06:14.000 --> 06:16.000 I was just thinking, 06:16.000 --> 06:18.000 maybe I'll have the last laugh at my wife's brother. 06:18.000 --> 06:19.000 What's that? 06:19.000 --> 06:26.000 He was coming to dinner. 06:26.000 --> 06:30.000 Further examination of the kitchen showed that about 20 cans of food had been taken. 06:30.000 --> 06:32.000 Angus Taft looked through the rest of the house, 06:32.000 --> 06:34.000 but he said he didn't think anything else was missing. 06:34.000 --> 06:39.000 Inspector Tom Strader said he was fairly sure there were no clothes in the closet when it burned. 06:39.000 --> 06:42.000 Men from the crime lab came out and took pictures of the window, 06:42.000 --> 06:44.000 and also of the place of origin of the fire. 06:44.000 --> 06:47.000 A detail from latent prints checked the house. 06:47.000 --> 06:49.000 Frank and I questioned people in the neighborhood, 06:49.000 --> 06:53.000 but none of them had seen or heard anyone around the Taft house before the fire started. 06:53.000 --> 06:57.000 Inspector Strader said he would notify our office of all similar house fires. 06:57.000 --> 07:00.000 The next night we got a report from latent prints. 07:00.000 --> 07:04.000 They said the prints they'd lifted from the Taft home belonged to members of the family. 07:04.000 --> 07:10.000 Ray Pinker sent word over from the crime lab that the marks on the windowsill had been made by a half-inch pry bar. 07:10.000 --> 07:13.000 On November 10th we got another call from Inspector Strader, 07:13.000 --> 07:16.000 and we went out to 2725 West 49th Street. 07:16.000 --> 07:20.000 By 1026 p.m. we had completed our inspection of the burned interior of the house, 07:20.000 --> 07:22.000 and we talked to the owner. 07:22.000 --> 07:24.000 That was pretty much like the last one. 07:24.000 --> 07:26.000 Looks like more damage this time, huh? 07:26.000 --> 07:29.000 Yeah, there's been a report of a fire started in this house. 07:29.000 --> 07:31.000 Same entry, bedroom window. 07:31.000 --> 07:33.000 Still an article just about the same, huh? 07:33.000 --> 07:34.000 I don't get that, Frank. 07:34.000 --> 07:35.000 How's that, Frank? 07:35.000 --> 07:36.000 It's not the stolen. 07:36.000 --> 07:37.000 Not much value to it. 07:37.000 --> 07:40.000 Costume jewelry, clothes, food, portable radio. 07:40.000 --> 07:43.000 You'd think anyone that goes out on a limb like this would try to make it worth his while. 07:43.000 --> 07:46.000 Nothing much we can set the usual sources for. 07:46.000 --> 07:48.000 One thing that might help us we don't have. 07:48.000 --> 07:49.000 What's that, Joe? 07:49.000 --> 07:50.000 Serial numbers. 07:50.000 --> 07:53.000 You know, people could just give us the numbers on their radios. 07:53.000 --> 07:55.000 Other stolen property we'd have something definite to look for. 07:55.000 --> 07:57.000 I know it's a lot to ask, but if they could just do that. 07:57.000 --> 08:00.000 Inspector, what do you estimate the fire ought to be here? 08:00.000 --> 08:01.000 A couple thousand dollars. 08:01.000 --> 08:02.000 Uh-huh. 08:02.000 --> 08:06.000 I hope your crime lab, the latent trends, can come up with a lead to give you a foe of something concrete to work with. 08:06.000 --> 08:07.000 We'll be there, Tom. 08:07.000 --> 08:08.000 What do you think, Joe? 08:08.000 --> 08:09.000 Same person? 08:09.000 --> 08:12.000 Well, it might be too early to say, 08:12.000 --> 08:14.000 but the fires are in the same neighborhood. 08:14.000 --> 08:15.000 Similar MO. 08:15.000 --> 08:17.000 Chances are there that it's the same one, yeah. 08:17.000 --> 08:18.000 Uh-huh. 08:18.000 --> 08:19.000 Keeps up. 08:19.000 --> 08:20.000 Somebody's likely to get hurt. 08:20.000 --> 08:22.000 We haven't got too much to go on. 08:22.000 --> 08:23.000 Well, we've got a place to start. 08:23.000 --> 08:24.000 Huh? 08:24.000 --> 08:25.000 We know he's got some matches. 08:29.000 --> 08:32.000 Frank and I questioned the neighbors, but we failed to get any useful information. 08:32.000 --> 08:34.000 latent prints were unable to come up with anything. 