for Los Angeles?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought you met when I met her the
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: first time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: That's what I thought. I met her out at the tunnel.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Where's that?
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Well, you know where Castro Street runs in the market,
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: where the L car comes in from the beach? That's
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: where I met her. She came from home, had her
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: suitcase and all, and she came out on the L car.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: All right, go ahead.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Well, she got off the streetcar, got into my car,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: and we left for Los Angeles.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Where'd you kill her?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I told you before, if I don't tell it my way,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: it isn't going to work. You're not going to understand.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: It's got to be my way.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: All right, go ahead, Mark.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Well, it was a beautiful day, just the kind of
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: a day you want when you're going on a drive.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: You know how I mean, clear and the sun shining?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what kind of a day it was. Uh-huh.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: You could see all across the bay over to Berkeley
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: and way up north.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It was real clear. You want to go ahead with
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: your story? Mr.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Friday?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. My way?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, all right. Go ahead.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: We drove all day, stopped for lunch at a place
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: near San Luis Obispo, a little lunch stand there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Had a French dip sandwich. It was one of the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: best I ever had.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: The meat was real lean, and they didn't sop up
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: the bun with the gravy. Just the right amount. One
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: of the best I ever ate. Lorraine liked them, too.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: She didn't like the bread all sopped up with gravy.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. What happened after you had lunch?
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: We left there and drove on. We got down to
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: around Malibu. I guess it was really before that where
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: the divided highway is, up the coast.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: You know where the cliffs are? Yeah, we know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Well, we stopped. She was such a beautiful night. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: just wanted to sit there and look at the ocean.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: People don't take time anymore.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: And what happened then?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: We just sat there, had a cigarette and talked. That's

  Speaker 6: and that's why she did it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: So you see, I had to kill her. I had to.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: How'd you kill her?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I say, how did you kill her?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: We got out of the car and walked over to
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: the cliffs. We could see right down to the ocean.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: We just stood there. I just hit her. She fell down.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: It was quiet. So I pushed her over into the water. Mm-hmm.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: What'd you do then, Marcus?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I got in the car and drove home.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: You just left her there, huh?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Certainly. There wasn't anything I could do for her.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: You point out the place where all this happened? Well, sure.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: It's up the coast where the highway's divided, north of Malibu.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: It's real easy to find. Anybody else around? You mean
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: when I hit her?
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: No, we were all alone. I didn't see anybody, just
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the two of us.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: All right, Marcus, you willing to give us a statement

  Speaker 5: Well, sure.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: You want me to tell all about it again?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: We'll call in a stenographer.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: So you can write it down, huh?
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: That's the idea.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Well, sure, I'll tell her.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Tell me something, Marcus. When did you get out of
• 12:15

  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: I came in here because I wanted to tell you
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: about Lorraine. I wanted you to know so you wouldn't
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: think it was my fault, that's all. So you wouldn't
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: think it was my fault, and now you don't believe me.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: You think I'm just another crackpot trying to sell a
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: phony story. You guys sure make it tough.

  Speaker 5: We gotta be sure.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm telling you the truth. I want you to
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: believe me.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: I want you to believe me.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Man, we're beginning to. A statement was taken from the
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: suspect and he was booked in at the main jail
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: on a charge of suspicion of violation of Section 187 PC, murder.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: We sent a teletype to San Francisco and we contacted
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Inspectors Ed Van Der Voort and John O'Hare of Homicide Detail.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: We filled them in and asked that they check out
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: the suspect's story on their end. We also asked that
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: they send us all available information on the missing girl
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: and that they check with her family and try to
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: get a list of any known associates that she might
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: have had in the Los Angeles area. Frank and I
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: checked out of the office at 7.48 p.m. and we
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: went home for the night. The following morning at 9.23 a.m.,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Inspector Vandervoort from San Francisco called back.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. When was that, Ed? Wait a minute. All right, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: I got it. How about friends down here? I said,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: how about friends down here? Mm-hmm. Well, it should be
