Did you ask him where he was calling from? 345 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 15: Yes, yes, I asked him right off that he was 346 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,720 coming from a restaurant. 347 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 7: Rest at this time of find what he said, Missus Wrigl. 348 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,400 While you were listening, did you hear anything over the 349 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680 phone that might suggest a restaurant, you know, dishes, rattling 350 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:01,200 pots and pans. No, and he sounded street cars going by. 351 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 15: Oh no, Now, there's nothing out of the phone except 352 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,440 Albert's voice. I guess there haven't been much of a help, 353 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,200 mister Melnick. 354 00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:11,599 Speaker 7: On the contrary, Missus Wriggl, you have. You've been a 355 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:25,920 mighty big help. In fact, you've just given me an idea. 356 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:28,839 Speaker 6: So you've got a hunch on where the killer is. 357 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: Sam. 358 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,599 Speaker 7: That's right.

So there aren't very many 362 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,440 restaurants in Casey open at that time of night. Some sure, 363 00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:46,640 they're mostly on the main streets, and you've got power 364 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,000 cars patrolling them. It stands the reason that Norton wouldn't 365 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,039 take a chance exposing himself and missus Wrigle heard no 366 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,039 street cars or anything like that. In other words, In 367 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:58,799 other words, John, the killer wasn't calling from a restaurant 368 00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:01,400 at all. He was from a private home. 369 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 6: Hey, that's interesting, Sam Very, You know how many private 370 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,480 homes there are in Kansas City. 371 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 7: Sure, but my hunch is that the killer was calling 372 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,759 from his own home. 373 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,599 Speaker 6: Oh not that old cliche about the killer returning to 374 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,559 the scene of his crime. 375 00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 16: I know, I said it was only a hunch. I 376 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,160 can't back it up with anything concrete. Still, Still, what 377 00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:27,440 he might have gone back to his own house. You're 378 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,119 holding the rest of his family down here under protective custody, 379 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,920 and the house was empty. Anyway, I'm going to have 380 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,000 a look. Gotta come along time. 381 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:42,039 Speaker 6: Maybe i'd better your hunch turned up right and I 382 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,480 wasn't there. I'd never forgive myself, and neither would the 383 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:46,400 police commissioner. 384 00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:48,839 Speaker 7: Okay, John, let's go all right here. 385 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:51,799 Speaker 6: Oh oh oh, before we leave, Sam, there's something I 386 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:52,559 forgot to tell you. 387 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 5: What is that? 388 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 6: Your mother phoned headquarters here a little while ago, wanted 389 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,519 to talk to you real bad Eh. 390 00:20:58,759 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 7: What didn't you say? 391 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 6: Well, she was so upset over the phone. I didn't 392 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,119 quite get what she was saying, but it was something 393 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,960 about meat loads. 394 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,279 Speaker 7: The Naughton house is dog or the shades drawn ew 395 00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,759 and Lieutenant Bracket try the front door. 396 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,599 Speaker 2: It's locked. 397 00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:25,799 Speaker 7: Then in the moonlight you notice a car standing in 398 00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:31,039 the backyard. You follow Bracket into the yard, the shivers 399 00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:34,279 running up and down your spine as you reflect on 400 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,519 what a beautiful target you make there in the moonlight. 401 00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:42,559 Just in case the killer is home, you'll both go 402 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,240 to the back door, find it locked.

