10:00.960 --> 10:02.960 Yes, sometimes he's even worse. 10:02.960 --> 10:05.960 None of the things they say are true, Sergeant. 10:05.960 --> 10:07.960 Not one word. 10:07.960 --> 10:10.960 Oh, I'd like you to think carefully before you answer this, Miss Wilson. 10:10.960 --> 10:12.960 Is there anyone at all that you know in your neighborhood, 10:12.960 --> 10:15.960 or here at church, or at your work who might be doing this? 10:15.960 --> 10:18.960 Maybe somebody that you knew a few years ago, some acquaintance? 10:18.960 --> 10:21.960 Ever since it's happened, I've been trying to think of someone. 10:21.960 --> 10:25.960 I don't think I've ever met anybody who'd do this kind of thing. 10:25.960 --> 10:28.960 Well, how about a former boyfriend or a girlfriend who might be jealous of you for some reason? 10:28.960 --> 10:29.960 No. 10:29.960 --> 10:35.960 I did have quite a few boyfriends, just casual dates, nothing serious. 10:35.960 --> 10:39.960 They were always taking me out, dancing and out to parties. 10:39.960 --> 10:43.960 We went everywhere, but I was never interested in any of them. 10:43.960 --> 10:46.960 Were any of them upset when you stopped going out with them? 10:46.960 --> 10:49.960 A few of them were angry when I wouldn't marry them, 10:49.960 --> 10:53.960 but I don't think any of them would write those kind of letters. 10:53.960 --> 10:56.960 Do you think the whole thing might be some kind of a joke, someone's playing? 10:56.960 --> 10:59.960 It's a pretty grim joke to go this far. 10:59.960 --> 11:01.960 Do you live by yourself, Miss Wilson? 11:01.960 --> 11:04.960 No, with my mother, but I don't want her to know anything about this. 11:04.960 --> 11:05.960 Well, I think it'd be wiser if you told her. 11:05.960 --> 11:06.960 No, no, she mustn't know. 11:06.960 --> 11:09.960 Mother's been ill lately, and if she found out, it might upset her an awful lot. 11:09.960 --> 11:10.960 She's not well at all. 11:10.960 --> 11:12.960 Help yourself to some of the water, gentlemen. 11:12.960 --> 11:14.960 Okay, really? 11:14.960 --> 11:16.960 Miss Wilson, would you like a drink? 11:16.960 --> 11:17.960 Yes, please, I would. 11:17.960 --> 11:18.960 All right. 11:18.960 --> 11:19.960 Thank you. 11:19.960 --> 11:20.960 There you are. 11:20.960 --> 11:21.960 Anybody else? 11:21.960 --> 11:22.960 Reverend? 11:22.960 --> 11:23.960 Yes, please. 11:23.960 --> 11:24.960 Ben? 11:24.960 --> 11:25.960 Nothing. 11:25.960 --> 11:26.960 Okay. 11:26.960 --> 11:27.960 Thank you. 11:27.960 --> 11:31.960 Oh, myself. 11:31.960 --> 11:34.960 How about some of the church members, Miss Wilson? 11:34.960 --> 11:37.960 Have any of them been at all unfriendly to you since you started coming here? 11:37.960 --> 11:39.960 No, I don't think so. 11:39.960 --> 11:41.960 A few are pretty hard to get to know. 11:41.960 --> 11:43.960 They're shy, I guess. 11:43.960 --> 11:45.960 But none of them have been uncharitable. 11:45.960 --> 11:48.960 Then you don't think the threats are coming from anyone in the church? 11:48.960 --> 11:51.960 Well, if they are, I don't know who the person is, 11:51.960 --> 11:54.960 the way they say all those rotten things about me. 11:54.960 --> 11:57.960 They call me a sinner and a bad woman. 11:57.960 --> 12:02.960 Well, I guess I'm a sinner like all of us are, but I'm not a bad woman. 12:02.960 --> 12:06.960 I'm going to church because I want to be born again of the light. 12:06.960 --> 12:09.960 I've never killed anyone and I've never been a bad woman. 12:09.960 --> 12:11.960 You believe me, don't you, Reverend? 12:11.960 --> 12:12.960 Yes, of course I do. 12:12.960 --> 12:14.960 Now, don't get yourself all upset, Sister Wilson. 12:14.960 --> 12:17.960 You think that's why they want to murder me because I'm a sinner? 