  Speaker 6: I'm sorry I wasn't home when you stopped by yesterday's sergeant.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I got the card you left, though, I called him
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: as soon as I got home.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks for coming in, Miss Banner. We have a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: few questions we'd like to ask. You won't take very long.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: We have a communication from a Lattice Dylan back in
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: New York. Miss Bannart's about her brother at Chester Dylan.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: We understand you rented his home from him. I don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: know it's on Avenue, mister Dylan.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: My yes, I've got a two year lease on the house.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: I rented it Friming last November.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Well, according to the letter we got from mister Dylan's sisters,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: she's worried about him. She hasn't heard from him in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: some time. Have you any idea where we could contact Well?
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: The last I heard he left on a trip to
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: New York. That was about eight weeks ago, i'd say.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: You see, I usually sent a check for the rent
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: the apartment he had here, and when he left on
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: his trip, he told me to hold on to the
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: rent checks and he'd collect him when he got back.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: How long did he say he'd be gone, I don't.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Remember, definitely. I think he said four or five months.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He didn't leave any forwarding address, any place you could
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: contact him back east.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: No, he didn't. He just wanted to get away, didn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: want to be bothered with anyone. He wasn't feeling very well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: very depressed. Poor man.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Well, why was that, ma'am?
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Do you know his wife's died just a few months ago?
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: You know, no, man, we didn't know.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: What we got from his sister was that she hadn't
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: heard from Dylan.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: She was worrying. She didn't give us any other information.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, missus, Dylan died in last September. I think it
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: was poor man felt terrible about it, couldn't seem to
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: get over it. That's why he rented the house to me.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Reminded him too much of her. Yes, I understand, lovely
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: home they have. Mister Dolan said he really didn't want
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: to rent it, but he couldn't standing alone in the
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: house was a large place, you know.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am. We checked with the people living in the house.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Now we understand you least the place to them. Last
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: month I stub least.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, you see, it just got too big for me.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: It was nice at first, but it got to be
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: an awfu lot of work. I rented to this family
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: and took a smaller house on the street.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Would you happen to know any of mister Dylon's friends
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: in the city, Miss Banner, anyone we could contact, he
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: might know where we'd be locat him. I don't know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: We didn't seem to have any friends, see, and his
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: wife had only been in the city a year before
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: she died.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: He was retired, you know, Yes, man, we talked to
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: some of the neighbors out there. They couldn't tell us
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: much about him.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Maybe some of the people he did business with might
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: know something. If he tried the neighborhood bank out there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I know that's where mister Dollan had his account.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: No, man, we haven't yet.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Well, I can give you the bank's address. It's about
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: all though.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: That's the only contact, you know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid so, yes, I didn't know much about mister
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Dolan's private affairs. Whenever I talked to him, it seemed
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: the only thing he had on his mind was his
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: wife's death. It couldn't seem to get over it. It
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: seemed like he didn't want to get over it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You mentioned that when you leased his home, mister Dylan
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: took an apartment. Do you happen to have that address
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: with Banner?
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't have it with me now, but I
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: have it at home. I can call in and give
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: it to you if you like.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: If you would for you certainly, well, thank you very much,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Miss Benning. You have our card, and when you hear
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: anything at all from mister dinnan, we'd appreciate it if
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: you could call.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: And surely I'll call you right away. Do you think
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: something could have happened to him?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Well as possible, we don't know. All we have is
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a letter from his sister.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Does seem kind of strange, doesn't It wasn't feeling too well.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: I wondered why he hadn't contacted me about sending the
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: rent money to him. He was such a nice man,
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: mister Dylan. I certainly hope nothing's happened to him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you say it was very depressed about his wife's death. Man,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: would you say that it was getting to be a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: little abnormal with him?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Maybe?