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: here this afternoon, then.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll check them out. No, no, that's on the way.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: We put it in the mail for you last... Well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: you should have it by now, then. Okay, right. Right, Ed,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: thanks very much. We'll be checking with you.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Bye. How about it? Well, they checked the family and
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: the friends, the place where Marcus said he stayed up there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Marcus' story checks out all the way. Yeah. In the
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: phone conversation, we learned that all of Lorraine Farrell's friends
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: and relatives had been interviewed and their stories checked with
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: the one given us by the suspect, Marcus. The girl
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: and Paul Marcus had been seen together in the Bay City.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: The desk clerk at the hotel where the suspect had
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: stayed verified the date that he'd checked out. It was
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: the same day Lorraine Farrell disappeared. The officers in San
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Francisco were able to contact the girl the suspect had
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: referred to as Grace. She recalled seeing a man answering
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Marcus' description with a missing Farrell girl. Frank and I
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: spent the rest of the day checking on the suspect.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: We talked to the people he worked with.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: They described Marcus as being moody and withdrawn. We talked
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: with his landlady. Her description of the suspect's attitude was
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: the same that we'd gotten before. We thoroughly searched Marcus' apartment,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: and in a desk drawer we found a loose-leaf notebook
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: with several pages of penciled notes describing the trip that
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: he'd taken up to San Francisco. On one of the pages,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: at the back of the book, we found a lengthy
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: letter to a Lorraine, in which Marcus apologized to the
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: girl for killing her, but he went on to explain
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that he had no choice. We booked this evidence. The
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: following morning, Friday, September 10th, Frank and I drove down
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: to the beach and we talked to the people in
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: the vicinity where the suspect said the murder had occurred.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: We found an elderly couple who lived in a trailer
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: on the beach. They recalled having seen two people answering
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: the description of the suspect and the missing girl on
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: the night that the murder occurred. We drove back to
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: the main jail and we signed out, Marcus. We took
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: him down to the car and we drove him out
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: to the beach. We turned up the highway and told
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: him to let us know when we came to the
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: place where he killed the feral girl.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: You sure you know where the place is, Marcus? Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: I remember. It's just up the road a little bit.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Just keep right on going.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: You'll find it. You'll see it now. There's kind of
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: a parking place and a couple of trees. Eucalyptus, I think.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: There's two of them on the side of the parking place.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: You can't miss them.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: It's right ahead there on the left.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: There, you see? Yeah.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: I'm going to pull in, Frank. Okay.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Just look at all those cars. Everybody's in such a hurry,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: they never see anything. Just like they had blinders on.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: You sure this is the place? I told you, didn't I?
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: No reason to say a thing like that. If it
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: wasn't true, just pull right in there. That's it, right
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: over there. Right here is where I parked when it happened.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Maybe over there a little bit more, but.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, right about here.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: And the two of you just sat here for a
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: few minutes, is that it?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: We just sat here and had a cigarette, and then
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: we got out of the car and walked over to
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: the edge of the cliff.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: All right, come on.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Show us.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Sure. So you'll believe me, I'll show you. Now, we
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: stood right over there.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Right there, and I told her I was in love
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: with her and wanted to marry her.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Now, you stay here. Just point out where you were.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: You think I might try to jump off, don't you?
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: That's what you think, isn't it?
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: You just show us, huh?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't do that. There's no reason to. I don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: know why you wouldn't agree that I had to do it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: I didn't have any other way to do it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Where were you when you hit her? Right there, near
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: that clump of grass.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: We stood there and looked down at the ocean, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: she told me about this other guy.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: That's when I hit her. She fell down right about, well,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: right about there. Uh-huh. And where'd you push her off
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: the cliff? There, right where I hit her. She was
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: just lying there.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I guess she hit her head on something, and she
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: was real quiet.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I just rolled her over the edge.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: It was right there.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: There, you see where the rocks are kind of worn?
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Go and take a look. Yeah. No, you wait here.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: Gee, if I'd have known it was going to be
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: this hard to get it straightened out, I don't think
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: I'd have started the thing. When am I going to
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: get out of jail?