12:17.960 --> 12:18.960 You think that's why? 12:18.960 --> 12:20.960 Please, Sister Wilson, try and get your mind off of it. 12:20.960 --> 12:22.960 If they want to kill me because I'm a sinner, 12:22.960 --> 12:24.960 then why don't they want to kill all the sinners? 12:24.960 --> 12:32.960 They're going to have a lot of homicides if they try. 12:32.960 --> 12:35.960 Ten p.m. Together with Sergeant Srains and Bechtel, 12:35.960 --> 12:37.960 we tailed Dorothy Wilson to her home. 12:37.960 --> 12:39.960 She parked her car at the rear and went inside. 12:39.960 --> 12:41.960 A stakeout was placed on her house. 12:41.960 --> 12:43.960 The next morning we took the threatening letters, 12:43.960 --> 12:44.960 which the Wilson girl had received, 12:44.960 --> 12:47.960 and asked Don Meyer in handwriting to check them over. 12:47.960 --> 12:48.960 During the next five days, 12:48.960 --> 12:51.960 we checked thoroughly into the background of Dorothy Wilson. 12:51.960 --> 12:52.960 We talked to her relatives, her employers, 12:52.960 --> 12:54.960 all her friends, past and present. 12:54.960 --> 12:57.960 We had no good reason to suspect any of them. 12:57.960 --> 13:00.960 We checked out the people at the church, and they were clear. 13:00.960 --> 13:04.960 Both Reverend Small and the Wilson girl continued to receive more threatening letters. 13:04.960 --> 13:07.960 Some of the language and the accusations were pretty foul. 13:07.960 --> 13:10.960 Still, no outward attempt were made on the life of the Wilson girl. 13:10.960 --> 13:13.960 A week after we started on the case, we tailed up our findings. 13:13.960 --> 13:15.960 They seemed to make sense. 13:15.960 --> 13:17.960 We talked it over with Reigns in the squad room. 13:17.960 --> 13:21.960 Don Meyer's checking those letters and a sample of the Wilson girl's handwriting, isn't he? 13:21.960 --> 13:22.960 What's he got to say? 13:22.960 --> 13:25.960 The letters written in longhand are signed to Sister and the Lord, 13:25.960 --> 13:27.960 and the typewritten letters are signed Brother D.R. Griswold. 13:27.960 --> 13:29.960 Mm-hmm, yeah, I know that. 13:29.960 --> 13:31.960 Don says all the letters were written by the same person. 13:31.960 --> 13:32.960 How's he figure? 13:32.960 --> 13:35.960 Well, similarities in phrasing, same mistakes in spelling, 13:35.960 --> 13:37.960 typewritten and longhand both. 13:37.960 --> 13:40.960 Signatures on the Griswold letters match the handwriting in the other letters. 13:40.960 --> 13:42.960 They were only dealing with one suspect. 13:42.960 --> 13:44.960 And Don Meyer seems pretty sure of it, yeah. 13:44.960 --> 13:47.960 Well, how does the Wilson girl's handwriting check out? 13:47.960 --> 13:48.960 He's working on that. 13:48.960 --> 13:50.960 Where does that leave us? 13:50.960 --> 13:52.960 You've been on stakeouts at the Wilson girl's home a few nights. 13:52.960 --> 13:55.960 Haven't you noticed anything peculiar about the setup? 13:55.960 --> 13:56.960 How do you mean? 13:56.960 --> 13:59.960 Something that didn't fit, something that didn't quite jive? 13:59.960 --> 14:01.960 No, I don't think so. 14:01.960 --> 14:03.960 Well, just that business about her car. 14:03.960 --> 14:05.960 I thought that was a little out of line. 14:05.960 --> 14:06.960 Yeah, it struck us the same way. 14:06.960 --> 14:10.960 A girl always seemed frightened enough about the situation when she's around us, 14:10.960 --> 14:13.960 but when she thinks she's alone, it looks to me like she takes it a little differently. 14:13.960 --> 14:14.960 Yeah. 14:14.960 --> 14:18.960 Every night when she drives home, she parks her car in a dark garage. 14:18.960 --> 14:21.960 It must be at least 50, 75 yards from her house. 