08:34.000 --> 08:39.000 The crime lab reported the window had been forced by a one-half inch pry bar. 08:39.000 --> 08:44.000 Within the next three weeks, despite our efforts, six more fires and burglaries occurred. 08:44.000 --> 08:47.000 In each case, the same MO was used. 08:47.000 --> 08:53.000 We had sent teletypes to CII and all points requesting information on any person who had used the same MO. 08:53.000 --> 08:55.000 The staff office made a run. 08:55.000 --> 08:57.000 No one arsonist was checked. 08:57.000 --> 09:03.000 Pawn shops and second-hand stores were notified, but we still had no definite lead as to the identity of the arsonist's burglar. 09:03.000 --> 09:07.000 We started a PIN map to see if a directional trend would develop. 09:07.000 --> 09:09.000 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 2nd. 09:09.000 --> 09:11.000 We were checking the map with Sergeant Rex Olson. 09:11.000 --> 09:13.000 Anything new, Joe? 09:13.000 --> 09:17.000 Well, we've got a few burglaries further west, up in here, but no fire. 09:17.000 --> 09:18.000 How about the MO? 09:18.000 --> 09:21.000 Same. Bedroom window entry, same type articles stolen. 09:21.000 --> 09:23.000 You know, this operator's really a wig. 09:23.000 --> 09:25.000 Take a look at this list of items that have been taken. 09:27.000 --> 09:32.000 Dog food, baby clothes, golf balls, tennis balls, camping equipment, and a phonograph. 09:32.000 --> 09:34.000 That's quite an assortment. 09:34.000 --> 09:37.000 Tennis balls were initialed, I think, by the owner. He said he could identify them. 09:37.000 --> 09:40.000 Details have been set in playground form. 09:40.000 --> 09:42.000 I guess you pretty well covered every angle then. 09:42.000 --> 09:43.000 Yeah, that's right. 09:43.000 --> 09:48.000 The men from Metro and the fire department have been on stakeouts in areas where fires have occurred. 09:48.000 --> 09:51.000 They've run down a lot of leads, but we haven't come up with anything to date. 09:51.000 --> 09:52.000 How about Prince? 09:52.000 --> 09:54.000 Well, how many will give us any positives? 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 I guess they're switching MOs. I'm going to be thankful for them. 09:56.000 --> 09:59.000 The guy's still out breathing the same air as we do. 09:59.000 --> 10:03.000 Yeah. I know it bothers you, but you're doing your best. You can't ask for more. 10:03.000 --> 10:06.000 If you talk to some of these families that have been burned out, you'll still wish you could. 10:06.000 --> 10:07.000 Yeah, I know how you feel. 10:07.000 --> 10:11.000 The guy isn't satisfied setting one fire in a house. He set as many as six in one place. 10:11.000 --> 10:13.000 Look above red pins. 10:13.000 --> 10:15.000 I'll do it. 10:17.000 --> 10:18.000 Burglary, Olson? 10:18.000 --> 10:19.000 Uh-huh. 10:19.000 --> 10:21.000 What's that address? 10:21.000 --> 10:23.000 1904? 10:23.000 --> 10:25.000 Wet 53. 10:25.000 --> 10:26.000 All right. 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 Yeah, they're with me now. Yeah. 10:29.000 --> 10:31.000 Burglary, here's the address. 10:31.000 --> 10:32.000 All right. Anything else? 10:32.000 --> 10:34.000 Yeah, another red pin. 10:39.000 --> 10:41.000 We drove out to the address on 50th Street. 10:41.000 --> 10:46.000 Like the other homes hit by the arsonist burglar, it was a small one-story house. 10:46.000 --> 10:49.000 Inspector Strader showed us where five fires had been started. 10:49.000 --> 10:52.000 The main damage was in the rear of the building. 10:52.000 --> 10:54.000 Entry had been made through a bedroom window. 10:54.000 --> 10:56.000 We called the crime lab and laid in print. 10:56.000 --> 11:00.000 The owner, a Mr. Clinton base, arrived and checked for missing property. 11:00.000 --> 11:02.000 He said it was 1027 here. 11:02.000 --> 11:03.000 We called to the living room. 11:03.000 --> 11:06.000 Well, right off hand, I'd say nothing was missing in here. 11:06.000 --> 11:09.000 Well, if possible, he just didn't take a little initial. 11:09.000 --> 11:10.000 Why'd he say that, Sergeant? 