The Welcome to the great detectives of old-time radio from Boise, Idaho.

This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, we're going to bring you this

week's episode of Dragnet. But I do want to encourage you if you're enjoying the podcast,

please follow us using your favorite podcast software. And today's episode is brought to you

in part by the financial support of our listeners.

You can support the show on a one-time basis at support.gratedetactives.net.

And I want to thank Christopher for supporting the podcast that way.

You can also send a super thanks on YouTube by clicking the dollar sign when watching the video and I want to

thank CK for sending along a donation that way. Thank you so much for the super thanks. In addition, you can

become one of our ongoing Patreon supporters for as little as $2 per month at patreon.com. Greatdetectives.net.

And I want to welcome Diane and Jennifer as new Patreon supporters at the detective sergeant level of

$7.14 or more per month. And Sam at the Shamis level of $4 or more per month, and Steve at the rookie level of $2 or more per month.

Again, thank you so much for your support.

It is truly appreciated.

Now, I do want to say that there is actually a parental advisory that Jack Webb recorded before today's episode.

And I'd say that is something you may want to keep in mind if you've got particularly

young listeners who are co-listening with you.

But now from February 15th, 1951, here is the big crime.

Ladies and gentlemen, this program is for you, not your children.

The story you were about to hear is true.

Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

You're a detective sergeant.
