15:33.720 --> 15:35.720 No, he said they'd been taken to some sort of emergency place. 15:35.720 --> 15:37.720 Oh, he said, all right, go ahead, please. 15:37.720 --> 15:41.720 Well, when I asked him for the name of the place, he wouldn't tell me. 15:41.720 --> 15:44.720 He just said I should hurry up, that my folks had been hurt pretty bad. 15:44.720 --> 15:45.720 That was a dirty lie. 15:45.720 --> 15:48.720 Anyway, I told him I wouldn't go, and he grabbed me. 15:48.720 --> 15:49.720 He said he was going to take me. 15:49.720 --> 15:51.720 He should like to get my hands on him. 15:51.720 --> 15:53.720 Was the other man downstairs all this time?

16:48.720 --> 16:50.720 Well, he took me out the car. 16:50.720 --> 16:52.720 It was parked outside in front of the house. 16:52.720 --> 16:55.720 Did he get a good look at the car? 16:55.720 --> 16:56.720 Mm-hmm. 16:56.720 --> 16:57.720 He can give us a description of it, then. 16:57.720 --> 16:59.720 Yeah, I can tell you all about it. 16:59.720 --> 17:00.720 All right, where'd the men take you? 17:00.720 --> 17:02.720 Well, they drove for a long time. 17:02.720 --> 17:04.720 I think it's up in the hill someplace, up in Laurel Canyon. 17:04.720 --> 17:05.720 Mm-hmm. 17:05.720 --> 17:08.720 There's this kind of a house there, tar paper. 17:08.720 --> 17:11.720 Looks like the buildings they had when they were building the freeway. 17:11.720 --> 17:14.720 Tar paper shacks, like the, you know, they keep the blueprints in. 17:14.720 --> 17:15.720 Mm-hmm. 17:15.720 --> 17:17.720 One of those didn't even have a floor, just dirt. 17:17.720 --> 17:19.720 They put me in there and left me. 17:19.720 --> 17:21.720 I heard them lock the door when they went away. 17:21.720 --> 17:22.720 I see. 17:22.720 --> 17:24.720 I didn't know what to do. 17:24.720 --> 17:26.720 I sat there for a little while and tried to think what to do. 17:26.720 --> 17:28.720 Did they have you tied in any way? 17:28.720 --> 17:30.720 Yeah, they had ropes around my hands and around my feet. 17:30.720 --> 17:31.720 Mm-hmm. 17:31.720 --> 17:33.720 I fell asleep after a while. 17:33.720 --> 17:35.720 Cried for a while and then fell asleep. 17:35.720 --> 17:37.720 Oh, my poor baby. 17:37.720 --> 17:39.720 I guess it was morning when I woke up. 17:39.720 --> 17:41.720 I couldn't tell too good because there wasn't any window in the shack, 17:41.720 --> 17:43.720 just the walls and no floor. 17:43.720 --> 17:44.720 Mm-hmm. 17:44.720 --> 17:48.720 First, when I woke up, I didn't know where I was and I remembered. 17:48.720 --> 17:50.720 Did either of the men come back at all? 17:50.720 --> 17:54.720 No, I sat there for a while and then I tried to think of some way I could get away. 17:54.720 --> 17:55.720 Yeah. 17:55.720 --> 17:58.720 There was a whiskey bottle on the floor and I kicked it until I broke it. 17:58.720 --> 18:01.720 Then I took one of the pieces and cut the ropes on my hand. 18:01.720 --> 18:04.720 I untied my feet and then just went around the shack, 18:04.720 --> 18:07.720 kicking the walls until I found a place that wasn't strong. 18:07.720 --> 18:09.720 I found one and I crawled through. 18:09.720 --> 18:10.720 Mm-hmm. What did you do then? 18:10.720 --> 18:11.720 I started to walk. 18:11.720 --> 18:14.720 It was pretty late by that time and I started to walk down the road. 18:14.720 --> 18:16.720 I was looking for a house. 18:16.720 --> 18:18.720 I got to a street and walked along it for a while. 18:18.720 --> 18:22.720 There weren't many cars, but a truck came along and a driver stopped and gave me a lift. 18:22.720 --> 18:25.720 Drove me to Laurel and Hollywood Boulevard and then let me out. 18:25.720 --> 18:26.720 Yeah. 18:26.720 --> 18:27.720 After that, I walked home. 18:27.720 --> 18:29.720 You were real brave, honey. 18:29.720 --> 18:30.720 I was pretty scared. 18:30.720 --> 18:33.720 There were a lot of times I didn't know what to do. 18:33.720 --> 18:36.720 You just bet there were, baby, but you did good. You're safe now. 18:36.720 --> 18:38.720 Can you describe the two men for us, do you think? 18:38.720 --> 18:39.720 I guess so. 18:39.720 --> 18:42.720 One of them was dark, kind of short, looked like... 18:42.720 --> 18:44.720 Oh, what's his name? 18:44.720 --> 18:47.720 You see him on television all the time, real moon-looking. 