It's kind of hard dressing with them. 63 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000 All you have to do is put your shoes on. You can make out. 64 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000 All right. I don't know why you had to slap handcuffs on me. 65 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000 I didn't know you were a cop. 66 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 You mind if we check through your things, Rowe? 67 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Huh?

Nothing, Joe. It's pretty clean. 90 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Of course I'm clean. What'd you expect? 91 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Anybody could have made the mistake. I didn't know you were a cop. 92 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 Henry Osworth Ross. Is that your full name? 93 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Yeah, that's right. 94 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 I hardly ever use the Osworth, though. 95 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 It's a real lousy name, huh? 96 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000 What's the fetch on all this, Officer? 97 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 We told you, missing person.

Yeah, I know Davis. 102 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000 I don't know if his name is Paul, though. 103 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Been gone a long time, huh, Mr. Davis? 104 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Yeah, that's right. 105 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Anything wrong? 106 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Something wrong, you think? 107 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 We figure murder. 108 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000 After going over his room thoroughly, we took Henry Osworth Ross back to the city hall, to the interrogation room. 109 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000 He was a slightly built man, dark hair, brown eyes, swarthy complexion. 110 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 He was a longshoreman by trade. 111 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Among his friends and acquaintances, he was known as a heavy drinker and a man with a violent temper. 112 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Ben and I questioned him for a half an hour and got nowhere. 113 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000 He sat across the table, relaxed, scraping at a thick callus on his hand with his fingernail. 114 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 I'll tell you the truth. I just don't know what you're getting at. 115 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 I think I know a guy named Davis, and that's about as far as it goes. 116 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Sure that's all you've got to tell us? 117 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Of course I'm sure. 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Now look, I've got a right to call a lawyer if you're going to sit there and throw a lot of charges at me. 119 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000 We're not throwing charges at you, Henry. We've got a missing persons case. We'd like to have you cooperate. That's about it. 120 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Well, maybe I'd like to, but I can't. 121 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Paul Davis is just a name to me. Maybe I know him. I don't know. 122 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 You got that report there, Ben? 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Yeah, just a minute. 124 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Here you go. 125 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Thanks. 126 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Well, here's the way it goes, Henry. 127 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Yeah? 128 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000 According to his wife, Paul Davis left Los Angeles by auto a little over four months ago. 129 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000 He was driving up to Oakdale, California to take a job with a dairy company up there. 130 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 He never got there. He's been missing ever since. 131 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000 So? What's the pitch? 132 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000 All we've been able to find is Davis' car, the 36 Ford Coupe, 7 Tom, 792. 133 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000 It was sold a month ago up in Lodi, California. 134 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,000 But Davis didn't sell it. A man by the name of Carter signed the pink slip at the time of the sale. Henry Carter. 135 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Sorry. I don't mean anything to mean. 136 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Well, as Carter made it look like Paul Davis had signed the Ford over to him, we checked it out. Davis' signature was Ford's. 137 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 That's so. It's supposed to have something to do with me. 138 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Did you ever use the name Henry Carter? 139 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Of course not. Ross. It's the only name I go by. 140 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Never had your name changed? 141 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000 No. 142 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Never used an alias? 143 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000 I told you, no. 144 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000 I wonder if you'd mind taking a look at this. 145 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000 Here you go, this here. 146 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000 What's this got to do with me? 147 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 The pink slip to Paul Davis' car. 148 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 See these signatures on the back here? Transfer of ownership. Recognize either one of them? 149 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Paul Davis and Ray's car. 150 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Well, doesn't mean anything to me. Is it supposed to? 151 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000 It should, yeah. 152 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000 Why? 153 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 The signatures are both in your handwriting. 154 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000 How about it, Henry? 155 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000 How about what? I don't even know what you're talking about. You're trying to give me the treatment. What's this all about? 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000 I'm trying to locate Paul Davis. 157 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000 I'm not even sure I know the car. 158 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000 I think you better level, Henry. Our handwriting man checked both the signatures. It's your writing. 159 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Well, then maybe you better get a new handwriting man. I never saw that slip. I never wrote those signatures. Anybody can copy handwriting. 160 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Well, I've got something else for you, Ross. I'd like to have you check it over, see if you can identify it. 161 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000 What is it? 162 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000 It's a letter. I want to take a look here. 163 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Does that mean anything to you? 164 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 No, nothing. I hope you're not going to tell me this is my handwriting. 165 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000 That's what the report says. 166 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Oh, it's crazy. I never wrote like that in my life. 167 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000 All the writing characteristics match up. Same as the signatures on the pink slip. 168 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000 All right. Maybe they are the same. I didn't write either one. I never wrote like that in my life. Here, let me show you how I write. 169 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 No, it's all right, Henry. Ben, you want to pull the package tomorrow night? 170 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Yeah, okay. 171 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000 I don't savvy one bit of this, Sergeant. How about laying it out in here? 172 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000 You can see the name at the bottom of the letter. It's signed Henry Carter, same as the pink slip. 173 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Well, that doesn't mean anything to me. 174 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000 This letter was sent to the wife of Paul Davis about nine weeks ago. 175 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000 And it says here that Davis supposedly was too busy to write his wife, so he had this Henry Carter send a letter. 176 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000 He also writes in here that Davis sold his car to Carter. 177 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Somebody trying to cover up, huh? 178 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Yeah, we think so. We think it's Henry Carter. 179 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000 This Davis guy has been gone about four months? 180 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000 That's right. 181 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000 You said you thought Davis was murdered. How come? 182 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Just an idea. 183 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Eight men had disappeared from around here in the last 14 months, just like Davis. 184 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000 Six more up in the San Joaquin Valley the same way. 185 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000 They took off alone on auto trips. We've never seen again.