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't know about that, sergeant, But I didn't know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: He brooded about it all the time, he felt that
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: he'd lost everything, didn't seem to want to go on.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Uh huh. He ever give an indication that maybe he
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: might take his own life. I mean, all this brooding
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: over his wife.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: Well, no, nothing definite, just depressed and moody all the time. Oh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: now that I remember. The last time I saw him,
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: he did say something kind of funny.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: What was that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: It was the day before he left. We were talking
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: about the rent money and I asked him if I
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: couldn't send it to him. He got kind of a
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: strange look on his face. Yeah, he said, where I'm going,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I won't need the money.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: The day before we called on Lucille Banner for an interview,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a letter had been received from a Miss Gladys Dlon
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: in Elmira, New York. Her request was routine. It was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: one of thousands of similar letters received every year by
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: police departments all over the country. Each one of them
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: has to be worked out to the satisfaction of all
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: parties concerned, the person who's reported missing and the person
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: looking for them. It's an enormous job, requiring thousands of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: man hours annually. Like the dozens of other investigations handled
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: by the police officers, some of the men happily, some
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of them in tragedy. Whatever the result, the finding of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a lost person is just as important a function of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: your local police department as any other investigation. Gladys Dylan
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: hadn't heard from her brother recently. She was worried about him.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: She asked us to investigate. Our initial interview with Lucille Banner,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the woman who had rented Chester Dillon's home, failed to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: yield much of a lead as to us whereabouts. The
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: only source of additional information she could offer was the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: neighborhood bank where Dylan had his account. One o'clock that afternoon,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Ben and I drove out to interview the manager of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the bank. Think I'm mister Harrison. Yes, that's right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Mister Dylan's Pedd's account with us ever since he came
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: to Los Angeles.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: I know him quite well. Is it something you'd like to.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Know about him?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, there is.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: We had a request from his sister in New York
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: she'd like to locate. I'm pretty sure his account is
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: still open here. Matter of fact, I'm positivity at this moment.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I'll have one of the quirts get him fired.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think it was sure. I had to reminds me.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: I almost forgot.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: What's that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: I've got to get to the bank to morew for
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: sure payment all my cars. The day passed you already
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: when he got two Mayman's left, when we we were
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: doing fine. I got another eight months ago. I'm not
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: so fine. Two more famous to go, and now the
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: wife once a knew and never failure. Here we are, sergeant,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Just as I thought, mister Dylan's account is still open
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: for her.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Is there been any recent deposits or withdrawals on the account?
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: I never look here, Uh huh, just as.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I thought nothing Since he left on his trip. That
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: last withdrawal date was November twenty seventh. He mentioned to
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: you that he was going on on trip, did he yes?
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I think he said he was going back to New York,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: more or less a vacation trip.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: His wife died recently. He didn't take it too well.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, we understand. Did he leave any instructions about his
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: account with you, mister Harrison. Then he addressed you could
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: contact him out if you had to.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: No, he didn't leave any instructions with me, no address,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: just a vacation trip. He said he didn't expect to
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: be gone too long. Did he mention how long it
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: would be?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Five or six weeks? I think that's what he said.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I happened to talk to him about it because at
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: the time he made it quite a sizable withdrawal.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: I thought maybe he was a little unhappy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: With our service.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: How much was it withdraws?
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: See here it is November twenty seventh. He withdrew twenty
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: four hundred dollars.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Was that in cash or in travelers checks?
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: I show to hear that it was in cash. Mister Harrison.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You said a minute ago that you knew mister didn't
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: pretty well.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: He used to stop and chat with me whenever he'd
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: come in the bank. That was usually once a week.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: I didn't know him socially, though. You mentioned he seemed
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: to take his wife's death pretty hard. Yeah, what would
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: you say his mental condition was last time doing all right?
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I'd say just after his wife's death. He wasn't in
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: very good shape. Brooded about it quite a bit, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: he began to pull out of it. Seemed to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: in a fairly good friend of mind, planned its vacation.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: He was looking forward to it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And I see, why do you ask something wrong?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Sure, not that we know of. Routine checked, that's about
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the size. Does Dylan have any other real estate besides
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the house on Rosson Avenue? Would you have know that?
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: Not?
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: To my knowledge.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: No, he has no other business connections in Los Angeles.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Here are all the references right here. See most of
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: them are charge accounts and so forth. I remember the
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: time he opened his account with us.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: He told me he was retired. He and his wife
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: came out here for their health.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Do they have any relatives out here? Do you know, Michai?
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: No, from what I understand, both of their families are
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: in the East. You don't have any children, according to
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: his application, very few relatives.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And since Dylan was in here last November to make
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that withdrawal, and you've had no communications from him at all?
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: No, sir, I haven't what seems to be the trouble.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Do you have an idea something might be wrong?
