Says his wife's supposed to meet him a half hour ago and she 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,480 hasn't shown up. 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,480 He called his house? 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760 Yeah, she's not there either. Says she's never been late before. 69 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Yeah, it's always the first time. 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Well, he doesn't think so. 71 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,080 Huh? 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,080 He thinks she's been kidnapped. 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Frank and I left the office and drove over to the bar. It was located on the corner of 74 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Normandy Avenue and Monroe Street. In the event the story we'd gotten on the phone was true 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,040 and the woman had been kidnapped, we parked the car down the street and I walked back 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,560 to the place. A couple of minutes later, Frank followed. We met the man who'd placed the 77 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560 call, George Cabot. We asked him to tell us what was wrong. 78 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Sure didn't waste any time getting here. 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,160 You want to tell us what's happened? 80 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Yeah, my wife's gone. 81 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,160 How do you mean? 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,160 Ethel's disappeared. 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,160 When did you see her last? 84 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,160 This morning when I left the house. 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,160 Have you talked to her since then? 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,160 Yeah, at 12.55 tonight. She called her to tell me she was on the way down. 87 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,160 Does she seem all right then? 88 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,160 As far as I could tell. 89 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,160 It's possible that she might have stopped at one of the neighbors. 90 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160 Well, I thought about that too, but I checked and none of them have seen her. 91 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,160 You called your home, hadn't you? 92 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160 Yeah, I didn't get any answer. I tell you something's happened to Ethel. I'm about to 93 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,160 blow my court not knowing what it is. 94 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160 Well, maybe she's still at the house and didn't hear the phone ring. 95 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160 Yeah, I figured that too. Maybe that's her. 96 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,160 Hello, Ethel. What? 97 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,160 No, this is Cabot's barn grill. 98 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,160 Yes, ma'am. 99 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,160 Who? 100 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160 No, I didn't see him tonight. 101 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,160 No, I'm sure. Yeah, I'd know him. 102 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,160 No, lady, I'm not lying for him. He isn't here. 103 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160 Yeah, if I see him, I will. 104 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,160 Yeah, good night. 105 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,160 Pardon her. 106 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,160 Woman's in the same fix I'm in, only she can't find her husband. 107 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Cabot? 108 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,160 Yes, sir. 109 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160 I hope you won't be offended by this, but does your wife drink? 110 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,160 You mean you think she stopped at some barn, got gassed up, and just didn't show up? Is that what you mean? 111 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160 No, that's not exactly what I meant. I just asked if your wife drank. 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,160 Well, you got it all wrong. Ethel has a martini once in a while before dinner, but if she wanted to drink any more than that, she could come down here and I'd pour for her. 113 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,160 All right. It's a question we have to ask. You understand that? 114 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160 Just as long as you don't think that Ethel's a lush, because she isn't. 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,160 You said you checked your house, huh? 116 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,160 Yeah, when she didn't show up, I waited a while, and then I got worried and called Mrs. Lawrence. She's the lady next door. 117 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,160 Ask her if she's seen Ethel. 118 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,160 Yeah. 119 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,160 I think my wife had been over there all evening. They were playing that baseball game, line drive, you know, with the cards. 120 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,160 I don't think I know it. 121 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,160 It's a new game. Anyway, they played that for a while, and then they watched the television, and at 12.30, Ethel said she had to come down and meet me. 122 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,160 Mrs. Lawrence said she left the house then and drove away. 123 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,160 Uh-huh. 124 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Her neighbor's kind of bubble-headed, you know. She's not real bright about things, so I thought that maybe Ethel had gotten sick and couldn't answer the phone when I called. 125 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,160 Yeah. 126 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,160 I called the cab and went home. The car was gone, so was Ethel. I checked the whole house in the yard, not a sign of her. 127 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,160 And in the front closet, too. Her coat was gone. I'm sure she left the house. 128 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:26,160 I had the cab driver come back to the bar the same way that Ethel always drives it. I thought maybe it was an accident or something. If there was, I'd be able to see it. You know, people are cops and stuff. 129 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Yeah, I understand. 130 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,160 Wasn't anything. 131 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,160 Does she always come down here at night? 132 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Regular is clockwork. Never misses. Excuse me. 133 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Yeah, sure. 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:42,160 Hello. Yeah. No, I remember. No, ma'am, I haven't seen you. 135 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:51,160 Look, lady, I got my own troubles. I'm not trying to cover up for your husband. Well, it doesn't make any difference to me or not what you think. He isn't here. 136 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Okay, that's fine with me. He never ran up more than a 30-cent tab anyway. And even then, he ate all the peanuts on the barn. You tell him I said so. Yeah, good night. 137 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,160 Real crackpot. 138 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160 You were saying that your wife made it a practice to come down here, is that right? 139 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:17,160 That's right. You see, our boy was killed in the Pacific five years ago, our only kid. We both took it pretty hard. Got on Ethel's nerves sitting around the house by herself, so she drive down to pick me up. Get here a little early and help me with the cleanup. 140 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,160 Yes, sir. 141 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:29,160 Called at 1255 to say she was leaving, walking the door at 105. Didn't vary more than a minute, either way. Depend on the light at the corner of Denmore and Santa Monica. If she makes it green, it's 104 when she walks in. Otherwise, she's a minute later. 142 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,160 Does she always call before she leaves the house? 143 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,160 I can walk over to the phone at five-o-one and pick it up and know she's going to be on the other end. 144 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160 Has your wife been in good mental spirits lately, do you know? 145 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,160 How do you mean? 146 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Well, I mean, has there been anything on her mind? Anything that worried her more than usual? 147 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,160 No, she didn't say anything. If there was, I'd have been able to tell. 148 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Is there any special reason why you think she's been kidnapped? 149 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,160 Just that she's gone. It doesn't like Ethel to do something like this. I know it's not her idea. 150 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Never done anything like this before, then? 151 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,160 No. 152 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,160 Do you have a picture of her we could have? 153 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,160 Sure, I got one in my wallet. And probably that woman again. 154 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,160 Hello, look, I haven't seen your... 155 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,160 What? 156 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Now, look, don't you try that with me. 157 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,160 No, I don't. If you hurt her, I'll make you sorry the rest of your life. 158 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,160 Hello? Hello? 159 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Kevin? Kevin? 160 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,160 What? 161 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,160 What's the matter? 162 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,160 Nothing. I guess I made a mistake about the whole thing. 163 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,160 Why do you mean that? 164 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,160 I guess nothing's happened, Ethel. Just forget I called you about it. 165 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,160 Is that the way you want it? 166 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,160 Yeah, I'm sorry to cause you all the trouble. I'd like to buy you a drink if I can. 167 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,160 No, thanks. 168 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Sorry about the whole thing. 169 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,160 You want to tell us what they said? 170 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,160 Who? 171 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Party on the phone, man. 172 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,160 I don't want to talk about anything. 173 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,160 You're not going to help your wife that way. Not what they asked for. 174 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,160 Look, I told you guys it was all a mistake. Now, why not let it go at that? 175 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,160 How about the picture you were going to give us? 176 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,160 There's no reason for it.
