I wouldn't count on it happening that fast, though. 353 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000 Well, how easy is it going to be to spot? 354 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Not too hard. Stuff looks almost like a white topping powder. 355 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Will it wash off easy? 356 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 No. Should last around three to four days. 357 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Mm-hmm. 358 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000 Depends again on how easily he sweats, how often he washes his hands, and how hard he tries to get it off. 359 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Yeah. Is there any chance he'll spot it? 360 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Can't miss it once it starts to show. 361 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Well, I don't know if there's something wrong. He might try to do something to Grace. 362 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Well, we might as well face it, Mr. Marsh, and if she hasn't been returned in three or four hours, it's probably because he doesn't mean to give her back. 363 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000 I suppose so. 364 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000 As soon as you get the instructions on wrapping the money, let me know right away. We'll get it ready. 365 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000 What are you going to do? 366 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 We'll mark the paper the money's supposed to be wrapped in. 367 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Why? 368 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000 So we can identify it. If he wants the package out of the newspaper, we got some on hand. 369 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000 We've got some new brown wrapping paper, too. I think we're pretty well set on that score. 370 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000 I don't understand why you're doing all this. 371 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Well, if the suspect gets away from the meeting place, we've got to have a way to pick him up. 372 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Well, how's the special package going to help? 373 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000 We'll be able to prove it's what the money was wrapped in. Make it easier to be sure we got the right man. 374 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000 I'm sure he was as confident as you seem to be. 375 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000 How do you mean? 376 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000 That we're going to catch the man. 377 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000 Well, once he picks up the money, we've got everything on our side. 378 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 You're going to have the pickup area staked out? 379 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000 As much as we can. Depends a lot on where the contact is made. 380 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Mm-hmm. 381 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Right after the payoff, we'll secure the area. Nobody will get out. 382 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000 Ray, is there any way we can mark the car? 383 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Hard to say. We could use paint. 384 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000 A lot of things we don't know about the setup. It'll be easier to figure them after we've got all the information. 385 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 If somebody can get close enough to the car, we can drop a capsule of paint on top of it. 386 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Put a copter in the area, and you shouldn't have any trouble picking it up. 387 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000 Dr. Friday? 388 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Yeah. 389 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Phone for you, sir. I'll call for you. 390 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000 Thank you. 391 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Take it over there, Joe. 392 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Okay. Which line? 393 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Three. 394 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Thank you. 395 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Friday Speed. 396 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Oh, yeah. 397 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Uh-huh. 398 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000 What? 399 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 We'll be right over. 400 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Now it's beginning to go. 401 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000 What do you mean? 402 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000 The kidnapper just called. 403 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Yeah? 404 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000 He's ready for a meet. 405 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:20,000 The second contact by the kidnapper had been made by telephone. 406 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000 He talked to Mrs. Marshand and instructed her to tell her husband to have the money ready by 6 p.m. that evening. 407 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000 They went on to say that another call would be made giving instructions for payment of the ransom. 408 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:35,000 Mr. Marshand, Frank, and I talked with her about the call, and then we had a meeting with Captain Warman and Chief Detective Stad Brown. 409 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000 It was decided to go ahead as the kidnapper had ordered. 410 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000 At 9.02 a.m., we got $50,000 from the bank. 411 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000 We went back to the city hall and talked to Captain James Fisk. 412 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000 He assigned six girls from the record section to aid us. 413 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000 We divided them into three teams of two each, one calling the numbers on the bills, the other typing a list. 414 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 At 3.45 p.m., the job was finished. 415 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000 The money was taken to the crime lab and dusted with silver nitrate powder. 416 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Because we didn't have the final instructions on the delivery of the ransom, 417 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Ray Pinker gave us a supply of plain newspapers and brown wrapping paper. 418 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Both types were marked so they could later be identified in court. 419 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000 They also gave us pellets of dark and light paint in the event we had an opportunity to mark the kidnapper's car. 420 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000 4.30 p.m., we got in touch with Dave Robart at the sound lab and made arrangements for three-way radio equipment. 421 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Chief of Detective Stad Brown contacted Army authorities and with their cooperation, we had a helicopter standing by in the event it was needed. 422 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000 Teams of men from Metro Division and Homicide Detail were planted in the area around the Marshand home. 423 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,000 And at 5.15 p.m., Frank and I, along with Marshand, drove out to his house to wait for the third contact from the kidnapper. 424 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Red one to red six. Red one to red six. Come in, please. 425 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Red six to red one. Do you read me? 426 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Yeah, Jack, you're coming in fine. Who's riding with you? Over. 427 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Holden, you got any word yet? Over. 428 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000 No, nothing. We'll talk to you later. Red one out. 429 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Well, that's it, Joe. They're all in position. 430 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Yeah, now we got the tough part. Yeah, wait here. 431 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Say, all these cars, isn't there a chance a kidnapper might see them? 432 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000 No, sir, they're scattered all over the area. Matter of fact, none of them can even see the house. 433 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Hope it works out. 434 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Well, everything's going with us so far. Keeps up and we shouldn't have any trouble at all. 435 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Yeah. 436 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Is your wife all right, Mr. Marshand? 437 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Yeah, I guess so. She's upstairs. The doctor gave her something to make her sleep. 438 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 I see. Didn't want it, but he figured it was best. 439 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Yes, sir. 440 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Wasn't anything she could do to help. This whole thing's been pretty hard on her. 441 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Maybe when it's over, we'll take both kids and go out of town for vacation. The rest will do her good. 442 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Yes, sir. It's been pretty rough on her. 443 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 I'll get it. Just a minute, Mr. Marshand. Give us a chance to get that other phone. 444 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 Well, you can use the one in the breakfast room through that door. 445 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000 All right. Now, don't pick up a receiver until you hear me say now. You got it? 446 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 All right. Any way you say. 447 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Can't I answer it now? He might not wait. Just a second. 448 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Now. 449 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Hello?

