The Séance for Ruth Dixon

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Bob Bailey 30-Minute Era (1956–1960) · Aug 21, 2026 · 29m

Aired: Jun 16th, 1957. Johnny Dollar heads back to Newport, Rhode Island, to smooth over ruffled feathers with the local police and dig into the unsolved murder of Ruth Dixon, a young woman whose body washed up on the beach. As he brings roses to the grieving mother, Johnny stumbles into a house thick with incense, candlelight, and talk of séances — where a mysterious medium claims she can bridge the gap between the living and the dead. A classic Bob Bailey-era case blending hard-boiled insurance investigation with a touch of the occult.
