Oh, Lieutenant, I've 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.439 been trying to see you on this lot for that thing. 4 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.119 What's your connection? Dollar? I'm investigating for the National Underwriters. 5 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:20.679 Oh did you know Thompson? Yeah? Too bad. I'll be 6 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.839 tied up till after lunch. You want to get together then, 7 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.920 anything I can do in the meantime, No, thanks, but 8 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.839 enjoy the weather. Dollar. I don't think you'll enjoy the case. 9 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.880 I'll see you in my office about two, right, Lieutenant 10 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.439 John Lunn. Then the transcribed Adventure of the Man with 11 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.960 the Action Packed Expense a Car, America's Fabulous freelance Insurance Investigator, 12 00:00:44.119 --> 00:01:01.200 Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accunt submitted by Special Investigator 13 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.319 Johnny Dollar to Home Office National Underwriters, Hartford, Connecticut. The 14 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.480 following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of 15 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:16.040 the LaTourette matter expenser count out of one ninety seven 16 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:27.000 dollars and fifty cents airfare and incidentals between Hartford and Denver. 17 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.239 I arrived at six thirty in the morning with a cold, 18 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.079 sun filled dawn. I reacquainted myself with a mile highest 19 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.560 city at the airport restaurant, where I drank coffee and 20 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.439 waited for my luggage. I'd been there once before on 21 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.519 a case in nineteen forty seven, but the denver I 22 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.599 saw this time was a great deal different figure filled out, 23 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.400 bustling towns like people change. I arranged to rent a 24 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.400 car from the Avis people and drove on into the 25 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.120 city itself. There I checked in at the Cosmopolitan, showered 26 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.079 and shaved, and waited until nine o'clock before I rang 27 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.120 Bessie Thompson's room. Oh, Johnny Dollar. 28 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.719 Bessie, Oh you're here. 29 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.240 Yeah. As a matter of fact, in the same hotel, 30 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.800 same case. 31 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.319 Tommy was working on. Yeah, be careful, Johnny. Everybody seems 32 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.919 to die. Who has anything to do with us? 33 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.240 Why don't I buy you some ham and eggs? 34 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:21.960 Why not. 35 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.560 Expense account item too? Four dollars and no, no, I 36 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.719 guess not. This one was on me buying breakfast for 37 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.479 the widow of the man who died on the case 38 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.080 I was taking over. Was a difficult meal. I buried 39 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:42.479 him here. 40 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.039 Yeah, I would have taken his body back to Hartford 41 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.240 with the expenses and all. 42 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.439 Besides, it doesn't really make. 43 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.039 Any difference where you're buried. Ground was frozen here too. 44 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.479 I hear they have to use jackhammers. 45 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.159 What happens now, Bessie. 46 00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.840 I haven't anything to stay around here for. I guess 47 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.800 go home, try and get a plane out sometime today. 48 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.280 Maybe that'll be better. 49 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.400 I'm three two now and I'm still attractive. I suppose 50 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.800 some man'll come along. 51 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.520 Even then, Persie, what's this? 52 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.199 You tell me where it is? The coroner said that 53 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.599 Tommy might have been drunk, but he wandered out on 54 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.120 the highway, and that the driver of the car that 55 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:22.759 hit him could have done it not even known it. 56 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.240 I know Tommy drank, but not like that. 57 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.879 Or did he what do you mean? 58 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.439 You were with him for three weeks in Omaha last 59 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.120 year when he was away from home from me Johnny? 60 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:38.280 Was he? 61 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.319 I mean, did he drink a lot and get around? 62 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.639 I never saw him do anything like that, Bessie. Honest, honest. 63 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.520 Don't let him know. 64 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.199 He was in love with you, Bessie, and he didn't 65 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.800 care who knew it. Don't torment yourself with thoughts like that. 66 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.080 We're awful right way, I mean, women. 67 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.120 I think you're wonderful that way. Too, thanks. 68 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.599 Tommy was murdered, Johnny. It couldn't have been a hit 69 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.759 and run accident, and they aren't doing anything about it. 70 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.919 They haven't found. 71 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.199 Out a thing. 72 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.040 Oh easy, honey, they're working on it. 73 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.319 You know that it's all tied into that, not to 74 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.480 let men. Tommy found out something and he was killed 75 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:23.680 for finding it out. 76 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.680 Bessie, I'll have to tell you right now. What reports 77 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.680 Tommy sent in on Lautarette don't make him responsible in 78 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.079 any way. Then why are you here just to wrap 79 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:34.920 up the details. 