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Nothing definite. No, we've been told about his feeling depressed
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: over his wife's death, and there was some indication he
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: might possibly have done away with himself after what chtold.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: This doesn't seem too lightly.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't like to commit myself. As I say.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: He didn't seem to be getting over it. I didn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: know him.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That well though.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: It might be entirely possibly he was devoted to missus Fillon.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Maybe he could have picked his own life. I don't know.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it leaves a big question to answered. Let's say,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: why do you need the twenty four hundred dollars to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: do it? One t five PM we continued interviewing the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: bank manager, mister Harrison, but he was unable to come
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: up with any further leads. Before we left the bank,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: he gave us a complete list of all of Chester
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Dillon's references. We gave him our card and he told
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: us he would pass along immediately any information he might
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: get on the whereabouts of mister Dylan. One five we
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: went back to the office, where we got a call
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: from Lucille Banner. She gave us Dylan's last known address
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and we drove out to check. It was an apartment
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: court in the Pico Crenshaw area. We talked to the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: manager and she told us that Dylan had moved out
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: three months before, on November twenty second. He told her
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that he was moving in with a close friend of his,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and he gave her his forwarding address. It turned out
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to be a single story framed cottage located in one
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: of the older residential districts of the city. The name
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: on the mail box read Raymond L. Shaffer. We rang
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the bell and a man who identified himself as Raymond
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Shafer ushered us into a small living room. He told
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: us that he was from the same town in the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: east that the Dylans came from, and that he was
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a longtime friend of theirs.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: No, I haven't seen Chester for months. Last November, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: think it was the last time I saw him.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: You say at that time, Dylan was living in the
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: apartment done in the Friends show areamsh Yeah, that's right.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You mean he never came here to live with you. No,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it's just like I told you before.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: He talked about moving in here with me, but he
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: never did.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Haven't any idea where he is. Well. He gave your
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: name here as a forwarding address, Shaffer. If you've been
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: getting his mail.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I have. He told
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: me he was going to do that. Never came to
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: pick it up, though.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Seemed funny to me.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You're still getting his man here.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Is that right?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: It's still coming. Not much of it, may be a
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: letter a week, mostly builds and advertisment.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: This list of names you've given us, sir, these are
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: all the people in the east. Mister Dylon was acquainted
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: with people in attacking his trip back there, that's all.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm as far as I know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: He hadn't been back there yet, though.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: How do you know that I've got a letter.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: From my sister Gert a couple of days ago at
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: Chester was in town. Girt would have known about it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: He would have been sure to stop buy and see it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: I wish I could help you tell you the truth.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: I'll get a little worried about it myself.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Well, just have one more question, mister Shaever, you know
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: if mister Dylan was in the habit of carrying large
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: sums of money around with him.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: No, I don't think so. Chester was pretty cautious that way.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: He wasn't too free with a dollar.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: You know, wold you'd happen to know if he had
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a large sum of money with him the last time
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you saw him. No, if he did, he didn't mention it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: I see. You can't think of anything else that might
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: give us a leader on mister Dinnon's worry about anything
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: I think I've told you everything. I wish it was
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: something I could tell you that it helped. I sure
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: hope nothing's happened to him.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, And would you mind showing us that in
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: there you're holding for dinner flee?
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: Oh sure, sir, he's right over here in the desk.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Here you are. That's all.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I thank you?
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Anything, Joe or not much?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Bills circulars. There's one with a New York post may
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Al Maya, probably from his sister. Another one only three
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: days old from the Union Department store. A couple more
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: earlier dates on him. That's about it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll copy down and return that. Addresses on fine,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: mister Shaffer. Yeah, this suitcase for the desk here, initials
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: on it, cold Yeah, CLD.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Is that your bag? Shaver?
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: Oh no, I forgot to tell you a chest to
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: left that here one day?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: How was there? Well, that was one day just.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: Before he was going to leave on his vacation he
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: brought over here and said he'd like to leave it
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: with me.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Forgot to mention it today.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Do you bring anything else with him?
