It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the night watch out 02:40.840 --> 02:45.080 a homicide detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Lorman. My name's Friday. 02:45.080 --> 02:48.880 I was on my way back from missing persons and it was 1.27 a.m. when I got back to room 02:48.880 --> 02:50.880 42, homicide squad room. 02:50.880 --> 02:53.320 Hi, Joe. You talk to Graham? 02:53.320 --> 02:54.320 Yeah, he just got in. 02:54.320 --> 02:55.320 How'd they do? 02:55.320 --> 02:56.320 Well, they came up with a kid. 02:56.320 --> 02:57.320 Where'd they find him? 02:57.320 --> 03:00.160 The boyfriends. They were watching TV. The missing youngster told his friend his mother 03:00.160 --> 03:01.160 knew he was there. 03:01.160 --> 03:02.680 Uh-huh. Everything's all right then, huh? 03:02.680 --> 03:05.840 Yeah, I guess so. Graham said the kid's gonna have to eat standing up for a few days. 03:05.840 --> 03:07.200 You know what's funny thing about parents? 03:07.200 --> 03:08.200 What do you mean? 03:08.200 --> 03:10.240 Thing like this happens and all they care about is getting their kids back. 03:10.240 --> 03:11.240 Uh-huh. 03:11.240 --> 03:14.280 After a while they begin to think about it and get sore. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 03:14.280 --> 03:16.280 Well, you figured you got a couple of kids. 03:16.280 --> 03:18.120 Yeah, I guess it'd be the same way. 03:18.120 --> 03:26.360 I got it. Homicide Friday. Yes, sir, that's right. Well, where were you supposed to meet 03:26.360 --> 03:29.360 her? Well, have you checked there? 03:29.360 --> 03:30.360 Let's see. 03:30.360 --> 03:33.360 All right, you want to give me that address? 03:33.360 --> 03:40.360 Yes, sir. No, we'll be right out. Right. Goodbye, sir. 03:40.360 --> 03:42.960 I got one little better check here. 03:42.960 --> 03:43.960 Yeah? 03:43.960 --> 03:46.480 Bartender out on Normandy. Says his wife's supposed to meet him a half hour ago and she 03:46.480 --> 03:47.480 hasn't shown up. 03:47.480 --> 03:48.480 He called his house? 03:48.480 --> 03:50.760 Yeah, she's not there either. Says she's never been late before. 03:50.760 --> 03:52.080 Yeah, it's always the first time. 03:52.080 --> 03:53.080 Well, he doesn't think so. 03:53.080 --> 03:54.080 Huh? 03:54.080 --> 03:55.080 He thinks she's been kidnapped. 03:55.080 --> 04:04.520 Frank and I left the office and drove over to the bar. It was located on the corner of 04:04.520 --> 04:09.000 Normandy Avenue and Monroe Street. In the event the story we'd gotten on the phone was true 04:09.000 --> 04:13.040 and the woman had been kidnapped, we parked the car down the street and I walked back 04:13.040 --> 04:17.560 to the place. A couple of minutes later, Frank followed. We met the man who'd placed the 04:17.560 --> 04:20.560 call, George Cabot. We asked him to tell us what was wrong. 04:20.560 --> 04:22.160 Sure didn't waste any time getting here. 04:22.160 --> 04:23.160 You want to tell us what's happened? 04:23.160 --> 04:24.160 Yeah, my wife's gone. 04:24.160 --> 04:25.160 How do you mean? 04:25.160 --> 04:26.160 Ethel's disappeared. 04:26.160 --> 04:27.160 When did you see her last? 04:27.160 --> 04:28.160 This morning when I left the house. 04:28.160 --> 04:29.160 Have you talked to her since then? 04:29.160 --> 04:33.160 Yeah, at 12.55 tonight. She called her to tell me she was on the way down. 04:33.160 --> 04:35.160 Does she seem all right then? 04:35.160 --> 04:36.160 As far as I could tell. 04:36.160 --> 04:37.160 It's possible that she might have stopped at one of the neighbors. 04:37.160 --> 04:40.160 Well, I thought about that too, but I checked and none of them have seen her. 04:40.160 --> 04:41.160 You called your home, hadn't you? 04:41.160 --> 04:44.160 Yeah, I didn't get any answer. I tell you something's happened to Ethel. I'm about to 04:44.160 --> 04:46.160 blow my court not knowing what it is. 04:46.160 --> 04:48.160 Well, maybe she's still at the house and didn't hear the phone ring. 04:48.160 --> 04:51.160 Yeah, I figured that too. Maybe that's her. 04:51.160 --> 04:55.160 Hello, Ethel. What? 04:55.160 --> 04:58.160 No, this is Cabot's barn grill. 