This is Robert. 20:31.940 --> 20:33.840 Yes, sir. 20:33.840 --> 20:37.240 Fine boy sight. Robert was a good Marine. 20:37.240 --> 20:40.640 You think you could describe the watch for us? 20:40.640 --> 20:46.340 Gold pocket watch. Caught quite a bit when I bought it for him. There's some engraving on the inside of the cover. 20:46.340 --> 20:47.140 What is it? 20:47.140 --> 20:50.840 Says, from an old Marine to a young one, signed there. 20:50.840 --> 20:52.140 Anything else about it, sir? 20:52.140 --> 21:01.440 Very fine jewel, a friend of mine made the watch. It has small chimes inside. When you push the lever on the side, it chimes the hour or nearest quarter hour. Very clever. 21:01.440 --> 21:05.940 Yes, sir, I think. And as far as you know, then, those are all the valuables he had with him. 21:05.940 --> 21:06.840 Yes. 21:06.840 --> 21:08.840 All right, Colonel Lawrence. Thanks very much. 21:08.840 --> 21:12.140 You don't have to rush off. Can I fix you a couple of cars? You stay a while, won't you? 21:12.140 --> 21:14.340 I'm sorry, Colonel. We have to get back to the office. 21:14.340 --> 21:18.340 Oh. Well, let me show you to the door. 21:18.340 --> 21:22.340 I hope I've been of some help to you. I'm not feeling too well. 21:22.340 --> 21:24.140 You've helped a lot, sir. Thank you. 21:24.140 --> 21:31.840 Thank you. Goodbye. 21:31.840 --> 21:35.840 Nice home, dear. Beautiful furniture. Everything a man could want. 21:35.840 --> 21:40.340 Except the sun. 21:40.340 --> 21:45.340 For the next six days, we got nowhere. Both robbery and homicide details stayed at work on the case. 21:45.340 --> 21:50.940 The citywide decoy plan continued along with the extra night patrol of cruiser cars from the Metropolitan Division. 21:50.940 --> 21:54.740 Dozens of leads were received and tracked down. None of them paid off. 21:54.740 --> 22:01.240 We stayed on it, but despite all our work, in one week, the hitchhike bandits were credited with 16 car thefts, 22:01.240 --> 22:04.940 eight actual holdups, and three more assaults with intent to commit murder. 22:04.940 --> 22:08.340 February 18th, 2 p.m. Ben and I were called to Captain Walker's office. 22:08.340 --> 22:09.540 Close the door, will you, Ben? 22:09.540 --> 22:11.340 Oh, yeah. 22:11.340 --> 22:12.340 What is it, Ed? 22:12.340 --> 22:14.140 Both of you know Burdick here, theft detail? 22:14.140 --> 22:15.640 Oh, sure. Hi. 22:15.640 --> 22:17.440 You want to tell them what you just told me, Burdick? 22:17.440 --> 22:23.940 Yeah, just telling the captain. I was on night watch last night with Resnick, and we picked up this guy for grand theft auto. 22:23.940 --> 22:26.140 Got him out in the bowling alley on Vermont. 22:26.140 --> 22:30.740 Well, Resnick and I didn't think too much about it. We took him into Central and had him booked. 22:30.740 --> 22:35.040 Gave his name as Clyde Black. As I say, I didn't think too much about it. 22:35.040 --> 22:37.140 But on the way into work, I got to thinking. 22:37.140 --> 22:41.240 This fella comes pretty close to the description of one of your hitchhike bandits. 22:41.240 --> 22:44.940 Yeah, he's pretty tall. 6'2", dark hair, dark eyes. Pretty tough. 22:44.940 --> 22:45.840 He still in jail? 22:45.840 --> 22:46.340 Still there. 22:46.340 --> 22:47.940 Anybody else talk to him besides you? 22:47.940 --> 22:49.540 Resnick and me, that's all. 22:49.540 --> 22:51.940 Here's the mugshot we got on him last night. Take a look. 22:51.940 --> 22:53.140 Let me see. 22:53.140 --> 22:55.640 Mm-hmm. It seems pretty close. 22:55.640 --> 22:56.840 You got a home address on him? 22:56.840 --> 22:59.840 Yeah, a place out on South Flower. Here's the number. 22:59.840 --> 23:00.740 Thanks. 23:00.740 --> 23:03.640 Oh, yeah, there was something else. It struck me kind of funny. 23:03.640 --> 23:04.940 What's that? 23:04.940 --> 23:06.440 When we booked the guy in last night... 23:06.440 --> 23:07.240 Yeah? 23:07.240 --> 23:10.340 ...in his back pocket, he had a St. Christopher medal. 23:10.340 --> 23:16.740 Ben, Ed, Burdick, and I drove out to the address on South Flower Street, 23:16.740 --> 23:19.440 which the prisoner Clyde Black had listed as his home address. 23:19.440 --> 23:21.740 It was a rooming house, and the landlord remembered Black, 23:21.740 --> 23:23.640 but he hadn't lived there for two months. 23:23.640 --> 23:27.140 He gave us Black's forwarding address, an apartment on MacArthur Drive. 23:27.140 --> 23:30.940 There, the manager told us he hadn't lived in the building for at least a month. 23:30.940 --> 23:32.940 He had moved and left no forwarding address. 23:32.940 --> 23:36.240 We put tracers through on him with DMV, our business office, 23:36.240 --> 23:38.840 and with local merchants in the neighborhoods where he had lived. 23:38.840 --> 23:40.740 By 6.30 p.m., we had an answer. 23:40.740 --> 23:43.640 An apartment on Pico Boulevard just east of Alvarado. 23:43.640 --> 23:47.840 At 7 o'clock, we were on our way up in the elevator to the third floor of the apartment house. 23:53.040 --> 23:55.340 It's number 307. It must be down this way. 23:55.340 --> 23:57.040 Come on. 23:57.040 --> 23:59.440 Pretty run-down place. 23:59.440 --> 24:00.040 Musty. 24:00.040 --> 24:01.240 Yeah. 24:02.740 --> 24:04.540 This is it. 307. 24:04.540 --> 24:05.640 Somebody's in there. 24:05.640 --> 24:07.540 The apartments have back doors, Joe.