14:21.960 --> 14:22.960 Yeah. 14:22.960 --> 14:24.960 I've never seen her look particularly nervous 14:24.960 --> 14:26.960 and taking that long walk through a front door. 14:26.960 --> 14:30.960 Sure, the normal reaction for a frightened woman would be to park the car right in front of the house 14:30.960 --> 14:31.960 and then hurry inside. 14:31.960 --> 14:32.960 She hasn't done that once. 14:32.960 --> 14:33.960 How about all those friends of hers? 14:33.960 --> 14:35.960 You guys checked out anything there? 14:35.960 --> 14:39.960 Well, we've been staked out at her house, at the church, and at work. 14:39.960 --> 14:40.960 You know that. 14:40.960 --> 14:41.960 There's not a thing. 14:41.960 --> 14:43.960 Checked with some of her ex-boyfriends, too. 14:43.960 --> 14:44.960 Nothing there? 14:44.960 --> 14:47.960 Well, the Wilson girl told us that some of the boys had proposed to her. 14:47.960 --> 14:49.960 We couldn't find one who'd admit it. 14:49.960 --> 14:52.960 They all said she was a nice girl, but they didn't propose marriage. 14:52.960 --> 14:55.960 Those threatening phone calls are another thing. 14:55.960 --> 14:57.960 Both the pastor of the church and Dorothy Wilson got letters, 14:57.960 --> 14:59.960 but only the girl received a phone call. 14:59.960 --> 15:00.960 Yeah. 15:00.960 --> 15:03.960 Well, logically, if the reverend got the letters the same time as the girl, 15:03.960 --> 15:04.960 he should have been getting phone calls, too. 15:04.960 --> 15:05.960 He hasn't received the one. 15:05.960 --> 15:07.960 Well, it could be accidental. 15:07.960 --> 15:11.960 Whoever wants to kill the girl might figure the reverend would recognize his voice. 15:11.960 --> 15:14.960 Well, it's possible, but you remember that story that the Wilson girl gave us about her mother. 15:14.960 --> 15:15.960 Remember that? 15:15.960 --> 15:18.960 She didn't want her to know about the letters because her mother was sick. 15:18.960 --> 15:19.960 Uh-huh. 15:19.960 --> 15:22.960 Well, we checked with her mother's doctor, and Mrs. Wilson hasn't been sick in five years. 15:22.960 --> 15:24.960 Yeah, how about that? 15:24.960 --> 15:25.960 What do you figure? 15:25.960 --> 15:27.960 I think the girl's a fake. 15:27.960 --> 15:31.960 Everything we knew about the case of Dorothy Wilson, 15:31.960 --> 15:34.960 everything we'd learned through questioning and observation, 15:34.960 --> 15:36.960 seemed to point to one definite conclusion. 15:36.960 --> 15:40.960 Dorothy Wilson, for one reason or another, was writing the threatening letters to herself. 15:40.960 --> 15:44.960 As for the warnings that she got over the telephone, we only had her word for it. 15:44.960 --> 15:47.960 We took our findings to Captain Steed and laid out the case for him. 15:47.960 --> 15:53.960 He directed us to stay on it for a few more days until we could find enough evidence and testimony to prove out our theory. 15:53.960 --> 15:58.960 The following day, Dorothy Wilson received a letter more threatening than any of the previous ones. 15:58.960 --> 16:01.960 Reverend Small also received a copy of the same letter. 16:01.960 --> 16:04.960 Again, Don Meyer's opinion was that they were written by the same person. 16:08.960 --> 16:09.960 Hi. 16:09.960 --> 16:10.960 Reigns? 16:10.960 --> 16:11.960 What's it doing? 16:11.960 --> 16:12.960 I don't know. 16:12.960 --> 16:13.960 Boy's got any new theories? 16:13.960 --> 16:14.960 What do you mean? 16:14.960 --> 16:15.960 On the Dorothy Wilson case. 16:15.960 --> 16:16.960 Do we need one? 16:16.960 --> 16:18.960 I don't think your old one's going to hold up. 16:18.960 --> 16:19.960 Why? What's the matter? 16:19.960 --> 16:20.960 She's at Georgia Street. 16:20.960 --> 16:22.960 Somebody tried to kill her. 16:32.960 --> 16:34.960 You are listening to Dragnet, 16:34.960 --> 16:37.960 authentic stories of your police force in action. 