80 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:36.120 I see. 81 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.079 There'd have to be something more than what we have now. 82 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.680 Then there is something more. Tommy phoned long distance the 83 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:44.639 night before he was killed. He said he thought he'd 84 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:45.399 be coming home in a. 85 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.680 Couple of days. You say anything about the case, No, 86 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.879 but he was coming home. 87 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.439 That meant he had it about finished. 88 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.560 He sent in a report the day before he was killed. 89 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.600 There was nothing, but the police didn't find any report 90 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.519 for that day in his room. Did he get out 91 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.879 to that place on the Golden Road? Who was he with, Johnny? 92 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.839 He was killed. He had something on someone in this case, 93 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:07.600 and he was killed. 94 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:13.240 If he was, we'll find it out, all right. Where's 95 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.959 he buried Crown Hills Cemetery. I'll send some flowers out there. 96 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.399 Get the man who ran him down. 97 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.519 He liked that a whole lot better. Yeah, guess he would. 98 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.040 I suppose I was trying to tell her in the 99 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.639 gentlest way. I knew that men do go out to 100 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.120 taverns and drink, but occasionally they do drink too much, 101 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.519 and that it was entirely possible that Tommy Thompson had 102 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.680 been killed is reported and not for any information or 103 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.720 investigating connected with Frank Latrette. When I met and talked 104 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.759 with Lieutenant Mapes at two o'clock, he confirmed this, here's 105 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.319 the report from our arson man. Uh huh, and this 106 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.000 is from homicide. Uh huh. You can take those copies 107 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.000 with you if you like. Had him made up for you. 108 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.920 Thank you very much, Lieutenant. The fire was reported by 109 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.560 a passer by about two o'clock last Wednesday morning. By 110 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.720 the time the trucks got there, the whole bookstore was 111 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.959 in flames. When they broke in, they found this a 112 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.240 lot Forrest's body. She'd suffocated in the smoke. Her husband 113 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.759 said she'd been there working on the books. There was 114 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.680 no evidence that her death was anything but accidental. And 115 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.800 in the opinion of our arson man, the fire was 116 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.279 caused by a cigarette. She fell asleep working in the 117 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.839 office and the police caught fire. But if your man 118 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.240 Thompson probably sent you all this, isn't he? Yeah, the 119 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.360 fire policy had to be investigating. Now as far as 120 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.240 Thompson's death goes, we're looking for a hit and run artist. 121 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.639 The people who operate the tavern out there said he 122 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.639 absolutely was not in there that night, and any rate, 123 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.519 we don't have to go on that assumption because we 124 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.399 haven't been able to dig up anyone who can say 125 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.360 he was there that night. The tavern people could be lying. 126 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.279 Thompson could have gone in there, gotten himself loaded, and 127 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.600 walked out in front of a car. They'd be in 128 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.240 licensed trouble if that happened. Yeah. Sure. On the other hand, 129 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.439 we would just have to assume Thompson wasn't in that 130 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.519 tavern at all. And what was he doing out on 131 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.480 the Golden Road. I don't know, you know, how he 132 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.160 got there. I haven't found that out either. Still checking 133 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.759 the cab company. He might have been with someone, Well, 134 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.480 he might have, but I don't know that either. Dollar. 135 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.959 I suppose you have wondered if it could be connected 136 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.519 with a lots of ret Oh. Yes, I've wondered. When 137 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.600 a man in the same business dies like that, you're 138 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.240 bound to wonder. Wondering about things is one of our hazards. Dollars. Well, 139 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:32.920 you have it all right there, Since a lot of 140 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.839 Toorette stands to collect about eighty thousand dollars fire damages 141 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.560 and seventeen thousand on his wife's death, he's been gone 142 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.439 into twice. Now, your man Thompson did a lot of it. 143 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.040 We did a lot of it. Yep. Now, the night 144 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.319 of the fire, a lot of Tourette was bowling over 145 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.879 the place on Glen Arm. Seventeen witnesses saw him there. 