18:47.720 --> 18:49.720 I'll think of his name. 18:49.720 --> 18:50.720 I looked exactly like him. 18:50.720 --> 18:52.720 What about the other one? 18:52.720 --> 18:57.720 He wasn't very big either, kind of brown hair, thin, had blue eyes, watery blue eyes. 18:57.720 --> 18:59.720 Were those the only two men you saw? 18:59.720 --> 19:01.720 Yeah, just the two. 19:01.720 --> 19:04.720 Did they talk about anybody else being in on the kidnapping with them, do you remember? 19:04.720 --> 19:06.720 Not that I could hear. 19:06.720 --> 19:07.720 You're sure about that, are you? 19:07.720 --> 19:08.720 Yes. 19:08.720 --> 19:10.720 Sergeant, what's so important about that? 19:10.720 --> 19:12.720 Well, sir, we've got a man in custody, the one who calls you. 19:12.720 --> 19:13.720 Yes. 19:13.720 --> 19:15.720 Neither one of these descriptions match him. 19:15.720 --> 19:19.720 We continue to talk to the Moran girl. 19:19.720 --> 19:22.720 We got a complete description of both men involved and of the car they used. 19:22.720 --> 19:24.720 Local and APBs were gotten out on them. 19:24.720 --> 19:29.720 The fact that the descriptions varied and did not match the suspect we had in custody meant very little. 19:29.720 --> 19:33.720 A witness or a victim under stress might easily be mistaken. 19:33.720 --> 19:36.720 We talked with a family doctor and he told us that after a good night's sleep, 19:36.720 --> 19:38.720 the girl would be able to cooperate with us completely. 19:38.720 --> 19:43.720 The following morning, Monday, April 19th, a special show-up was arranged at the main jail. 19:43.720 --> 19:46.720 Our suspect was placed in a line with other men in custody. 19:46.720 --> 19:49.720 Bunny Moran failed to identify him. 19:49.720 --> 19:51.720 Frank and I took her over to the city hall and had her look through mugshots 19:51.720 --> 19:55.720 that had been pulled from packages as a result of a run by the stats office. 19:55.720 --> 19:57.720 She was unable to point out a suspect. 19:57.720 --> 20:01.720 1.40 p.m. We asked her if she could show us the shack where she'd been held captive. 20:01.720 --> 20:02.720 She said she could. 20:02.720 --> 20:05.720 We called her parents and told them where we were going and then we left the office. 20:05.720 --> 20:09.720 We picked up a policewoman and drove out the freeway to Sunset Boulevard and turned off. 20:09.720 --> 20:12.720 When we got to Laurel Canyon Boulevard, we drove past Lookout Mountain Avenue 20:12.720 --> 20:14.720 and then we turned left onto a dirt road. 20:14.720 --> 20:16.720 We drove for about a mile and a half. 20:16.720 --> 20:19.720 There was no sign of any type of building. 20:19.720 --> 20:21.720 It's right up ahead around the next corner. 20:21.720 --> 20:23.720 You sure you're on the right road? 20:23.720 --> 20:26.720 Yeah, I remember walking down this one. That's right. 20:26.720 --> 20:29.720 Hey, that's as far as we can go. Dead end. 20:29.720 --> 20:32.720 Maybe I did make a mistake. Maybe I did. 20:32.720 --> 20:35.720 I was sure it was along here, but maybe I was wrong. 20:35.720 --> 20:39.720 It might have been the next road up. You know, the one past where we turned off? 20:39.720 --> 20:41.720 Uh-huh. You want to turn around, Frank? 20:41.720 --> 20:44.720 Yeah. 20:44.720 --> 20:47.720 I'm sure I'm sorry about it. That's all right, Miss. 20:47.720 --> 20:49.720 Guess it seems like a wild goose chase, huh? 20:49.720 --> 20:51.720 No. I sure hope not. 20:51.720 --> 20:53.720 I know where it is. I just got mixed up. 20:53.720 --> 20:56.720 All right. We'll find it. I'm sure we will. 20:56.720 --> 20:59.720 Can't just disappear, can it? No, not likely. 20:59.720 --> 21:03.720 Here's someplace. You'll see. Yeah, we'll see. 21:03.720 --> 21:08.720 We went back to Laurel Canyon Boulevard and drove up all of the dirt roads in the vicinity. 21:08.720 --> 21:12.720 We didn't find the shack. Each time, Bunny Moran would offer some excuse. 21:12.720 --> 21:15.720 Finally, we asked her to describe the truck that had picked her up. 21:15.720 --> 21:18.720 She gave us a description that would fit two or three hundred vehicles in the city. 21:18.720 --> 21:21.720 She was unable to tell us the name of the driver who'd stopped. 21:21.720 --> 21:24.720 We took her back to the office and asked her to go over the story again. 21:24.720 --> 21:27.720 When she finished, Frank left to get Captain Powers. 21:27.720 --> 21:29.720 All right, you want to tell us now? What do you mean? 21:29.720 --> 21:31.720 The real story, the way it really happened. 21:31.720 --> 21:33.720 Might be easier if you told us first, don't you think? 