16:39.960 --> 16:40.960 Oh, no! 16:40.960 --> 16:43.960 Oh, that's different. 16:43.960 --> 16:45.960 Yes, what a difference. 16:45.960 --> 16:51.960 There's a difference you can hear, there's a difference you can see, but the difference in Fatima is quality. 16:51.960 --> 16:58.960 Yes, friends, when you compare long cigarettes, you'll find that in Fatima, the difference is quality. 16:58.960 --> 17:06.960 Quality of tobaccos, the finest Turkish and domestic varieties, extra mild and superbly blended to give you a much different, 17:06.960 --> 17:11.960 much better flavor and aroma than any other long cigarette. 17:11.960 --> 17:17.960 Quality of manufacture, smooth plump cigarettes rolled in the finest paper money can buy. 17:17.960 --> 17:27.960 Quality even to the appearance of the bright clean yellow package, carefully wrapped and sealed to bring you Fatima's rich, fresh, extra mild flavor. 17:27.960 --> 17:33.960 Fatima's now cost the same as other long cigarettes, but your first puff will tell you. 17:33.960 --> 17:35.960 Ah, that's different. 17:35.960 --> 17:39.960 Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality. 17:41.960 --> 17:49.960 Ask your dealer for Fatima, the quality king-size cigarette, best of all, long cigarettes. 17:49.960 --> 17:51.960 Start enjoying Fatima tomorrow. 17:58.960 --> 18:02.960 As soon as we got the report that Dorothy Wilson had been attacked by an unknown assailant, 18:02.960 --> 18:05.960 we drove to Georgia Street Receiving Hospital where she was being treated. 18:05.960 --> 18:08.960 Anderson and Bechtel from homicide were standing by. 18:08.960 --> 18:11.960 We talked to the doctor who told us that the victim had no serious injuries. 18:11.960 --> 18:15.960 She had two slight bruises on her upper arms and a slight bruise on her forehead. 18:15.960 --> 18:16.960 She complained of a headache. 18:16.960 --> 18:19.960 While the doctor made out his report, we questioned the Wilson girl. 18:19.960 --> 18:24.960 She told us that she'd gone to the church of the Holy Book at 6 o'clock that night after work. 18:24.960 --> 18:28.960 She told us that she wanted to pray before the start of the regular service at 8.15 p.m. 18:28.960 --> 18:31.960 We asked her exactly when and where the attack occurred. 18:31.960 --> 18:34.960 At about 6.30, I felt a little tired. 18:34.960 --> 18:38.960 I told the officers on duty at the church I thought I'd get a little rest before services started, 18:38.960 --> 18:41.960 and then I went into the ladies dressing room and laid down. 18:41.960 --> 18:43.960 That's where it happened. It was terrible. 18:43.960 --> 18:45.960 Did you see the person who tried to hurt you? 18:45.960 --> 18:50.960 No. I was lying down with my eyes closed and he must have come up from behind. 18:50.960 --> 18:53.960 He put his hands around my throat and started to press tight. 18:53.960 --> 18:55.960 It was awful, just awful. 18:55.960 --> 18:57.960 What happened then, Miss Wilson? 18:57.960 --> 18:59.960 Well, I fought as hard as I could. 18:59.960 --> 19:04.960 I kicked and scratched him and I guess I hurt him because he let go of my throat for a minute. 19:04.960 --> 19:07.960 After that, he pulled me down on the floor. I remembered that. 19:07.960 --> 19:13.960 Then he put his hands around this part of my head like this. 19:13.960 --> 19:19.960 The other officers told us that one of the choir members, Mr. Sherman, found you unconscious in the choir room. 19:19.960 --> 19:26.960 Yes. Whoever it was who wanted to kill me, they put a gag in my mouth and blindfolded me, 19:26.960 --> 19:30.960 and then tied my wrists together with tape. That's how Mr. Sherman found me. 19:30.960 --> 19:32.960 How long do you figure you were unconscious then? 19:32.960 --> 19:36.960 I don't know. It was about 6.35 when I laid down in the dressing room. 19:36.960 --> 19:39.960 Mr. Sherman said he found me there at 20 minutes past seven. 