146 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.480 He's in good financial shape, doesn't know anybody to die. 147 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:58.920 The neighbors tell us he's always had a nice home 148 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.560 life boy who plays football in one of our high schools. 149 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.839 So why look at La Torett anymore? Yeah, but but 150 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.800 you're a man. Thompson was killed looking into him. Is 151 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.600 that it? That's it? Lieutenant Thompson's wife's in town. She 152 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.120 buried him yesterday and she's pretty broken up. Sure she is. 153 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.000 I talked to her at the funeral. Her husband died 154 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.959 hard and cold out on a lonely road, and they 155 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.519 we say he was drunk and got in front of 156 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.040 a car. But in spite of the questions, we were 157 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.399 just starting around about how he got out there on 158 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.240 the Golden Road and what he was doing there. It 159 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.720 still looks like a hit and run on a drunk 160 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.279 and I had seen her about ending. No, no, I 161 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.799 should say not. We want to find the bird who 162 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.720 ran Thompson down. And if there isn't enough in those 163 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.840 reports to satisfy you that the fire was an accident, 164 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.080 that missus La Tourette's death was an accident, and that 165 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.360 Thompson's death was what we say it is, then just 166 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.799 sound your horn. I'm around all day and I'm opened 167 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.120 any kind of subject. Okay, that sounds fair enough with him, 168 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:12.039 I might give you a ring, right. I spent the 169 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:13.960 rest of the day in my hotel room going over 170 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.320 the bulky envelope of police reports. I compared them with 171 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.879 information Thompson had forwarded to the office before he had 172 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.799 been killed. No matter how you looked at it, the 173 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.919 whole business was a story of tragedy, of violence in death. 174 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.159 Mapes was right. I wasn't enjoying the case and I 175 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.320 was anxious to close it. It was dark by the 176 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.000 time I got out to park Hill and found the 177 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.559 Lottorette home. Through the drawn shades of the living room, 178 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.360 I saw the figure of a man. He didn't move, 179 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:52.080 and I used the doorbell. Hey, Hello, in there, Hello, 180 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.720 Who is it? My name's Dollar, mister Lotorette. He won't 181 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.240 be back until tomorrow. I wonder if I could leave 182 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:00.720 some papers for him, a sign. 183 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:02.240 Leave him at the door. 184 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.720 I'll get him play it. There was something about the voice, 185 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.519 the strain and shakiness in it that worried me. I 186 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.840 didn't leave the papers outside the door, merely tried the knob. 187 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.879 All right, you made if you have Hey, what is this? 188 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.960 Why the shotgun?

Why's get that from now to the day 194 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:47.759 I died, I'll get your hands up up buck, you 195 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.000 might still be alive. You could call a doctor him 196 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.000 dead and make sure. I don't know who you are, 197 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.320 why you did this, But you'll never get away. With it, 198 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.200 they'll catch her. Who cares? You better give me that shotgun. 199 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.600 Don't try to get close to me all. 200 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:06.159 Who are you. 201 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:12.840 I'm an insurance investigator. My name is Dollar, with the dollar. 202 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.000 I don't quite know what to do about you. Give 203 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:20.200 me the guy who knows. Oh no, this little baby's 204 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.120 got more work to do tonight, Yes, sir, just a 205 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.879 little more work. Why did you kill him? He killed 206 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:27.440 a man and a woman. I guess that gives me 207 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.879 a right to turn around and kill him. What man? 208 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.720 What woman? Somebody you probably know, a man named Thompson. 209 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:40.360 He ran over him the other night. Oh sure, he 210 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.679 ran him down with a car because mister Thompson found 211 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.559 out about a woman, his lady love Well, he had 212 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.960 what a real pretty lady mother to set a fire 213 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.559 so they could be together. I'll see that they get 214 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:59.200 together real soon. Your mother. Your name is Latored. 215 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.679 That's it. 216 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:07.360 There's a lot of red. That's my old manline that 217 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.840 we'll return to, yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. In just a 218 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:40.720 moment now, with our star John Lennon, we bring you 219 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:57.480 the second act of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Bruce Laughtoette 220 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.200 was young, and he was obviously out of his head 221 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.559 with fear, but in spite of it, he held out 222 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.360 of the shotgun. Turn around. Look, Bruce, this won't tell 223 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.399 you any good. You can't get away with a thing 224 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.080 like this. Turn around, I turn around. 