Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true.

The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

You're a detective sergeant.

You're assigned to Bunko Detail.

For the past year, a confidence man has been cheating women in your city.

You'll finally get a lead on him.

Your job? Get him.

It was Wednesday, February 12th. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the day, watch out of bunko detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Steve. My name's Friday. We were at the Armstrong Thomas Department Store cafeteria, and it was 3.14 p.m. when I got back to the table. Here, Joe. Let me give you a hand. Oh, thanks. Here you are, you are mr tarrs thank you i wonder if you tell us

what this is all about now man surely sorry you had to wait but i thought it might be better if we

talked up here yes ma'am would you pass the sugar please oh yes ma. Well, it's not a pretty thing. I don't know how I could have been so foolish. But I guess when you get to be my age and you haven't gotten anything almost any attention that makes you forget. Yes, ma'am. How'd you first meet this man, Ben? I saw him first at a musicale. I met him very briefly that night. He called me the next day, said that he wanted to see me again. Well, I told him that I didn't think it'd be proper, but he insisted. So that night we had dinner together. He seemed so nice. I still can't believe it. Yes, ma'am.

Such a wonderful time.

I didn't think anybody could be so happy.

We ate at a wonderful little place down at the beach.

Then we went for a long drive and listened to the music on the radio.

Just beautiful.

Where the ocean looked all moonlight, you know.

When'd you see him again, ma'am?

Not until he left.

He'd call a couple of times a day.

He got a little embarrassing.

The girl's story here got to kidding me about it, but I didn't care.