11:10.000 --> 11:12.000 Well, no fire was started before. 11:12.000 --> 11:16.000 Now, we found in other homes the burglar usually starts a fire in a room where he takes something. 11:16.000 --> 11:17.000 That's neat. 11:17.000 --> 11:18.000 Elis the base. 11:18.000 --> 11:19.000 Yeah. 11:19.000 --> 11:21.000 First unit missing, you said it was initial. 11:21.000 --> 11:23.000 That's right. I gave it to my wife for her birthday. 11:23.000 --> 11:25.000 It was monogrammed LCB in gold letters. 11:25.000 --> 11:26.000 Wasn't really expensive. 11:26.000 --> 11:28.000 LCB. 11:28.000 --> 11:30.000 And the money that was taken was of too much value. 11:30.000 --> 11:33.000 Why should a person go to the trouble of breaking a house to steal comic books? 11:33.000 --> 11:34.000 It didn't make sense. 11:34.000 --> 11:36.000 And then you said your daughter's name was written on the books. 11:36.000 --> 11:39.000 Yeah. My wife always writes her name, Carol, on them. 11:39.000 --> 11:41.000 You know how kids trade them back and forth. 11:41.000 --> 11:44.000 My daughter takes after her mother and never wants to throw anything away. 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 I've had over a hundred comic books. 11:46.000 --> 11:48.000 I think there's a lot of junk at which he had taken. 11:48.000 --> 11:51.000 And then just left the house the way it was without setting the fires. 11:51.000 --> 11:52.000 Oh, I see. I understand. 11:52.000 --> 11:54.000 Now about the coins that were taken. 11:54.000 --> 11:56.000 This is the first time that any money has been stolen. 11:56.000 --> 11:58.000 What did he take? About two dollars worth of coins. 11:58.000 --> 12:00.000 Not much to help you there, is there? 12:00.000 --> 12:01.000 Yes, sir, there might be. 12:01.000 --> 12:03.000 They're American coins that can be spent. 12:03.000 --> 12:06.000 Now the fact that they're old may give us a lead if somebody tried to spend them. 12:06.000 --> 12:07.000 Hmm, hmm. 12:07.000 --> 12:08.000 Kind of a long shot, isn't it? 12:08.000 --> 12:09.000 Yes, sir, maybe. 12:09.000 --> 12:11.000 But this person hasn't given us much choice. 12:11.000 --> 12:13.000 Now do you hope he could give us the dates on the coins? 12:13.000 --> 12:15.000 Well, I can't, but my wife may be able to. 12:15.000 --> 12:16.000 They belong to her. 12:16.000 --> 12:18.000 Like I told you, she never gives her anything. 12:18.000 --> 12:19.000 Mm-hmm. 12:19.000 --> 12:21.000 She got them from an aunt a couple, three weeks ago. 12:21.000 --> 12:24.000 I told her that since they were old, they might be worth more than just the regular value. 12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 Yes, sir. 12:25.000 --> 12:28.000 She took them to some shop, you know, where they handle old money. 12:28.000 --> 12:32.000 Man, I told her they weren't in demand, only worth a nickel, dime, whatever it was. 12:32.000 --> 12:35.000 I knew she'd change her cigarettes one day, but she wouldn't give them to me. 12:35.000 --> 12:36.000 Anything else hangs on her. 12:36.000 --> 12:38.000 Well, you see the junk around here. 12:38.000 --> 12:40.000 What did you get those dates for? 12:40.000 --> 12:44.000 Well, I tried, but like I said, if the person that did this had just forgot about the fire part 12:44.000 --> 12:47.000 and carted off some of the other junk, he'd have been doing me a big favor. 12:47.000 --> 12:48.000 Oh, sir, but they don't have that in mind. 12:48.000 --> 12:49.000 What do you mean? 12:49.000 --> 12:50.000 To help anybody. 12:50.000 --> 12:55.000 We got the description and the dates of the coins from Mrs. Bates. 12:55.000 --> 12:57.000 All officers were given the information. 12:57.000 --> 13:02.000 From our pin map, we figured our suspect might live near Cimarron Street in Vernon Avenue. 13:02.000 --> 13:05.000 We spent several days contacting all the businesses in that vicinity 13:05.000 --> 13:08.000 and gave each owner a complete description of the coins. 