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he brought another suitcase with him, just like this
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: one I got in the other room. He said he
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: wanted to leave him here while he was on his vacation.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry I forgot to mention it, or.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe you forgot something else, Shaver? What most people take
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: their suitcases on a trip, don't they? Two thirty pm
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: we continued questioning Raymond Shaffer. We opened the two suitcases
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: labeled with the initials of Chester Dyllon and found an
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: assortment of personal items which Shaffer told us belonged to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Dylan and his late wife. Small pictures, cigarette boxes, books,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: similar articles, which apparently would not be taken on a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: vacation trip. None of them were of any great value.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: After we left Shafer's home, we checked him through R
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and I and found he had no criminal record. We
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: checked further with friends and acquaintances of both men and
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: found nothing to indicate that Shaffer was in any way
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: involved in the disappearance of Chester Dylon. Three point thirty
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: pm we called the office and found that there's been
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: no answer so far to the broadcast and missing person's
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: bullets that we'd gotten out on Dylan. We started checking
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: your references given us by the bank. First was the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Union Department store. It was located on Main Street in
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the south end of town. We checked with a credit
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: department to see what information we could get from them.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Yes, here's the fire on the Dylan's right here, mister
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: Ellan s Jay on Rushton Avenue. What information would you like?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: So we're trying to locate mister Dylon, ma'am. If you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: had any recent change of address on that account.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: No, we haven't.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: If they moved, you know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Well we believe so. We don't know his present address.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: So we do have an outstanding bill of theirs. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: noticed them several form letters. Have been trying to contact
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: them ourselves.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Have there been any recent charges on that account?
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: You know, nothing too recent. No, last charge was made
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: on December fifth, Yes, Thursday, December fifth.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: That's a couple of weeks after we disappeared.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You yeah, sorry, what was that charge for? Man? What
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: did mister Dylan buy?
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, mister Dylan didn't buy anything. The slip was signed
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: by missus Dylon.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: You are listening to Dragnet authentic stories of your police force.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: And action.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Four fifteen pm, Thursday, February seventh. As soon as the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: clerk in the credit department at the Union Department store
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: showed us the sales slip with the late missus Sarah
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Dillon's signature on it, we had the date on the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: sales slip double checked immediately. The data shown on the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: slip was correct beyond any doubt, December fifth. That was
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a little more than two and a half months after
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Sarah Dillon had died. Who the person was who forged
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: her signature or why they'd forged it, we had no idea.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The amount of the charge purchases shown on the sales
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: slip was for four hundred and eighteen dollars, all of
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: it for women's clothing. We attempted to check with the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: salesgirl who handle the purchase, a Laura van Kirk, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we were told it was her day off. We called
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: her home, they told us that she was gone for
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the day and couldn't be located. They said she'd be
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: at work the following morning. Four forty pm. Then and
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I took the sales slip with a forged signature on it,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and drove back to the office. We went directly to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: forgery Detail, briefed them on our findings, and gave them
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the sales slip. Then we drove back to the home
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: of the Dylan's friend, Raymond Shaffer, and checked through the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: two suitcases. There we came up with a small photo
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: of missus Dylan, along with exemplars of her handwriting, as
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: well as her husbands, which we found in an autograph
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: album in one of the suitcases. The handwriting samples were
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: checked against the signature on the sales slip, but neither
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: of them matched. The work of compiling a list of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: all known female forgery suspects was begun immediately. The following morning,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Gun and I went back to the Union Department store,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: where we interviewed the salesgirl, Laura van Kirk, who'd handled
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the purchase.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Yes, I remember making this sale officer. I'm not too
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: sure about the woman who brought the things, though, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: mean what she looked like.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Well, could you try to describe her force, Miss then
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Kirks as well as you can remember.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: She had light round here.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure that not too old, maybe in her
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: late thirties early forties. She was a plain looking woman
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: five foot five or six. Then, as I remember, she
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: wore glasses. I remember that too.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I see you got that picture, miss delamare Ben.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Here would you take a look at this picture? Miss?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: How does that look like a woman you waited on?
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: No, no, that's not her. The woman I weighed on
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: was much younger. She had light brown hair too, not gray,
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: thin face I think, And she walked glasses.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I'm sure that you remember if there was a man
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: with him, Miss Vankirk, or was she alone?
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: No, she was alone, now that I remember. There was
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: something very different about the glasses she wore. I don't
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: know if that's important or not.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: What about her glasses?