Finally, at four o'clock 445 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,480 in the morning, you come home. 446 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 4: Hello, Sam, you still left. 447 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: I'm still waiting for you to come home for dinner. 448 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 7: Son, Jim, I'm sorry I had to cover a big story. 449 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,839 Your father killed his daughter because well because he wanted 450 00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:26,079 a boy in the first place. 451 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 5: Here, eat your dinner. 452 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 7: Well this is just pie and milk. 453 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 3: So all I got left the meat loaf cooked ryer, 454 00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:33,559 just like the pot roast. 455 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 12: And do you know what, sammm, I wish you had 456 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,400 been born a girl. 457 00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:03,519 Speaker 8: Now we read you that telegram from Sam Melnick of 458 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:04,319 the United Press. 459 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 7: As it turned out, Killer in Tonight's Big Story had 460 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,119 tried to commit suicide in his bedroom. The lieutenant had 461 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,240 winged him in the arm so that he dropped his gun. 462 00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:17,599 Killer died from self inflicted wound just before the ambulance 463 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,319 came to her husband. To the bitter end, widow declared that, 464 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,799 except for insanely jealous rages, he was a good father. 465 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,559 Speaker 17: In order to protect the names of people actually involved 466 00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:37,559 in the Knight's athout the Big Story, the names of 467 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,319 all characters in his dramization were changed, with the exception 468 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:48,079 of the newspaper Reporter. A big story has been a 469 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,599 presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service, the 470 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,039 Voice of Information and Education. 471 00:26:19,000 --> 00:27:10,799 Speaker 1: And Welcome Back. Well, as usual with the FRS recordings, 472 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,400 we don't get the cast list, so let's go ahead 473 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:21,920 and go through that. Starred as mister Melnick was Grant Richards. 474 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:28,200 Also in the cast Melville Ray, Ethel Raimi, Kathleen Niday, 475 00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,720 I think is how it's pronounced, Humphrey Davis, Bill Smith, 476 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,039 and Burrel Firestone. This is a story where, unfortunately, the 477 00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:42,480 underlying incident could happen with some variation today. Now, the 478 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:47,480 basic idea of this story that a father who tried 479 00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:53,119 to control his daughter's life killed her when she was 480 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,720 trying to go on the date. But most of the 481 00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:04,319 other details or different. It did happen in Kansas City, 482 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,920 and the name of the young lady was killed was 483 00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:11,400 Lula made Davis, who was killed by her father Ray. 484 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240 But in real life it was a situation where she 485 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:23,680 got between the boyfriend and her father and that's when 486 00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:29,759 she got shot. And he actually it's somewhat of a 487 00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:33,359 different situation in terms of how why he called in. 488 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,319 He initially believed in real life that he had not 489 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:44,240 killed her, and the final confrontation was not anything involving Melnick. 490 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:49,680 Davis was surrounded by police in his last call to 491 00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:54,079 his family, stating that he's not going to put any 492 00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:59,960 more disgrace on the family and requested to be bare 493 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:02,559 eat at the same time and place as his daughter. 494 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:08,079 So a horrific situation with a few tweaks to reality 495 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,079 thrown in. One thing that most people would not think 496 00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:17,559 would be any tie to reality was Sam Melnick's others 497 00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:21,880 cooking being victimized. Although it's interesting to hear from this 498 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:25,799 era where you couldn't just put something in the stove 499 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,400 and expect that it would automatically warm, it could be 500 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,720 a problem. Although pot roast is such an unlikely victim 501 00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:39,279 given that it tends to be slow cooked and often 502 00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:44,000 is braised in liquid. Most moms who were good enough 503 00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:49,000 cooks that their cookings raws the sun home could probably 504 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,680 fure out to add some liquid in order to prevent 505 00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:57,039 this from happening, or you know, still figure a way 506 00:29:57,079 --> 00:29:59,799 to preserve it for sandwiches or something. But they were 507 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,839 committed to the bat Well Listener comments and feedback, and 508 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,079 we have a comment on YouTube from Michael, who writes, 509 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,519 my grandmother, born in nineteen thirteen had quite a few 510 00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:15,839 thirty three rpm records of old time radio shows. This 511 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,400 is very cool. Well, Michael, I'm glad you enjoy this 512 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,160 and the thirty three rpm the long play records were 513 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:32,759 some of the earliest ways of commercially mass distributing old 514 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:38,559 time radio programs because people had record players. Now, of 515 00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:42,319 course there were real to real tapes that people call me, 516 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,359 but not everyone had a real to real player, and 517 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,480 so these were sold in record stores. I actually bought 518 00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:52,799 one of these records off of the eBay of my 519 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,400 dad's favorite program from when he was growing up. He 520 00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:01,799 continually evoked to me The Inner Sanctum, and it does 521 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,759 play really well. And if your grandmother was born in 522 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,799 nineteen thirteen, then she would have been of an age 523 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,319 where radio was a big part of her life, particularly 524 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:19,960 as an adult. And then see some of the commercial 525 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,359 records made of old radio programs in the sixties and seventies, 526 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,079 so that makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much, 527 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,079 appreciate you sharing and glad to bring back some good memories. 528 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,160 All right, Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon 529 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,480 supporter of the day.
