07:48.200 --> 07:49.200 Kelby died and never regained consciousness. 07:49.200 --> 07:56.840 With the death of the victim, any information he might have given us about his killers was 07:56.840 --> 07:57.840 gone. 07:57.840 --> 08:02.840 The one witness to the murder was shown the mug books but was unable to identify the suspects. 08:02.840 --> 08:05.840 Sergeant Skilling-Sienis and Danny Galindo canvassed the neighborhood and came up with 08:05.840 --> 08:09.680 the driver of a bakery truck who thought he'd seen the killers leave the club. 08:09.680 --> 08:14.040 He told them that two men answering the description given us had walked out of the club and gotten 08:14.040 --> 08:15.840 into a late model Mercury sedan. 08:15.840 --> 08:18.920 He'd not been able to get the license number of the car, however. 08:18.920 --> 08:22.240 He was brought into the office and shown the mug books but he was unable to point out the 08:22.240 --> 08:23.240 killers for us. 08:23.240 --> 08:26.640 In checking the neighborhood, Skilling-Sienis and Galindo had come up with a waitress who 08:26.640 --> 08:30.680 had seen two men answering the description of the killers loitering around the area. 08:30.680 --> 08:35.600 She also described the Mercury sedan but said that she hadn't paid much attention to it. 08:35.600 --> 08:39.520 Because of the smoothness with which the holdup men had operated, indications led us to believe 08:39.520 --> 08:42.920 that they'd been tipped off by somebody working for the club. 08:42.920 --> 08:46.040 Proceeding with this theory, we checked with the club owner, a Mr. John Watson. 08:46.040 --> 08:47.800 We found him in the kitchen of his home. 08:47.800 --> 08:49.800 Hope you don't mind if I finish up here, officer. 08:49.800 --> 08:51.040 No, not at all, Mr. Watson. 08:51.040 --> 08:54.280 Guess it seems a little silly to you for a man to be in the kitchen. 08:54.280 --> 08:55.520 Kind of a hobby of mine, cooking. 08:55.520 --> 08:56.520 Yes, sir. 08:56.520 --> 08:57.520 Making a cheesecake. 08:57.520 --> 09:00.720 Got some friends coming over tonight, figured a cheesecake might taste good later in the 09:00.720 --> 09:01.720 evening. 09:01.720 --> 09:02.720 Yes, sir, you go right ahead. 09:02.720 --> 09:03.720 We just have a few questions we'd like to ask you. 09:03.720 --> 09:04.720 About the robbery? 09:04.720 --> 09:05.720 Terrible thing. 09:05.720 --> 09:08.640 I don't understand why Kelby just didn't give him the money. 09:08.640 --> 09:09.640 Not give him any reason to shoot. 09:09.640 --> 09:12.920 Do you have any idea who might have known that the money would be in the office at the 09:12.920 --> 09:13.920 time? 09:13.920 --> 09:16.720 You know, almost everyone that worked in the place, not making mention of the salesman that 09:16.720 --> 09:17.720 came in. 09:17.720 --> 09:19.480 Would you hand me that rolling pin over there? 09:19.480 --> 09:21.080 Yeah, here you are. 09:21.080 --> 09:22.080 Thanks. 09:22.080 --> 09:23.640 Trust with cheesecake's important. 09:23.640 --> 09:25.680 That's one of the reasons I make it myself. 09:25.680 --> 09:27.560 Can't stand a soggy trust. 09:27.560 --> 09:31.080 Are there any of your employees that you think might do a thing like this? 09:31.080 --> 09:32.400 Well, that'd be hard to say. 09:32.400 --> 09:34.560 I didn't get around the club much. 09:34.560 --> 09:36.960 Once in a while I dropped by, chatted with Kelby. 09:36.960 --> 09:38.920 He did the hiring and firing. 09:38.920 --> 09:40.520 Long as the place made money, I didn't interfere. 09:40.520 --> 09:44.080 Well, the way it looks, it could be very likely that one of the employees did it. 09:44.080 --> 09:46.520 The men who pulled the job seemed to know just what they were doing. 09:46.520 --> 09:47.520 That right? 09:47.520 --> 09:48.520 Yes, sir. 09:48.520 --> 09:50.320 I wonder if we could look through your employment records. 09:50.320 --> 09:51.320 Sure, of course. 09:51.320 --> 09:53.320 Anything I can do to help out on this thing. 09:53.320 --> 09:55.840 Would you hand me that pan over there? 09:55.840 --> 09:56.840 Where? 09:56.840 --> 09:57.840 This one? 09:57.840 --> 09:58.840 Yeah. 09:58.840 --> 09:59.840 Thanks. 09:59.840 --> 10:03.520 Get this crushed in with and the cheesecake's about ready. 10:03.520 --> 10:06.080 Sure, you can look at the record. 10:06.080 --> 10:08.920 See what that's going to show, but you're welcome to them. 10:08.920 --> 10:11.080 What kind of a car do you drive, Mr. Watson? 10:11.080 --> 10:12.080 New Lincoln. 10:12.080 --> 10:13.440 Just got it a couple of weeks ago. 10:13.440 --> 10:16.640 Any of your employees drive a late model Mercury that you might know of? 10:16.640 --> 10:17.640 No. 10:17.640 --> 10:21.480 Like I said, I don't really have a lot to do with the actual operation of the club. 10:21.480 --> 10:22.760 Kelby took care of that. 10:22.760 --> 10:23.760 Good manager. 10:23.760 --> 10:24.760 Did a fine job. 10:24.760 --> 10:27.040 Can you tell us how much money they took, sir? 10:27.040 --> 10:28.040 No. 10:28.040 --> 10:30.960 Near as we can tell, it came to a little over $1,100. 10:30.960 --> 10:33.880 Some of that was in checks, you know, that we cash for our customers. 10:33.880 --> 10:37.360 Well, that finishes that. 10:37.360 --> 10:43.120 Get this together. 10:43.120 --> 10:44.720 Now get in the oven. 10:44.720 --> 10:45.720 Looks good, doesn't it? 10:45.720 --> 10:46.720 Yeah, sir. 10:46.720 --> 10:51.040 You should taste it. 10:51.040 --> 10:55.120 Set it for 350 for 25 minutes and that does it. 10:55.120 --> 10:57.800 Now then, can I get you offers? 10:57.800 --> 10:58.800 Is there anything? 10:58.800 --> 10:59.800 A cup of coffee, something like that? 10:59.800 --> 11:00.800 No, sir. 11:00.800 --> 11:02.840 If you just arrange for us to check your employment records. 11:02.840 --> 11:04.800 Certainly, I'll call the club right away. 11:04.800 --> 11:06.000 We'd appreciate that. 11:06.000 --> 11:08.960 My brother-in-law's down there looking after things now. 11:08.960 --> 11:09.960 He's an idiot. 11:09.960 --> 11:11.960 Never could get a job on his own. 11:11.960 --> 11:14.360 I only hired him because my wife insisted on it. 11:14.360 --> 11:17.280 Yeah, he'd probably botch up the whole thing. 11:17.280 --> 11:18.280 Usually does. 11:18.280 --> 11:19.280 Well, if you'd call him, sir. 11:19.280 --> 11:20.280 How's Kelby's condition?