04:58.160 --> 05:00.160 Yes, ma'am. 05:00.160 --> 05:01.160 Who? 05:01.160 --> 05:03.160 No, I didn't see him tonight. 05:03.160 --> 05:07.160 No, I'm sure. Yeah, I'd know him. 05:07.160 --> 05:10.160 No, lady, I'm not lying for him. He isn't here. 05:10.160 --> 05:12.160 Yeah, if I see him, I will. 05:12.160 --> 05:14.160 Yeah, good night. 05:14.160 --> 05:16.160 Pardon her. 05:16.160 --> 05:19.160 Woman's in the same fix I'm in, only she can't find her husband. 05:19.160 --> 05:20.160 Cabot? 05:20.160 --> 05:21.160 Yes, sir. 05:21.160 --> 05:23.160 I hope you won't be offended by this, but does your wife drink? 05:23.160 --> 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? 05:27.160 --> 05:29.160 No, that's not exactly what I meant. I just asked if your wife drank. 05:29.160 --> 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. 05:35.160 --> 05:38.160 All right. It's a question we have to ask. You understand that? 05:38.160 --> 05:40.160 Just as long as you don't think that Ethel's a lush, because she isn't. 05:40.160 --> 05:42.160 You said you checked your house, huh? 05:42.160 --> 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. 05:46.160 --> 05:48.160 Ask her if she's seen Ethel. 05:48.160 --> 05:49.160 Yeah. 05:49.160 --> 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. 05:54.160 --> 05:55.160 I don't think I know it. 05:55.160 --> 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. 06:01.160 --> 06:03.160 Mrs. Lawrence said she left the house then and drove away. 06:03.160 --> 06:04.160 Uh-huh. 06:04.160 --> 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. 06:10.160 --> 06:11.160 Yeah. 06:11.160 --> 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. 06:16.160 --> 06:19.160 And in the front closet, too. Her coat was gone. I'm sure she left the house. 06:19.160 --> 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. 06:26.160 --> 06:27.160 Yeah, I understand. 06:27.160 --> 06:28.160 Wasn't anything. 06:28.160 --> 06:30.160 Does she always come down here at night? 06:30.160 --> 06:32.160 Regular is clockwork. Never misses. Excuse me. 06:32.160 --> 06:34.160 Yeah, sure. 06:35.160 --> 06:42.160 Hello. Yeah. No, I remember. No, ma'am, I haven't seen you. 06:42.160 --> 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. 06:51.160 --> 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. 06:59.160 --> 07:00.160 Real crackpot. 07:00.160 --> 07:03.160 You were saying that your wife made it a practice to come down here, is that right? 07:03.160 --> 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. 07:17.160 --> 07:18.160 Yes, sir. 07:18.160 --> 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. 07:29.160 --> 07:31.160 Does she always call before she leaves the house? 07:31.160 --> 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. 07:35.160 --> 07:37.160 Has your wife been in good mental spirits lately, do you know? 07:37.160 --> 07:38.160 How do you mean? 07:38.160 --> 07:42.160 Well, I mean, has there been anything on her mind? Anything that worried her more than usual? 07:42.160 --> 07:44.160 No, she didn't say anything. If there was, I'd have been able to tell. 07:44.160 --> 07:47.160 Is there any special reason why you think she's been kidnapped? 07:47.160 --> 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. 07:51.160 --> 07:52.160 Never done anything like this before, then? 07:52.160 --> 07:53.160 No. 07:53.160 --> 07:54.160 Do you have a picture of her we could have? 07:54.160 --> 07:58.160 Sure, I got one in my wallet. And probably that woman again. 07:58.160 --> 08:01.160 Hello, look, I haven't seen your... 08:01.160 --> 08:03.160 What? 08:03.160 --> 08:06.160 Now, look, don't you try that with me. 08:06.160 --> 08:10.160 No, I don't. If you hurt her, I'll make you sorry the rest of your life. 08:10.160 --> 08:13.160 Hello? Hello? 