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: That isn't up to us.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Well, then I want to talk to the people who
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: it's up to. I got to tell them about Lorraine,
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: how she lied to me and why I had to
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: kill her. As soon as they hear the story, they'll understand.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: They got to realize that there wasn't any other way.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: How's it look? Well, I found this caught in a
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: branch just over the edge.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: It's a girl's handkerchief. Read the name on it. No. Friday,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: September 10th, 3.46 p.m. We contacted the crime lab and
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: asked them to come out and go over the scene.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Officers stood by so that any physical evidence would not
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: be disturbed until Lieutenant Lee Jones and his men had
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: an opportunity to go over it. Frank and I, along
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: with the suspect, drove back to town where we made
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: arrangements with the city lifeguard service to search for the body.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: The following morning, a boat equipped with diving gear left
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Santa Monica Harbor and took a course north. Experienced deep-sea
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: divers searched the crevices in the rocks beneath the cliffs.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: All of the sea bordering the vicinity was gone over.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: There was no trace of a body. The shoreline on
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: either side of the murder spot was checked. Still no
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: trace of the missing girl. In the meantime, two additional
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: teams of men were assigned to check out the friends
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: of Lorraine Farrell. They carried pictures of Paul Marcus and
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: attempted to dig out any information on the suspect and
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: the missing girl. 6.42 p.m., Sunday. We called the main
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: jail and asked that the suspect be brought to the
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: city hall for additional questioning.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I had a reason to do what I did, a
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: good reason. Now, you let me talk to the responsible
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: people around here, and I'll have them tell you. I'm
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: getting a little tired of being shoved around. You just
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: bring in the boss and let me talk to him.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: What day did you say that you left San Francisco?
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: September 1st.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I thought it was the 2nd. The 1st. You said
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: you left in the afternoon. Is that right?
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: In the morning, and you'll remember it. I don't know
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: what all these questions are for. I told you I
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: killed Lorraine. I walked in here and told you there's
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: no reason for all this, McGillis.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Just no reason.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Where'd you hide the body?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't hide it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Well, and where is it?
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: I told you, I put her in the ocean.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: We haven't been able to find her.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Well, then you're not looking good. I told you the
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: truth all along the line. I've told you the truth.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: You sure you didn't make a mistake about where all
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: this happened?
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Not a chance in the world. Right there by the
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: parking place where the two trees are.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe you just thought you left her there.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: I know it. Had you been drinking when you killed her?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: We stopped and had a couple of beers on the way.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Just a couple, not enough to get drunk.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: But you did have something to drink. Well, sure.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: But not enough to get drunk on.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: How many beers you have?
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Two, maybe three.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Why, which was it? Two or three.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Well, what difference does it make?
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Were you drunk?
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: How about the girl? Was she drunk?
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: You sure about that?
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I'm sure. What are you trying to do?
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: What difference does it make? Maybe we did have more
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: than a couple, but what difference does it make?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Just trying to get things straight. We want to be
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: sure we got the right story.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you have.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: All right. How about a cigarette?
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks. Frank?
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks. Here, I got a match.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Hey, wait a minute.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Don't light his, too. That's bad.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Three on a match. It's bad.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: It is, huh?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Well, sure. You never do that.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Here. Here.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Thanks. You got right home after you killed the Farrell girl, huh?
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I drove right down the highway and went home.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Traffic was kind of heavy.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I thought about it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: All those people all hurrying around, not taking any time.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Anybody see you when you came home?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Well, anybody see you park the car, go into your apartment?
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Well, no. There wasn't anybody around.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: You said when you met the girl up in San
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Francisco that she had a suitcase with her.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah, she did. Artificial leather with real
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: leather binding.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Where is it now?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Huh? What did you do with her suitcase?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. I don't remember it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: We couldn't find it in your room.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Well, you didn't have no right to go through my room.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: No right at all. We didn't find a suitcase.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Where is it?
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Did you put it with a body?
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Well, I might have.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't remember. I hit her. She
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: lied to me and I hit her. And I pushed
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: her into the ocean. That's all I know. And that's
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: all I'm going to tell you.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Joe, see you in a minute.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sure. What do you got, Al?
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: We found the girl.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: She's sitting in the squad room.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Frank stayed with the suspect in the interrogation room and
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: I went with Sergeant Al to leave us up to
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: the office. Sitting at one of the tables was a
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: small girl with jet black hair. As we came into
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: the room, she was putting on lipstick. She glanced over
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: at us and then she went back to what she
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: was doing. There wasn't any doubt about it. The girl
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: in the squad room was Lorraine Farrell. She dyed her
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: hair and she had on a lot of makeup. but
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: it was the missing girl. Joe, this is Miss Farrell,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: Joe Friday. How do you do?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Where'd you find her, Al?
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Friend up in Eagle Rock. Says she's been there for
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: a week.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Al.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: You seen the papers lately, Miss Farrell?
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I read the frontings.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: You ought to read the front page. You've been on them.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Am I right?
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. We've got a lot of policemen out looking for you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: They probably needed the exercise anyway. There's a man down
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the hall who thinks that he killed you. That creep, Paul? Yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Paul Marcus. That's his name.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Real creep.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: I was glad to get away from him. Oh, gosh,