19:39.960 --> 19:41.960 And then you were out about 45 minutes, is that it? 19:41.960 --> 19:44.960 I suppose so. I don't remember anything. 19:44.960 --> 19:48.960 What makes you think the person who attacked you wanted to kill you, Miss Wilson? 19:48.960 --> 19:53.960 That's what they said in the letters, isn't it? They want to kill me for coming to church? 19:53.960 --> 19:56.960 Now your purse and everything that was in it was scattered all over the dressing room floor, is that correct? 19:56.960 --> 20:00.960 Yes, it was. My money and everything scattered all over. I guess they wanted to rob me too. 20:00.960 --> 20:03.960 Fifty-two dollars in cash. Is that what you had with you? 20:03.960 --> 20:08.960 That's right. A fifty dollar bill and some change. I don't know why they didn't take it. Maybe something frightened them off. 20:08.960 --> 20:09.960 That's possible. 20:09.960 --> 20:12.960 The officers found some other articles scattered around the dressing room. 20:12.960 --> 20:16.960 A roll of tape, a metal box that the tape came in, and a half a dozen razor blades. 20:16.960 --> 20:18.960 Did you notice any of these in the dressing room before you were attacked? 20:18.960 --> 20:21.960 No, none of them. I never saw them before. 20:21.960 --> 20:24.960 Those razor blades, officer, what do you think they wanted to do with them? 20:24.960 --> 20:26.960 There's no use thinking about that now. It's all over. 20:26.960 --> 20:32.960 I knew I'd be protected. I felt the spirit. I knew the Holy Light would protect me. 20:32.960 --> 20:33.960 Yes, ma'am. 20:33.960 --> 20:35.960 Will you find whoever did it, officer? 20:35.960 --> 20:37.960 Well, this is just a hunch, Miss Wilson. 20:37.960 --> 20:38.960 Yes? 20:38.960 --> 20:39.960 I think we already have. 20:39.960 --> 20:48.960 Before we left Georgia Street, we talked to the doctor in charge and got a release for the patient. 20:48.960 --> 20:52.960 Dorothy Wilson agreed to drive back with us to the office to make out a crime report. 20:52.960 --> 20:57.960 On the way, she seemed to lose most of her nervousness. She was relaxed and she talked quite a bit. 20:57.960 --> 21:01.960 Religion's a great comfort to me, Sergeant. I think it's a great comfort to anybody, don't you? 21:01.960 --> 21:02.960 Yeah, I do. 21:02.960 --> 21:05.960 Maybe I'm different from most girls, but I get an awful lot out of my church. 21:05.960 --> 21:09.960 It's like Brother Smalls says, you have to be born again of the Holy Light if you really want to live. 21:09.960 --> 21:10.960 Don't you think so? 21:10.960 --> 21:11.960 That's right. 21:11.960 --> 21:15.960 I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for my religion. 21:15.960 --> 21:19.960 No, I used to have a lot of boyfriends. Of course I don't care for any of them anymore, 21:19.960 --> 21:22.960 but when I was younger they were always taking me out all the time. 21:22.960 --> 21:23.960 Is that so? 21:23.960 --> 21:26.960 Yes, I had a good time when I was younger, going out to dinner, dancing, parties. 21:26.960 --> 21:30.960 The fellows were taking me out all the time. Of course that was when I was younger. 21:30.960 --> 21:32.960 You're not much over 25 now, are you, Miss Wilson? 21:32.960 --> 21:36.960 I'll be 27 in August. That's pretty old for an unmarried girl, but I'm not worried. 21:36.960 --> 21:39.960 Get interested in more important things when you get older, isn't that right? 21:39.960 --> 21:40.960 Yes, that's right. 