08:17.160 --> 08:20.160 Kevin? Kevin? 08:20.160 --> 08:21.160 What? 08:21.160 --> 08:22.160 What's the matter? 08:22.160 --> 08:26.160 Nothing. I guess I made a mistake about the whole thing. 08:26.160 --> 08:28.160 Why do you mean that? 08:28.160 --> 08:31.160 I guess nothing's happened, Ethel. Just forget I called you about it. 08:31.160 --> 08:32.160 Is that the way you want it? 08:32.160 --> 08:35.160 Yeah, I'm sorry to cause you all the trouble. I'd like to buy you a drink if I can. 08:35.160 --> 08:36.160 No, thanks. 08:36.160 --> 08:39.160 Sorry about the whole thing. 08:39.160 --> 08:41.160 You want to tell us what they said? 08:41.160 --> 08:42.160 Who? 08:42.160 --> 08:43.160 Party on the phone, man. 08:43.160 --> 08:45.160 I don't want to talk about anything. 08:45.160 --> 08:47.160 You're not going to help your wife that way. Not what they asked for. 08:47.160 --> 08:50.160 Look, I told you guys it was all a mistake. Now, why not let it go at that? 08:50.160 --> 08:52.160 How about the picture you were going to give us? 08:52.160 --> 08:54.160 There's no reason for it. The whole thing's a goof-up. 08:54.160 --> 08:56.160 Well, your talk on the phone didn't make it sound that way. 08:56.160 --> 08:58.160 All right, she's gone. Those are the people who have her. 08:58.160 --> 09:00.160 They asked for money? 09:00.160 --> 09:04.160 No. They said for me to sit tight and not to tell anybody or they'd kill Ethel. 09:04.160 --> 09:05.160 I'm going to do like they say. 09:05.160 --> 09:07.160 You're taking a big responsibility on yourself, Kevin. 09:07.160 --> 09:09.160 Maybe so, but she's my wife. 09:09.160 --> 09:12.160 This is a big city. It's going to be a little tough for us to find the kidnappers without your help. 09:12.160 --> 09:13.160 That's so bad. 09:13.160 --> 09:14.160 How do you mean that? 09:14.160 --> 09:16.160 I've got an idea who they are. It isn't going to be too hard to find out. 09:16.160 --> 09:19.160 You go out on a limb and you may give your wife more trouble and help. 09:19.160 --> 09:21.160 Ethel's my wife. 09:21.160 --> 09:22.160 You're not going to let us help you then, huh? 09:22.160 --> 09:25.160 No, and I don't want to go over it anymore. I got the only stake in this anyway. 09:25.160 --> 09:26.160 Well, you're wrong about that. 09:26.160 --> 09:27.160 What? 09:27.160 --> 09:28.160 What about your wife? 09:37.160 --> 09:40.160 Because of his attitude, it was useless to question George Cabot any further. 09:40.160 --> 09:43.160 We left the bar and got in touch with the office. 09:43.160 --> 09:46.160 We made arrangements for a complete 24-hour surveillance to be kept on him. 09:46.160 --> 09:51.160 In most cases of this type, the kidnappers usually demand that the victim's friends or relatives stay away from law enforcement. 09:51.160 --> 09:53.160 They do this to stall for time. 09:53.160 --> 09:59.160 Statistics prove that in the vast majority of cases, the victim's fate was decided long before the kidnapping occurred. 09:59.160 --> 10:04.160 It never is the intent of any officer to endanger the life of a kidnapped victim, but at the same time, 10:04.160 --> 10:10.160 it is necessary for them to have all available information so that they can move rapidly when the case does break. 10:10.160 --> 10:15.160 In an effort to gain more information on the missing woman, Frank and I went over to see the victim's next door neighbor. 10:15.160 --> 10:18.160 She identified herself as Carol Lawrence and asked us into the house. 10:18.160 --> 10:21.160 I'm not sure this is quite proper, you know. 10:21.160 --> 10:22.160 What's that, Miss Lawrence? 10:22.160 --> 10:25.160 A couple of men in my house at this hour, especially with me in my bathrobe. 10:25.160 --> 10:26.160 I'm sure the neighbors want to see you. 10:26.160 --> 10:29.160 I hope so.