225 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:09.360 Go on. 226 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.399 You're gonna shoot me the way you did him. You're 227 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.559 gonna have to work on it a little harder. I 228 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.639 won't turn around and die that. I don't want to 229 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.200 shoot till you haven't done anything to me. 230 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:18.360 Now. 231 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.440 I told you to turn around. 232 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:19.759 Do it. 233 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.440 He didn't do anything to you either, but your shot up. 234 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.279 He killed my mother. 235 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.080 He couldn't have killed her. The police checked him. The 236 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.919 police don't know about Evelyn. Nobody knows about Evelyn's but me. 237 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.759 She burned the story down and he might as well 238 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.080 have done it. Evelyn, Evelyn who I'm gonna kill her too, 239 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.559 And I'll shoot you if you don't stop right where 240 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:43.399 you are. I don't want it, but I will. I'll 241 00:13:43.519 --> 00:14:11.200 stay there. Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, give me the police hurry. 242 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.399 I gave a license number and the description of the 243 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.600 car with the falling, along with the other information on 244 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:22.240 Bruce Latorette. Several Prowl cars arrived, but there was nothing 245 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.600 that could be done for Frank Lottorette. I waited for 246 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:32.600 lieutenant mates. We sure pitched this one wrong. Lord, Yeah, 247 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.399 everybody didn't, eh eight fifteen. I thought they'd pick up 248 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.879 that kid by now. Apb's been oun since shoophoned. Shouldn't 249 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.120 be too hard to spot. He wants to kill somebody 250 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.000 named Evelyn, and he looked pretty determined. I never saw 251 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.120 such a thing in my life. You suppose he's dreamed, Alla, 252 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.200 I don't know well enough. Lattarette might've had a woman 253 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.399 who helped him burn down the store and kill his wife. 254 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.039 He might've had to kill Thompson when Thompson found out 255 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.080 about it. That's the part that makes it no dream teller. 256 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.879 If we don't have that kid in her hands, pretty 257 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.399 soon we'll be standing in another room someplace looking at 258 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.200 another corpse tonight. Yeah, I know, how could we miss it? 259 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.519 Who's Evelyn? Why didn't any of these people in the 260 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.519 neighborhood know anything about it when we questioned around? I 261 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:23.440 don't know. Let's see Ferrell and Hayes, Doug Whiner, Come on, Willie, 262 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.120 let's talk to these neighbors again. Okay, boy, what i'd 263 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.120 give for one gossiping old lady who knew everybody's business. 264 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.360 You mean, who knew somebody named Evelyn? Yeah, I guess 265 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:41.240 that's what I mean. An hour of questioning in the 266 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.799 neighborhood revealed no one who had any knowledge of Frank 267 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.840 Latoret's association with a woman whose first name was Evelyn. 268 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.960 Bruce Latorette seemed to have completely disappeared somewhere within the city. However, 269 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.240 at ten point fifteen, a young girl walked into police 270 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.200 headquarters and asked to see Lieutenant Mapes. I was in 271 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.440 the office when she was ushered in. What's her name? 272 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.480 Miss Dorothy P. Kelly as a mister dollar, I'm lieutenant 273 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.039 makes How do you do at the desk? They said 274 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.200 you had some information about Bruce Lottrette. Isn't that right? 275 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.360 What would you do to him? 276 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.240 Try and stop him from killing another person? He's already 277 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.000 killed his father. 278 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.799 Yes, I know, I heard it on the newscast at 279 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.360 nine o'clock. 280 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.399 I want to sit on Thank you. You know Bruce, Yes, 281 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.039 we go to school together. 282 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.639 I don't know exactly how to tell you this. 283 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:34.840 It isn't easy. 284 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.879 I mean I've heard Bruce talk about it ever since 285 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.080 his mother was killed. In the fire last week. I 286 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:42.360 maybe I shouldn't have come. 287 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:42.919 Down here at all. 288 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.840 Well, if it'll help us stop him from killing someone else, 289 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.799 he did the right thing. You know where Bruce is Dorothy. 290 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.759 No, honest, I don't know that. I tell you if 291 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.159 I knew. 292 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.279 What has Bruce been talking about? Dorothy? 