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: They were horn rimmed, as I remember, very light color,
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: and there was some metalwork along the top edge of
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: the frame, very smart looking gold metal along the top.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Light brown hair, slight bill, thin face. Late thirties and
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: early forties were light, horn rimmed glasses and gold metal
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: on the frame.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's right.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Check me if I'm wrong, Joe. That descriptions done familiar,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Just what I was thinking. Horn rim glasses, metal work
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: on the woman who came to see us at the oven. Yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: you got a little Seal Banner.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Then and I went back to the office and had
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: low Seal Banner checked your r and ey. She had
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: no criminal record. Then we drove to the home on
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Ralston Avenue which Chester Dillon had leased to Lucille Banner
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and which she in turn had sub left. We obtained
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: a copy of the lease which the Banner woman had
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: with the current tenants and which bore her signature. We
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: brought the copy of the lease downtown, gave it to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Don Meyer and Handwriting and asked him to compare Lucille
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Banner's signature with the signature on the sales slip that
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: we'd obtained from the Union Department store. Fifteen minutes later,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: he called us at the office with a result.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Don, that's up. You are right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks. Hell what do you get?
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Says There's no question in his mind, Yeah, both signatures
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: match perfectly.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: What the reason was behind Lucille Banners forging the signature
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: of missus dllon on the sales slip, We didn't know
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: whether or not it had any connection with the disappearance
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: of Chester Dillon. We didn't know. As soon as we
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: got the handwriting report from Don Meyer, Ben and I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: left the office immediately and drove to the bungalow which
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the Banner woman was renting on Ralston Avenue. It was
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a block down the street from the Dylan house. Lucille
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Banner wasn't at home, but a neighborhood gardener trimming the
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: lawn in front of her high house told us that
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: she was expected back shortly. The gardener, who identified himself
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: only as Julio, volunteered that he also did gardening work
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: for Miss Banner when she occupied the Dylan home. He'd
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: also worked for the Dylans when they lived in the house.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: He told us he liked the Dylans quite a bit,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: but he didn't have much use for Miss Banner. He
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: seemed to be up on all the news in the neighborhood.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: He trimmed the hedges of the lawn with hands shears
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: as we talked to him.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Can you tell us anything about Miss Dylan and Miss
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Banner and Julia? How did the same to get along?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Did they get along all right?
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: I guess when I worked at the big house down
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: there from Miss Banner, that's before she moved, I would
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: see mister Dillon there. He would be at the house
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: maybe once two times a week. This, Kanna would ask
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: him to come over cook dinner for him. Miss Banner
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: likes him, might think, mister Dylan, I don't know about him.
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: He wasn't feelings so good, still thinking about his wife. Yeah,
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: I finish up this clipping. Now there all done.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: You mentioned you don't like miss Banner very much, Julia,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Why is that she ever give you a reason not
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to like her.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: She's a little crazy, i'd think, funny woman. When I
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: used to work at the Big House for her in
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: the garden, she would watch me all the time, follow
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: me all around, tell me to do all kind.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Of crazy jobs.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: She can be good play though, So I do.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: That, honey, mean Julia, what kind of crazy?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Joe?
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: The compost box for fertilizer?
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: You know, she wanted me to build one for her
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: in the backyard. That was down the street at the
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: Dylon house. Crazy woman, she wanted me to build a
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: compost box in the greenhouse.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I'm a special place mart for whoever heard of that?
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: To build a compost box inside the greenhouse? Crazy?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: What did you build it for?
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: It is but not inside the greenhouse. I built it
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: outside right next door to the greenhouse. When she come
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: out saw she goes crazy, almost call me names crazy.
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: She made me tear it up. Then she made me
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: build the inside the greenhouse right on the place she had.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Mark for it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: And when it always happened, Julia, do you remember when
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: you built a compost box? I mean a couple of.
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: Months ago about that. It was just after mister Dylon
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: went away. I tried to tell him its banter. Who
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: ever heard of a compost box in a greenhouse? She
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: wouldn't listen. She had to have a building a certain
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: place right in the greenhouse, a little piece of ground,
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: and the box had to go right on top of
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: her her.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: You figured she acted pretty strange about it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: Do you think she had something there?
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Little piece of ground?