21:40.960 --> 21:43.960 I remember when I was in junior college, how boy crazy I was. 21:43.960 --> 21:47.960 I remember that junior prom I went to. It seems such a long time ago. 21:47.960 --> 21:48.960 Yes. 21:48.960 --> 21:52.960 I had the most beautiful white dress sergeant with sequins. 21:52.960 --> 21:57.960 The skirt was all white and that gathered in here at the waist and it flared out real full. 21:57.960 --> 21:59.960 I went to the dance with one of the big football players. 21:59.960 --> 22:02.960 He looked so nice in his blue suit. His name was Stanley. 22:02.960 --> 22:06.960 I knew him for a long time. He's one of the fellows who asked me to marry him. 22:06.960 --> 22:09.960 I guess I was too particular. I just couldn't see any of them. 22:09.960 --> 22:12.960 Would you mind if I laid out a few facts for you, Miss Wilson? 22:12.960 --> 22:14.960 Not at all, Sergeant. Go ahead, please. 22:14.960 --> 22:17.960 I'm not trying to embarrass you in any way, but since we've been on this case, 22:17.960 --> 22:20.960 we've checked just about all the friends that you've had in the past few years, 22:20.960 --> 22:22.960 and that includes your boyfriends, of course. 22:22.960 --> 22:23.960 Oh. 22:23.960 --> 22:26.960 None of the fellows that you've mentioned say they've ever proposed marriage to you. 22:26.960 --> 22:29.960 Said they've been out with you once or twice, but that's all. 22:29.960 --> 22:33.960 Oh, well, you probably didn't talk to the right fellows. You probably got the names mixed. 22:33.960 --> 22:35.960 No, ma'am, we didn't. We talked to the right people. 22:35.960 --> 22:36.960 Well, I can't understand that. 22:36.960 --> 22:37.960 Neither can we, Miss Wilson. 22:37.960 --> 22:40.960 Well, what difference does it make anyway? I wasn't interested in them. 22:40.960 --> 22:42.960 I wouldn't have married them anyway. 22:42.960 --> 22:45.960 Going out and dancing and parties, that's all they were interested in. 22:45.960 --> 22:47.960 What reason did you have for lying to us? 22:47.960 --> 22:50.960 Harking in a car and necking with girls, trying to take advantage of them. 22:50.960 --> 22:52.960 That's all those fellows wanted. 22:52.960 --> 22:54.960 Some of the silly girls they married. 22:54.960 --> 22:55.960 Well, I don't... 22:55.960 --> 22:57.960 You discover a lot more important things when you get older, Sergeant. 22:57.960 --> 23:00.960 No, I don't think that's the point. Why did you lie to us about it? 23:00.960 --> 23:03.960 I don't know, really. Maybe I didn't have a reason. 23:03.960 --> 23:05.960 I just didn't remember right, I guess. 23:05.960 --> 23:07.960 Well, you sure you remember right about what happened tonight. 23:07.960 --> 23:09.960 What do you mean, it just happened? 23:09.960 --> 23:11.960 Of course I'm sure about it. Someone tried to kill me. 23:11.960 --> 23:15.960 Might as well park on Spring Street, Van. It's pretty clear this time of night. 23:15.960 --> 23:16.960 Yeah, okay. 23:16.960 --> 23:20.960 Sergeant, I wish you'd tell me what you're getting at. What are you thinking? 23:20.960 --> 23:23.960 Well, there's still a few things that we're not too sure of, Miss Wilson. 23:23.960 --> 23:24.960 We'd like to clear them up. 23:24.960 --> 23:27.960 What aren't you too sure of? I told you everything I knew. 23:27.960 --> 23:31.960 I was lying down in the dressing room and somebody tried to kill me. I told you all about it. 23:31.960 --> 23:34.960 Well, you told us you were unconscious about 45 minutes, didn't you? 23:34.960 --> 23:35.960 Well, yeah, 40 or 45. 23:35.960 --> 23:39.960 Well, we talked to the doctor at Georgia Street and the way you described the attack, 23:39.960 --> 23:43.960 it would have been just about impossible for anybody to make you unconscious that long 23:43.960 --> 23:45.960 by pressing his hands against your head like this. 23:45.960 --> 23:48.960 Oh, but he hit me on the head, too. You can see the bruise here. 23:48.960 --> 23:52.960 Well, yes, ma'am, I know, but that's very slight. The doctor says that that couldn't have done it either. 