• 4:07
  Speaker 7: This is just a waste of time waiting through all

  Speaker 7: these pictures. I've been through two of these books already.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: I couldn't identify any of the guys.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we know it's pretty tedious. We'd just like to
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: have you check through a few more volumes if you

  Speaker 7: you everything, I know, just what happened. A few more
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: things we'd like to ask you about. Is there some
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: of the details you didn't make quite clear?
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: What details? How do you mean details about the hijacking?
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Mind going over with the gain voice?
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: Well later it out for you. The last time he
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: talked to me just the way it went. It's the
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: same as the rest. Well, how do you mean the
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: same as the rest?
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Well, the other hijackings are the same as though it
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: was no different. You're pretty familiar with the other jobs,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: aren't well?
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Follow them in the paper or the bullet and the
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: cops got out on him. It's up on the dispatch
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: board in the garage. Is that fresh water?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: And I coud over there? Yeah? I think so happens
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: to night. I have a pup last one for his headache.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Can't take asphin it's not water. You know you've been
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: driving a couple of years for Lavell Trucking Line. Is
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: that right, bros?
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: That's right?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: What if you'd mind running it through for us again? Bro,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Maybe there's a few details about the thing that you
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: forgot to mention.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: It won't be any different. And last time I pulled
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: out from the load and dock about six o'clock yesterday
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: morning hauling a load of Scotch whiskey over to Phoenix,
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: pulled up for the red lighted Alameda and Jackson. That's
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: when the guy pulled open the door and got in
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: next to me, put a gun in my ribs told
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: me look straight ahead. The first thing he did was
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: hand me the pair of goggles and tell me to
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: put him on same kind of the welders use. Front
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: of the lens was covered with the tape. I put
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: him on.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I couldn't see a thing. Guy took over the wheel
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: and started driving. Well, does you have any idea what
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: direction you were heading in? Not with the goggles on.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: I tried to follow it first, but I got all
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: mixed up, couldn't tell where he was driving, made quite
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: a few turns. He drove about twenty twenty five minutes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: I guess before we pulled up that's where the switching
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: point was. Two more guys met us there. I could
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: only tell by the voices. They put me out of
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: the truck and put me in a car.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Well, can you tell us anything at all about that
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: transfer point? I mean, were there any sounds or anything
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: like that that give you an idea that maybe.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Where you were?
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I figure it must have been someplace out in
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: the valley, pretty far out, no traffic sounds at all,
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: just cricket scene and things like that. You got me
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: in that car, drove around about an hour, I figure,
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: and they put me on out side of the road,
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: told me to leave the goggles on for ten minutes,
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: and then they drove off.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Well, how about those two men at the transfer point?
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: If you heard their voices again, you think you could
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: recognize them.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I don't No, I dit it. I didn't say too much,
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: not that I heard anyway.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: I'm just curious, Bruhs, how is it you thought of
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: calling your company first instead of the police. Well, it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: their cargo, hold old a whiskey. If somebody hijacked that,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: I figured the company ought to be the first to know.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I like to ask you just one more question. There's
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: no offense intended here. Yeah, have you ever been arrested?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: What'd that have to do with? Probably nothing at all.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Have you ever been arrested?
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: I'd like to set you straight on it right now.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: If you think I was working inside on this thing,
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: you got it wrong. I didn't have anything to do
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: with it, and there's nothing to worry about it, all right. Yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: I've been arrested that Burroughs about ten years ago. It
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: was back east West Virginia. What was the chart hijacking?
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Our records showed no previous arrests for Frank Burrows for
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: the next few days.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: He was kept under observation.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: When we got the kickback from Washington, it showed Burrows
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: had one previous arrest, the one he told us about,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: for hijacking. We checked all his friends, relatives and associates.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: We found nothing suspicious. His employers said that they were
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: aware of his police record, but they told us that
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Burrows was one of the best drivers they had. There
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: was nothing to link him with a series of hijackings
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: which had been going on all over the city for
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the past month.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Our crime lab checked the pair of goggles which Burrows
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: had been forced to wear during the hijacking.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: They were an ordinary industrial type, easily obtained and impossible
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: to trace other than those belonging to Burrows. There were
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: no fingerprints on them. Late that afternoon, the missing truck
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: and trailer was found empty in a deserted section of
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: the valley, no latent, fingerprints or other physical evidence.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Nine am the next morning, we met with Captain Dideon.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Carcos going on how to trace something that said Skipper
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: High Great Scott's Whiskey. One hundred and fifty cases you
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: got out of bullets and all the liquor wholesalers, serial numbers, listening.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: That ex con Burrows. Nothing turned up on him, No, nothing,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: We double checked. Everything about him is clean. You didn't
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: get anything off, had abandon the truck, no prints, no
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: physical evidence. Seems like they got it down to a science.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Sound like the fad Brown.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: He's getting all the kicks from the warehouse operators. Thirty
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: days and six hijackings. How about moving faster? Well, as
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: you know, we got twelve steakhouts running down freight load