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: You think she I sup at the.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: High one fifteen, DM Lucille Banner returned home and Ben
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: and I went inside the house Winner where we questioned
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: her in the living room. Outside in the front yard,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the gardener Julio continued working on the lawn. Lucille Banner
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: was calm and composed. We questioned her about the forged
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: signature on the sales slip. She would admit nothing.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: The whole thing's too silly to even comment on. I
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: don't know what you're talking about. Target.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: We think you do, Miss Banner.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Our handwriting man is checked the two signatures, one on
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the sailor slip and went on the lease. They both met.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: They were written with the same person, there's no doubt
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: about it, and checked her.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Know what about it, Miss Banner, There's no way out
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of it. You ought to know that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I'll deny it. That's all. I'll keep on denying it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: I wasn't in that story, and I didn't forge any signatures.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Why would I do a thing like that. What kind
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: of a woman do you think I am?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: We know are the facts, ma'am? Now, why don't you
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: give us a straight story. It's going to save time
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and trouble for everybody concerned.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: I've heard everything you've got to say. This thing's ridiculous,
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: it's stupid. I'm not answering any more questions.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: You want to get your hat and code, Miss Banner,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: for you not to come downtown win her?
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: What good's that going to do. I'll just keep on denying.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: If you can't make me say out of a thing
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: like that, please strike here.
• 24:03

  Speaker 6: But are you trying to say, you've got no business
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: on this property. You've got no business here at all.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am. What did you kill Jessterdylan? Did you Kenny Man?
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Julia?
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The compost box in the greenhouse.
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: Do you want to start digging the compost box?
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: He was an old man, so old, he was sick.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: He didn't want to live anymore. He didn't have any
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: reason for living. Why shouldn't give me the house? Why
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: shouldn't I have his money? I was nice to him,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: I cooked for him, wanted to take care of him.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: He just didn't want to live anymore.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: That's all all right, Julia.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: You can't hold it up.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: You want to tell us man he needed a woman.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Anybody could tell that he needed me. He got a
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: long sign testing me. He offered to marry him, and
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: he wouldn't do it. I wanted to do was think
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: about his wife. She was dead. He'd sit around and
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: talk about her all the time.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: You killed him, I want you trying to say I wanted.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: To marry Chester and take care of him. Wouldn't do it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: He had an argument in the kitchen one night. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: had a gun and I killed him. I killed him.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Is that where you buried him in the greenhouse?
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Yes, I buried him deep the gun too. He'll be
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: all right, poor Chester.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was so old he.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Needed a woman and he'll tell you that and needed me.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I guess you made a mistake, No, sir, he did.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't want me.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: The star you have just heard was true. The names
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: On June, second trial was held in Superior Court Department
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: eighty six, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: In a moment the results of that trial, Lucille Marie
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Banner was tried and convicted of murder in the first degree.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: She received the sentence as prescribed by law. She is
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: now serving a life term in the State Penitentiary for
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Women to hatch Apee, California. You have just heard Dragnet
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: a series of authentic cases from official files. Technical advice
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: comes from the Office of Chief of Police W. H. Parker,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles Police Department.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: They tuned for Counterspy next on NBC.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well an interesting case.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether it was somehow the way that
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: this episode concluded. From having heard this episode as well
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: seen it before, although it's been a few years since
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I've encountered this at all, But the whole arrangement about
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: having her fold his checks and give them when they
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: got back was a bit suspicious because as a landlord,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you're taking a big risk that something might come up
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and the money might get spent, And even as a renter,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of that, because it just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: messes up your book keeping to have this extra money
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: in the bank that you're gonna have to pay out,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: although her subleasing the house might solve that problem, but
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: still it seems to me that it would make a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: lot more sense for her to deposit checks into his
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: bank account than to hold checks for an indeterminate amount
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: of time. Though I guess if she was going for
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the suicide narrative, it might make sense of him just
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: not thinking clearly. But still, once the evidence came forward
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that really disproved that, I think they should have started
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: thinking of her. And probably one of the only times
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that I kind of question the sort of rote procedure
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that they end up following of beginning the work of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: compiling a list of all known female forgery suspects. I mean,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I guess it might take quite a while to get
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the list together, and it might be a case of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: better to have it and not need it than need
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: it and not have it. But still it seems less
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: likely that a generic female forgery suspects going to be
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the key to this case, and more specifically someone who
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: had in some way interact did with the missing man
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: or his wife. But I guess there's a certain amount
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of box checking that you just have to do on
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: police procedure. No matter how like unlikely, it's going to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: be fruitful. All right, Well, now it's time to thank