23:52.960 --> 23:54.960 Just a minute, I'll get the door here. 23:56.960 --> 23:57.960 Good evening, Miss Wilson. 23:57.960 --> 23:58.960 Thank you. 24:00.960 --> 24:02.960 What else aren't you sure of? 24:02.960 --> 24:05.960 Well, I don't know. I don't know what they would have done. 24:05.960 --> 24:08.960 All I know is they wanted to kill me. They said so in those letters. 24:08.960 --> 24:10.960 We're not too sure of those letters either, Miss Wilson. 24:10.960 --> 24:12.960 What? What aren't you sure of? 24:12.960 --> 24:14.960 Where they're coming from and who's sending them. 24:14.960 --> 24:16.960 We do know they were all written with the same person. 24:16.960 --> 24:18.960 How do you know that? They're signed by two different people. 24:18.960 --> 24:22.960 Our handwriting man checked them over. He says you're written with the same person. 24:23.960 --> 24:25.960 You might as well have it straight, Miss Wilson. 24:25.960 --> 24:28.960 We're going to talk. Can't we do it inside someplace? Please, I'm tired. 24:28.960 --> 24:29.960 Oh, I'm sorry. All right. 24:29.960 --> 24:32.960 Joe. Yeah? 24:32.960 --> 24:34.960 I'll see if Lady Fingerprint is finished with that stuff. 24:34.960 --> 24:36.960 Yeah, bring it along if they are. We'll be in the interrogation room. 24:36.960 --> 24:38.960 Yeah, all right. This way, Miss Wilson. 24:41.960 --> 24:44.960 A man I know used to be on the police force. Nice fellow. 24:44.960 --> 24:45.960 We used to go out all the time together. 24:45.960 --> 24:47.960 Was it so? What's his name? 24:47.960 --> 24:50.960 Well, that's funny. I don't remember. He's an awfully nice fellow, though. 24:50.960 --> 24:52.960 He was a good guy. He was a good guy. 24:52.960 --> 24:54.960 He was a good guy. He was a good guy. 24:54.960 --> 24:56.960 He was a good guy. He was a good guy. 24:56.960 --> 24:59.960 Well, that's funny. I don't remember. He's an awfully nice fellow, though. 24:59.960 --> 25:01.960 He used to go dancing every week. 25:01.960 --> 25:02.960 Here we are. 25:02.960 --> 25:04.960 Go right ahead. 25:07.960 --> 25:12.960 I started questioning Dorothy Wilson, but she wanted to talk about everything except what concerned the case. 25:12.960 --> 25:17.960 Dean Birdman and Layton Fingerprints had already checked each article that was found at the supposed scene of the crime. 25:17.960 --> 25:19.960 The Wilson girls' prints were all over them. 25:19.960 --> 25:22.960 Did you write those writing letters to yourself, Miss Wilson? 25:22.960 --> 25:25.960 I don't understand. Why do you ask me something like that? 25:25.960 --> 25:27.960 Did you write the letters to yourself? 25:27.960 --> 25:30.960 You know that's not a fair question, Sergeant. 25:30.960 --> 25:34.960 I don't know what you consider fair, but we'd like to know, did you write the letters? 25:34.960 --> 25:37.960 Do you know what it is to pray, Sergeant? I mean, really pray? 25:37.960 --> 25:39.960 What's that got to do with it? 25:39.960 --> 25:41.960 I've been praying all my life. I've been praying hard. 25:41.960 --> 25:43.960 Ever since I was a little girl. 25:43.960 --> 25:46.960 We'd like to have your answer to our question, Miss Wilson. 25:46.960 --> 25:49.960 I think you'll understand. This is the answer, Sergeant. 25:49.960 --> 25:53.960 I can feel the Holy Spirit in my heart. I know you understand. 25:53.960 --> 25:54.960 Yes, ma'am. 25:54.960 --> 25:57.960 I've been praying for an awfully long time, Sergeant. 25:57.960 --> 26:00.960 When I was a little girl, six years old, I was praying. 