21:33.720 --> 21:37.720 I told you there isn't any more to tell. I told you all how it happened. 21:37.720 --> 21:39.720 Why are you lying? 21:40.720 --> 21:43.720 I'm not lying. There's no way it happened. 21:43.720 --> 21:47.720 Now look, there are half a dozen places where the story you just told us doesn't fit with what you said last night. 21:47.720 --> 21:50.720 I was tired last night. Maybe I didn't remember. 21:50.720 --> 21:53.720 That's kind of hard to buy. Too many things that don't check out, Miss. 21:53.720 --> 21:56.720 The story about your dog, the fact that you can't find the shack. 21:56.720 --> 21:59.720 You don't know who the driver of the truck was. There are a lot of things that don't check out. 21:59.720 --> 22:02.720 You don't know who the driver of the truck was. There are a lot of things. 22:02.720 --> 22:05.720 I forgot. That's all. I made a mistake. Didn't you ever make a mistake? 22:05.720 --> 22:10.720 A lot of them. But last night you said only one of the men went upstairs with you, isn't that right? 22:10.720 --> 22:12.720 I don't remember. 22:12.720 --> 22:14.720 You seem pretty sure about it then. 22:14.720 --> 22:16.720 And I guess that's what I said. 22:16.720 --> 22:18.720 Only one of the men went with you, huh? 22:18.720 --> 22:20.720 That's what I said, yes. 22:20.720 --> 22:24.720 Well, and why, when you told the story just now, did you say that both of them went with you? 22:24.720 --> 22:29.720 I don't know. I don't know. You gave me all mixed up. 22:30.720 --> 22:32.720 Did you kill your dog? 22:34.720 --> 22:36.720 Did you? 22:36.720 --> 22:37.720 Yes. 22:37.720 --> 22:39.720 Why? 22:39.720 --> 22:41.720 I had to. 22:41.720 --> 22:43.720 To make the story sound real life. 22:43.720 --> 22:46.720 I didn't want to, but I had to. 22:46.720 --> 22:49.720 Why did you do it at all, Miss? 22:49.720 --> 22:52.720 So they wouldn't mind. That's the reason. 22:52.720 --> 22:55.720 What do you mean, so who wouldn't mind? 22:56.720 --> 22:59.720 You'll think it's silly. You won't think it's a good reason. 22:59.720 --> 23:02.720 Why don't you tell me anyway, huh? 23:03.720 --> 23:04.720 Because I was failing. 23:04.720 --> 23:05.720 What? 23:05.720 --> 23:10.720 I flunked at school. I flunked and I didn't want my folks to know. 23:10.720 --> 23:13.720 They'd be real mad. Real mad. 23:13.720 --> 23:16.720 So you figured this kidnaped thing out, huh? Played it that way. 23:16.720 --> 23:18.720 Yes. 23:18.720 --> 23:23.720 I thought that if something bad happened to me, they'd be so glad to have me back. 23:23.720 --> 23:25.720 It wouldn't matter about my flunking. 23:25.720 --> 23:28.720 The whole thing was a lie from the beginning to end, huh? 23:28.720 --> 23:31.720 Yes. All of it. 23:31.720 --> 23:33.720 All right, next time we better get going. 23:33.720 --> 23:34.720 Where? 23:34.720 --> 23:36.720 I'm going to take you home. 23:36.720 --> 23:38.720 You going to tell my folks about it? 23:38.720 --> 23:40.720 We haven't got much choice, have we? 23:40.720 --> 23:43.720 They'll be mad. Madder than they've ever been. 23:43.720 --> 23:44.720 Well, I guess they will. 23:44.720 --> 23:47.720 Well, I tell them. What'll I say? 23:47.720 --> 23:49.720 I'll tell you. Why don't you try something different? 23:49.720 --> 23:51.720 Tell them the truth. 23:59.720 --> 24:04.720 Presented at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Moran and their daughter Lucille. 24:04.720 --> 24:06.720 It was decided that no criminal complaint be issued, 24:06.720 --> 24:09.720 and the girl was released to the custody of her parents 24:09.720 --> 24:12.720 with the understanding that she be given psychiatric help. 24:12.720 --> 24:15.720 Further investigation showed Mark Parkwell Lansdale 24:15.720 --> 24:20.720 was wanted by authorities in Sacramento to answer a burglary charge. 24:20.720 --> 24:21.720 He was released to them. 24:21.720 --> 24:25.720 Dragnet, the story of your police force in action 24:25.720 --> 24:53.720 is a presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service. 24:55.720 --> 25:00.720 The United States Armed Forces Radio Service 25:00.720 --> 25:06.720 is a production of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service 25:06.720 --> 25:14.720 and the United States Air Force. 25:14.720 --> 25:24.720 The United States Armed Forces Radio Service 25:24.720 --> 25:47.720 is a production of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service