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: skipper Yeah, incoming out going, got three girls in the Stat's.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Office doing nothing but making runs for us. No news respect.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: We've got a meeting with an informant after lunch. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: figures he may have something. There's nothing to bank on it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: How about an inside tip off on these jobs? Any
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: indication the gang's working something like that. No, nothing, Definitely
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: skipper jobs seem to be pretty well cased.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Though.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: We've checked out everybody with a record working.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: For the trucking lines. No reason to think any of
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: them had to end in it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Excuse me a minute, didion Yeah, live Oak near Trenton, happening, Yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: I got it right, Thank you. Yet another truck earl
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: this morning, where there's a location. Better move on. It
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: looks like they got their signals crushed. Honey, mean, it
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: doesn't make sense. The cargo of the hijack, what was it?
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: A load of toothbrushes?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Nine three am, Ben and I drove to the intersection
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: of Live Oat Drive and Trenton Avenue in the Hollywood Hills,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: where we located the latest driver to.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Fall victim to the gang of hijackers. His story was
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: the same as the others.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: He'd stopped his truck for a red light at a
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: deserted intersection when a man jumped on the running board
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: and pointed a gun at his head. The man with
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: the gun took over the wheel and forced the driver
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: to put on a pair.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Of black dot welders goggles.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Then the truck was moved to a remote spot where
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: the driver was transferred to a car and later released
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: in the remote section of the Hollywood Hills. The hijack
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: truck was found empty a day later, and again there
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: was no physical evidence, no fingerprints.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: The driver could add little to what we already knew.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: The only point that made the case any different from
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: those that had gone before was the cargo that had
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: been stolen.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: A load of toothbrushes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: We began an immediate check of the neighborhood where, according
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: to the driver, he was first held up. It was
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: a fairly remote intersection in the San Fernando Valley. After
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: four hours of interviewing ranchers and gas station attendance, we
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: talked to the operator of a practice driving range for
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: golfers located just off the highway.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: His name was Fred Garrison.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, I did notice something out
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: of the ordinary this morning, a little four to six am,
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: I think, spotted this big semi turning off on that
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: dirt road down the highway there.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Now which dirt road is that, miss Garrison?
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, right up the highway there? Shit, Oh, it turns
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: off by that clump of trees. Couldn't figure out why
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: a big truck and trailer be taken that road. Doesn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: make sense.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: What do you mean?
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: What's the dead end? No reason why a driver turned
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: off there by mistake. There's a big sign right there
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: at the intersection says not a through street right there?
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: See it plainnessday.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I wonder if he could describe the truck force, mister Garrison.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: It was pretty good size, one of those big aluminum jobs.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: Black lettering on the side. I think, yeah, it turned
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: off the highway, went down the dirt road a little ways,
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: and then it turned off into that grove of trees
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: and the driver cut the lights.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: Did you notice any activity going on in Goo?
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: No?
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: No, I didn't. Oh maybe I should have walked over
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: and checked it. I figured it was just some truck
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: driver pulling up to catch a few weeks asleep.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: And I see my boy Dave was with me at the.
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: Time, wanted to check it, but I told him to
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: mind his own business.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: He says. A couple of minutes.
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: After the truck pulled in, he saw Gray s Dan
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: come down the road and park next to the truck,
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: right in that same clump of trees.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I didn't always look a little suspicious to use her.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Oh I suppose so, and away.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: I just don't like the metal where it's not my business.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: That's awful. Did your boy Dave get a good look
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: at this grace oft and you.
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: Know you want to come in the officer sit down?
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Sure?
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Oh huh, hey, sit right there if you like.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Let's see now where worry about your boy Dave's Oh yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: you said that he saw Gray sa'dan pulling next to
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: the truck over in that plump of trees.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Did he mention anything else that he noticed about the car,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, other than the fact that it was a
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: gray Sedan.
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I think he did say something else about it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: Let's see, I wasn't listening too close at the time.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: Dave's doing some arians downtown for me right now. He'll
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: be phoning in pretty soon, though I can ask him
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: about it. Then he paid a lot more attention to
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: the thing than I did.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Well, how long were the truck and trailer in the
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Saedan park in the grove of trees?
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Do you remember there?
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: Well, not too long, maybe fifteen twenty minutes. The car
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: pulled out first and took off down the highway away
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: from town that way, see, and the truck and trailer
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: left few minutes after waste.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: Figure they were up to And we've got an idea
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: what time was that Againza, when you saw the truck
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: turn off the highway onto the dirt.
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: Room, About six am, maybe a few minutes one way
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: or the other.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: I wonder if you'd show us the exact spot where
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: you saw that truck park, would you? Oh?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: Here you want to come over here with me to window.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Huh.
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: Now you see the clump of trees there?
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how you glipped? How they bought it right on
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: the road.
• 12:38