26:00.960 --> 26:03.960 Night and day I said my prayers, but there never seemed to be any answer. 26:03.960 --> 26:06.960 I never could understand it because I only prayed for one thing. 26:06.960 --> 26:08.960 I didn't think it was too much to ask. 26:08.960 --> 26:09.960 What was that? 26:09.960 --> 26:11.960 I wanted people to know me, Sergeant. 26:11.960 --> 26:12.960 Hmm? 26:12.960 --> 26:14.960 I wanted people to know me and like me, that's all. 26:14.960 --> 26:16.960 But it never seemed to happen, even when I was a little girl. 26:16.960 --> 26:18.960 I don't think I quite follow you, Miss. 26:18.960 --> 26:21.960 You've got to understand me. Nobody else does. 26:21.960 --> 26:25.960 When I was a little girl, six, nobody ever seemed to care if I was around or not. 26:25.960 --> 26:28.960 I always tried to make friends, tried to make people like me. 26:28.960 --> 26:31.960 I tried very hard, but nobody seemed to care. 26:31.960 --> 26:34.960 Nobody even noticed me. Nobody ever noticed me. 26:34.960 --> 26:37.960 You mean that's why you wrote those threatening letters to yourself, so that you'd be noticed? 26:37.960 --> 26:40.960 I wanted somebody to care about me, that's all. 26:40.960 --> 26:43.960 I wanted them to know who I was. Dorothy Wilson. 26:43.960 --> 26:46.960 I wanted to walk down the street and have people nod and have them say, 26:46.960 --> 26:49.960 That's Dorothy Wilson. There goes Dorothy Wilson. 26:49.960 --> 26:52.960 Just for somebody to care, that's all, Sergeant. Just for somebody to care. 26:52.960 --> 26:54.960 Well, then the whole thing's purely your imagination. 26:54.960 --> 26:57.960 You wrote the letters to yourself and you pretended somebody attacked you. 26:57.960 --> 26:58.960 And all the rest. 26:58.960 --> 27:00.960 God told me to do it, Sergeant. 27:00.960 --> 27:02.960 He told me to make myself noticed. 27:02.960 --> 27:05.960 To stand up and make people know me. 27:05.960 --> 27:08.960 I'm sorry for it now, but it didn't hurt anyone, did it? 27:08.960 --> 27:11.960 Well, ma'am, you had an awful lot of people working for nothing. 27:11.960 --> 27:15.960 I'm sorry. It was so nice while it lasted. 27:15.960 --> 27:18.960 People looking after me, caring about where I went, 27:18.960 --> 27:20.960 what happened to me. 27:20.960 --> 27:22.960 It's the first time anybody ever really noticed me. 27:22.960 --> 27:24.960 It was that important to you? 27:24.960 --> 27:27.960 People knew who I was. Dorothy Wilson. 27:27.960 --> 27:29.960 They all noticed me. 27:29.960 --> 27:31.960 I feel better now that it's over. 27:31.960 --> 27:34.960 Oh, there's one thing I've got to tell you, Sergeant. 27:34.960 --> 27:35.960 Yes, ma'am? 27:35.960 --> 27:39.960 Remember driving here in the car I told you about that junior prom I went to? 27:39.960 --> 27:42.960 That time I had a beautiful white net dress with a full skirt, 27:42.960 --> 27:44.960 the beautiful new white dress. 27:44.960 --> 27:46.960 Yes, ma'am, I remember. What about it? 27:46.960 --> 27:49.960 Well, it was really pink, burgundy, an old dress. 27:49.960 --> 27:52.960 I knew you'd find out. That's why I had to tell you. 27:52.960 --> 27:53.960 Yeah. 27:53.960 --> 27:55.960 I didn't want you to think I was a liar. 27:55.960 --> 28:02.960 The story you've just heard was true. 28:02.960 --> 28:05.960 Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. 28:05.960 --> 28:07.960 In a moment, the results of the trial. 28:07.960 --> 28:09.960 Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. 28:09.960 --> 28:10.960 Thank you. 28:10.960 --> 28:14.960 Dragnet's mail this week has included cards from some of you listeners 28:14.960 --> 28:16.960 saying that your dealer is out of Fatima's. 28:16.960 --> 28:19.960 Thank you.
