This is case closed.

One hour of old-time radio crime every Wednesday at RelicRadio.com.

Our first story this week comes from Whitehall, 1212.

We'll hear the case of the black Gladstone bag from March 23, 1952.

After that, it's Broadway as my beat in the Harold Clark murder case.

That story aired October 27, 1950.

Wright Hall, 1-2-1-2.

This is Scotland Yard.

The Scotland Yard. For the first time in history, Scotland Yard opens its official files to bring you the authentic

true stories of some of its most baffling cases.

These are the true stories, the plain, unvarnished facts, just as they occurred,

reenacted for you by an all-British cast.

Only the names of the participants have, for obvious reasons, been changed.

The stories are presented with a full cooperation of Scotland Yard.

Research on Whitehall 112 comes from Percy Hoskins,

chief crime reporter of the London Daily Express.

The stories for radio are written and directed by Willis Cooper.

Chief Superintendent John Davidson will brief you on this case,

number 381, 397.
