The Duke Mantell No, No, my name is 263 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Mike Waring, but he is a long story angel and 264 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,519 I just assumed sif while I'd tell him I was 265 00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:15,119 working for Mantel, he claimed he was being black man 266 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,920 and he asked me to post for him at the playoffs. 267 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,079 He was lying, So I discovered you were arranged to 268 00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:22,240 meet Mantel so someone could plug it. That's a lie. 269 00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:25,920 I got the story from Phil Stacey.

Wait a second, what 354 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,079 made pom pick on me? You got a tip from 355 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:05,039 a girl and Carol Ford names, you were up to 356 00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:07,640 see her, and when you left, your threatened dire consequences 357 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,680 for one dupe man. Tell naturally, I rest over to 358 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,759 give him protection. Now, when you got there, he was dead. 359 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:17,000 That's right. I'm relaying this to my superior officer. He 360 00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:20,799 immediately jumped at the conclusion that you were responsible. He's crazy. 361 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,759 I agree, but what can I do? So in the 362 00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:27,559 final analysis, Carol Ford is the one I have to 363 00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,759 thank for this hat Who you gotta thank you? Suppose 364 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,720 we could drop over and see her before we hit headquarters? Well, 365 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,480 I don't know. It's out of the way. Don't worry, sergeant. 366 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:52,759 I'm sure Carol will make it worth your while. Hello 367 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,799 was for if we come in, I wouldn't be too strenuous. 368 00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:00,000 My objection is angel this gentleman is with the police. 369 00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:01,640 Does he have a one? I don't need one. 370 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 4: Look. 371 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: Look, well, if it doesn't feel stacy, what are you 372 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:07,880 doing here? 373 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 4: It's gonna be o thick. 374 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 2: Maybe I can guess he came up here with some advice. 375 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,559 Anything wrong with that? That all depends now surely is 376 00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:18,119 a guess. I'd say you were kipping her off to 377 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,519 skip town. Well, he probably showed you that the murder 378 00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:23,799 of Duke Mantel might have. The cops are on asking 379 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:27,559 embarrassing question. It looks like I was right. Yeah, too bad. 380 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,160 Your timing was off. I'm sorry you should be. If 381 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,279 you were twenty minutes earlier, we would have missed her. 382 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,039 Look wearing you get the wrong angle on this. If 383 00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:39,880 you think she's responsible for dukeman Sells murdered, Oh I don't. 384 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,000 I assume that's because you wanted to look Mike, you 385 00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:46,400 know what you're talking about. I think so, sergeant, just 386 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480 ask yourself this question. What would you have thought of 387 00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,880 your farm missed? For god? Oh, she was guilty, which 388 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,279 is just what Stacey wanted you to make. But when 389 00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:59,279 are you babbling her broth? You killed man, money and nuts? 390 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,799 If I am at, I was from dealing with the 391 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,680 squirrels like you, all right, I didn't take him to 392 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:22,880 his case. I'm afraid I'm completely doubtful. Well move over, Carol, 393 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,640 you've got company. Why did you tip off the police 394 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,599 that I headed in for a duke Mantel. 395 00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:30,599 Speaker 4: I didn't want to see you make the same mistake. 396 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: I honestly I see, well I don't. 397 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,559 Speaker 4: I can't believe Stacey was responsible for Mantels. 398 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 2: You better if he didn't do it. And by a 399 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,559 process of elimination, it asked to be you. 400 00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:46,519 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm glad you settled on him. But he had 401 00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:47,039 no motive. 402 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 2: It was that pasting Mantel gave him when he left 403 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,920 the office making treads. He tipped off Mantel. Expect him 404 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,200 to be remunerated, but all he got for his pains 405 00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:59,319 was a schlag. A guy like Stacy takes a thing 406 00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,640 like that. 407 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 4: Then he was responsible for shooting with the mind. 408 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:04,519 Speaker 3: That he was. 409 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,279 Speaker 2: He thought I was man tell Then when he discovered 410 00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:10,119 his mistake, he had a friend of his name, Jack Winters, 411 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,240 to remedy it. He felt sure he'd never be suspected. 412 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,400 What made you pick on him? There were three reasons. One, 413 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,079 he was on top of every play. I looked as 414 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,279 though I came to a blind alley he came up 415 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:24,519 with your name. And then that final that it was 416 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,519 telling you to skip Tolm. He just wanted you to 417 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,319 incriminate yourself. He said, there were three reasons, He's only 418 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,920 give him two. Well, you were the only woman in 419 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,480 the case, and if you were guilty, I'd have had 420 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,519 to wind up with Argan provid. Believe me, Angela, it 421 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:41,319 worked out much better this way. 422 00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back, good story with a lot of suspects, and 423 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,920 that I think the solution that we got makes sense, 424 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,200 and certainly it worked for Mike did not have to 425 00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,759 end up with a final scene with Sergeant Corbett. Have 426 00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,000 to appreciate these sort of inside jokes you get on 427 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:11,440 the falcon about the way that the radio program works well, 428 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,200 listener comments and feedback. And we have a couple of 429 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:19,920 comments on YouTube regarding the last last name in episode 430 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,799 the case of the Strawberry Blonde faceoff rights. He drives 431 00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:28,880 a nash just like you, and the color of the 432 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,200 nash wasn't mentioned this time, but I'm guessing that it 433 00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:36,920 was blue. And then skip comments a chopped nash with 434 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:43,079 two kits. Now you might think, because we've read comments 435 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,640 from listeners about the nash, that they're a little obsessed 436 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,920 with the nash, but they're not the ones writing the scrap. 437 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,880 I have not caught any blue Nash references so far 438 00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:59,000 with Georgia Patrie, but we're not quite halfway through the 439 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:03,359 Patriar episode.

But join us back here 450 00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:42,799 tomorrow for Charlie chan where. 451 00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 3: What's on your mind? Inspector? I always show you? Have 452 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,839 you also tweezed it? Yes? 453 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:50,279 Speaker 2: Here you are? What is it? Charlie? There? 454 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:57,759 Speaker 3: If you please position of right hand, hold it steady, sergeant. Yes, 455 00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:02,640 it is man who kill Simmons is man with beard? 456 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,880 You note short black hairs caught in Simmons's fingernail. Jove, 457 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,400 you're right, Charling, it's a martal certainty. But cheer inspector. 458 00:28:10,519 --> 00:28:13,599 The killer, whoever he is, Sidney, is a cold, calculating group. 459 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,720 How could he dare to take a chance like this 460 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,319 with us in the house? Killer must have been hiding 461 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,680 outside house. He saw a messenger arrive with telegram, saw 462 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,200 Simmons answer the door. Then he rang the doorbell. Simmons 463 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,440 answered the second time, saw no one there, stepped outside, 464 00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:35,799 and murderer quickly placed gun against his heart and pressed trigger. 465 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,759 When Simmons more or less involuntarily struck out and caught 466 00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:41,400 the man's beard with his fingernail. Probably so well, we 467 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,680 know the murderer's approximate wit. We have a pretty good 468 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,440 idea of his height. We know he wears a beard. 469 00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:51,079 Speaker 1: Perhaps Sogeant, I hope you'll be with us then in 470 00:28:51,119 --> 00:28:55,359 the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great 471 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,480 Detectives dot net, follow us on Twitter at rideout at Times, 472 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:05,680 and check us out on Instagram, Instagram, dot com slash 473 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:11,079 Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho.