  Speaker 6: How about the sedan? Said, you get a pretty good
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: look at it? Did he say? Yeah?
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: I guess so he got part of a license number.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Red Garrison's son, Dave returned and gave us all the
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: pertinent facts about the truck and the gray Sedan which
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: he'd noticed in the neighborhood.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Early that morning.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: His description of the truck and trailer what he saw,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: but anyway, Matt's closely with that of the latest vehicle
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: to be hijacked. He described the car as a gray Sedan,
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: and he said it looked to him like it was
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: a late model Nash, but he couldn't be sure.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: He said.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: The first three units on the license plate were seventy seven.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: The location in the grove of trees where the truck
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: had been spotted was checked thoroughly. Outside of some indefinite
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: tire tracks, there was no physical evidence. Four ten PM,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: we put in a call to DMV and asked for
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: a rundown on the three license plate numbers. The next morning,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: DMB returned to us a list of more than a
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: thousand auto registrations, which began with a figure seventy seven.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: We went down the list and gradually eliminated six hundred
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: of these as not being physically close in description to
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the car scene by Garrison's boy Dave.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: We kept checking.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Almost three hundred more on the list were registered in
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: distant parts of the state. That left us with over
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: one hundred vehicles registered in or around Los Angeles to
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: check out.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: It went slow. Three weeks passed.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: We narrowed the list down to twenty three possibles. Tuesday,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: December tenth, we were checking registrations with addresses in the
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: east end of the city.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: It's a name on this one against Perry or Water

  Speaker 5: We left the garage, checked the house again to make
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: sure that there was nobody at home. Then we went

  Speaker 7: lived with us, nine of them. Didn't get any better,
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: didn't get any worse, Just the same old yapping her
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: and her four girls. Why couldn't they listen to her?
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: They were the best girls in the world. Why couldn't
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: they marry money?
• 25:12

• 25:53
  Speaker 14: Why did you do ask him when they're they're honey?
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: You heard as much of it as I did, nine

• 26:10
  Speaker 6: All right, pray, let's go.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Fine.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: How are you figuring? I don't know. How about some coffee? Okay?
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: She is funny.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: You see other people sweating that your troubles looked like nothing.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: I'm just thinking about what's that those in laws in
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: what about it? Yes, I hadn't got it half.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Then the story you have just heard was true, only
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the names were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: On March fifth, trial was held in Superior Court, Department
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: eighty seven, City in County of Los Angeles, State of California.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: In a moment the results of that trial, Walter Richard
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Perry was tried and convicted on several counts of robbery
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: in the first degree. He was sentenced to the state
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: penitentiary for the term prescribed by law. First degree robbery
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: is punishable by a term of five years to life.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: His accomplices received similar sentences, Ladies and gentlemen, As we know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: thousands of people in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Illinois have
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: been driven from their homes by floodwaters.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Many are being sheltered and fed with a Red Cross.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: All Americans are urged to give through their local Red
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Cross chapters. Your contribution of just a dollar will give
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: you a feeling of justifiable pride.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: You have just heard drag Meth a series of authentic
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: cases from official filets technical advice comes from the office
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: of Chief of Police W. H. Parker, Los Angeles Police Department.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Stay tuned for Counterspy Next time, NBC.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back. I was wondering how Romero's in laws would
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: come back into the tititle, and of course it turns
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: out it has to do with both Romero's in laws
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and the perpetrators. I guess in some ways, Romero's reacting
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to other people's family troubles the same way that people
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in the nineties did when they watched those sort of
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: daytime talk shows, or today when people watch reality TV
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: shows and they see people behaving so crazily and they're like, Okay,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: my family is messed up, but at least we're not
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that bad now. I do sympathize with the perpetrator a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: little bit, but I don't like the idea of, particularly
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in a case like this, of someone driving someone else
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to commit a crime, which is essentially what he did
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: when he was saying, nobody could make me do this,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: but my mother in law, she made me do it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Lots of people have overbearing, nagging mother in laws, and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: they also have wives who will put up with it
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and not stick up for their husbands. But most of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: these guys don't start hijacking liquor. There are all kinds
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: of ways to deal with this, and beginning on hijacking
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: trucks is a choice. Now, if this were Broadways my beat,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Danny Clover probably would have arrested the mother in law
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: on principle as an accessory. But Dragnet's based more on
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the real world. All right, Listener comments and feedback, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: we just have a couple of ones from YouTube on