13:08.000 --> 13:12.000 We asked them to get the license number or address of any person that might pass them 13:12.000 --> 13:14.000 and to call us right away. 13:14.000 --> 13:18.000 In the meantime, Lacey French sent word from the window ledge at the home of the last burglary in fire 13:18.000 --> 13:21.000 that they had lifted several clean prints. 13:21.000 --> 13:22.000 Five days went by. 13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 Monday, December 7th. 13:24.000 --> 13:26.000 A store owner called us regarding the coins. 13:26.000 --> 13:29.000 Frank and I drove out to the corner of Cimarron Street in 43rd Place, 13:29.000 --> 13:32.000 a small neighborhood variety store. 13:32.000 --> 13:34.000 Good morning. Can I help you? 13:34.000 --> 13:35.000 Please, doctor. 13:35.000 --> 13:36.000 Are you out? 13:36.000 --> 13:38.000 Yes, ma'am. We went to see you the other day. 13:38.000 --> 13:41.000 Oh, well, just a moment till I get my glasses on. 13:41.000 --> 13:44.000 I'm trying on the new glasses on just before you put them on. 13:44.000 --> 13:46.000 I don't see much without them anymore. 13:46.000 --> 13:49.000 Oh, here and I remember you. 13:49.000 --> 13:51.000 You came in about the hour of morning. 13:51.000 --> 13:53.000 Yes, ma'am. That's right. We got you called. 13:53.000 --> 13:55.000 Well, it's a good thing I had my glasses on about an hour ago. 13:55.000 --> 13:56.000 What do you mean, ma'am? 13:56.000 --> 13:59.000 When I got those coins. Otherwise, maybe I wouldn't have noticed. 13:59.000 --> 14:01.000 Then you took in some money and opened the description we gave you, didn't you? 14:01.000 --> 14:05.000 A face customer this morning, I guess maybe that's why I took the picture and noticed. 14:05.000 --> 14:07.000 I'll call the number on the card you gave me right away. 14:07.000 --> 14:09.000 That was very cooperative of you, ma'am. 14:09.000 --> 14:11.000 I only do my duty as I see it. 14:11.000 --> 14:13.000 You managed to uphold and arm as a citizen, I feel. 14:13.000 --> 14:14.000 It's my job to help you. 14:14.000 --> 14:16.000 Anyway, I can. 14:16.000 --> 14:18.000 Yes, ma'am.

I'll get them for you. 14:19.000 --> 14:20.000 Thank you. 14:20.000 --> 14:25.000 When I saw the thing without all his money, like you told me about, I just hid them in the register. 14:25.000 --> 14:29.000 Oh, no. I popped them into this jelly bag. I keep punies in it, too. 14:29.000 --> 14:32.000 Maybe I'd better dump them out on the floor. 14:32.000 --> 14:33.000 Oh, that's fine. 14:33.000 --> 14:34.000 I wouldn't want you to slip your fingers. 14:34.000 --> 14:36.000 It's easier to get blood poisoning. 14:36.000 --> 14:39.000 You got that list, thanks.

More footwork. 16:28.000 --> 16:31.000 I'm telling you, Joe, I haven't put on so many miles since I worked traffic. 16:31.000 --> 16:32.000 You don't have to tell me. 16:32.000 --> 16:33.000 What do you mean? 16:33.000 --> 16:35.000 All these miles you're talking about. 16:35.000 --> 16:37.000 Oh, yeah. I was with you, remember? 16:37.000 --> 16:38.000 Yeah. 16:38.000 --> 16:41.000 I know, Joe, but after all, I'm carrying a few more pounds than you are. 16:41.000 --> 16:43.000 That is correct. It makes a big difference. 16:43.000 --> 16:45.000 You know how it is when you go deer hunting? 16:45.000 --> 16:47.000 Don't you think? I don't. I never go. 16:47.000 --> 16:49.000 Well, when you're carrying a rifle... 16:49.000 --> 16:50.000 Never carry one. 16:50.000 --> 16:55.000 Well, when you go deer hunting and you do carry a rifle, you start out in the morning, the rifle doesn't weigh much at all. 16:55.000 --> 16:56.000 It doesn't. 16:56.000 --> 17:00.000 Well, at least it doesn't feel so heavy, but along the end of the day, to handle a few pounds feels like 20. 17:00.000 --> 17:01.000 Mm-hmm. 17:01.000 --> 17:03.000 That's the way it is with the extra pounds I carry around. 17:03.000 --> 17:04.000 Mm-hmm. 17:04.000 --> 17:05.000 Mm-hmm. 17:07.000 --> 17:08.000 Burglary Friday. 17:08.000 --> 17:09.000 Yeah. 17:09.000 --> 17:10.000 Mm-hmm. 17:10.000 --> 17:11.000 I see. 17:13.000 --> 17:14.000 On to them. 17:14.000 --> 17:15.000 Mm. 17:15.000 --> 17:16.000 Good. 17:16.000 --> 17:17.000 Right.