293 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.600 Well, he was pretty upset about his mother's dad. He 294 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.159 to be pretty high. Yes, he was out of school 295 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.799 all last week, and then when he came back this week, 296 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.200 we had lunch together one day. He hardly ate anything, 297 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.079 just sort of sat there staring out. 298 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.119 You know, did he say anything? 299 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.480 Not At first. He used to talk to me all 300 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.839 the time. I mean, we're a pretty good friend. Oh gosh, 301 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.480 if my mother knew I was mixed up in. 302 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.079 This, we'll talk to your mother, darthy On. 303 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.680 Well, Bruce was sitting there and all of a sudden, 304 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.279 he said they killed her. I thought he was crazy. 305 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.640 I said, who killed her? And he said that his 306 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.799 father and somebody named Evelyn killed her. He said that 307 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.599 Evelyn set fire to the store and that his mother 308 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.920 couldn't get out. He said his father had been seeing 309 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.720 Evelyn for a long time. And he also said, tell 310 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.759 me about telling all this to a man named Thompson, 311 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:48.160 and that Thompson. 312 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.319 Was killed too. 313 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:49.880 Did he tell you who Evelyn was? 314 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:50.720 No, sir? 315 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.799 Did they say where she lived? 316 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:52.319 No? 317 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.720 Did he mention her last name? 318 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.279 Gosh, I don't remember. I think he just called her Evelyn. 319 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.440 Nothing else about her? No, sir? 320 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:00.359 Wait? 321 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.880 God, is she teaches skiing? 322 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.920 Well? He said he met her once with his father 323 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.359 when he was skiing. Is she's a ski instructor somewhere? 324 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.599 Does that help you? 325 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:19.720 I need it? Might? It did help. Three quarters of 326 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.799 an hour later, the owner of a sporting goods store, 327 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.440 remember the woman named Evelyn Ward who had skiing classes 328 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.720 on weekends. He located an address for her in North Denver, 329 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.599 and I drove out there with Lieutenant Mates. He was 330 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.160 a tall, plain looking woman in her early thirties. What 331 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.200 is it, miss Evelyn Water? Yes, believed like to talk 332 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.079 to you for a minute. What about may we come in? Yes? 333 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:50.359 You know a man named Frank LaTourette. No boy, his 334 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:55.160 son shot him to death side. Do you know him? Ms? Water? 335 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.079 No? 336 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.359 Why are you here telling me this? 337 00:18:59.000 --> 00:18:59.519 Don't you know? 338 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:00.119 Oh? 339 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.559 I don't know. I had no idea. 340 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.400 I was there right after mister LaTourette was killed. His 341 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.799 son said he was going to kill a woman named Evelyn. 342 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.880 He's still loose. What are you doing talking to everyone 343 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.160 named Evelyn? You're going You didn't know a lot Tourette. 344 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.240 You don't have anything to worry about. If you're lying 345 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:20.279 to us, you're liable to get killed. He came by 346 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.400 because we thought you might be the one he's after. 347 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:24.440 We don't have a lot of time. 348 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:26.279 I don't know anyone named Latouette. 349 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.200 And you're okay, sorry to evolisee him. That's all right, 350 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:41.240 good night, good night night. The pouting mouth, the plain face, 351 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.559 the tall, ungainly person of Evelyn Water didn't fit the 352 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.400 role of a homebreaker, a murderous but we sat in 353 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.039 the car across the street from our house mates, put 354 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:53.920 in a call for two more cars to come out. 355 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.599 It really didn't get sunny all day to day. And 356 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:04.119 this is a pretty lousy night. Nothing to say. Nope, 357 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.599 sure you do. You could be in a nice, warm 358 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.000 hotel room getting a head full of sleep right now. 359 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.599 I can do that anytime. Right now. I wanna be 360 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.039 around when somebody talks about a fire. My company has 361 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.759 an eighty thousand dollars claim on and the murder and 362 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:27.039 Tommy's murder, Oh the whole thing. Tommy's wife this morning, 363 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.480 wondering if he played around with other women, the kids 364 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.480 standing there shaking and crying and killing, and how to 365 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.720 do more killing. I'd like to sleep. I don't think 366 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.119 I could wonder where the kid went to. Should have 367 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.400 had him right now if he stuck with a car 368 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.359 at all?