Uh-huh. 453 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Look, Sam, I'm expecting an important call. Can I talk to you tomorrow? I'm sorry about it. 454 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Yeah, sure. 455 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 No, no. It's nothing else. 456 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Yeah. All right, Sam. I'll talk to you tomorrow. 457 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Okay. Bye. 458 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Sam Nicholson. Wonder if I could play golf with him in the morning. 459 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Yes, sir. 460 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Thought at first it might be the kidnapper. 461 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Yeah. 462 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Wasn't. 463 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Thought sure it was him. 464 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Well, I wish something would happen. 465 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000 Just wait and it'll drive me crazy. 466 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000 You know, if we just knew she was all right, that's all. If we just knew. 467 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Yeah, sir. 468 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000 All right. Give me just another phone. Wait, let's see now. 469 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000 I know it's him this time. 470 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000 Now. Hello? 471 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000 Yeah, that's right. 472 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000 No, no. I was in the back of the house. 473 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000 What? 474 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000 No, the line isn't tapped. 475 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000 No, no, it isn't. Give me my word. 476 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000 Yeah. What about Grace? Is she all right? 477 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Yeah, I got it. 478 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 No, it's here in the house now. 479 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000 That's right. Fifty thousand dollars. 480 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Yeah. Wait a minute. I better get a pencil. 481 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000 All right. Go ahead. 482 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Yeah. 483 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000 No, I know where it is. 484 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Yeah. 485 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000 All right. I'll try and find something. 486 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 No, I'll find something. 487 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Yeah. All right. I'll leave as soon as I can. 488 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000 No, I won't bring anybody. I swear. 489 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Yeah. Will you have Grace there? 490 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000 Hello. Hello. 491 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000 You heard it. Yeah. 492 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 We better get started. You got the map? 493 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000 I'll get it. 494 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000 He said Grace was all right. Did you hear him say that? 495 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Yes, sir. I did. 496 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000 He said she was okay. Well, I hope he was telling the truth. 497 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000 Yes, sir. So do we. 498 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000 You know, it's been a long time, Sergeant, but I guess you never forget how. 499 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000 What's that? 500 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000 To pray. 501 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000 The man on the phone had instructed Mr. Marchand to attach a piece of white material to the front of his car and to drive north on Highway 101. 502 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000 He said that near Zuma Beach he would indicate his presence by flashing the headlights of his own vehicle. 503 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Marchand was to pull over to the side of the road and walk halfway to the kidnapper's car. 504 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000 As we were waiting for the car to leave, the suspect would approach Marchand and take the money. 505 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000 At that time, he'd give us information on the girl's return. 506 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000 610 PM. All the cars in the operation were told of the latest developments. 507 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,000 We decided that I would hide in the backseat of Marchand's car with a walkie talkie and keep contact with the other officers. 508 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Frank and Captain Powers would be directly behind us in Unit 1K80. 509 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000 As soon as we made contact with the kidnapper, they would try to take the suspect into custody. 510 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000 The money was wrapped in the brown wrapping paper and at 614 PM, Marchand and I went out to his garage and got him the car. 511 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000 He drove out Sunset Boulevard at the Pacific Coast Highway and turned right. 512 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000 We drove for about 40 minutes. There was no sign of the kidnapper. 513 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Red 2 to Red 1. Red 2 to Red 1. Red 1 to Red 1. 514 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Red 1 to Red 2, over. 515 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000 How's it going, Joe?
