Body Found On Tamiami Trail William H Adams aka-Hot Lead Catches

The big story. Careful how we go under this bridge, Pete. Yeah. The 10-a-ampi trail may be a beautiful highway, but you never know what you might run into. Might be alligators around. Usually I'm the Everglades Dan.

Gators, snakes, everything else. 10-a-ampi is one state highway. I wish somebody else had the job of inspecting. Hmm. We'll ask Rich Trans for it. Yeah, you and me both. Well, we got it to do.

Let's do it. Watch the smoke. Yeah. Nothing but swamps, the miles, frogs, snakes, cheaters, fish. See? Yeah? Something under the bridge. Huh? Hey, it looks like a gator. I'll put up your gun. Managed gator. It's a man.

Shot through the head. The big story. The story you're about to hear actually happened. It happened in Florida. It's authentic. It's offered as a tribute to the men and women of the Great American newspapers.

From the pages of the Miami Herald, the story of a reporter who used a hot lead to find a cold-blooded killer. Miami, Florida, the story of it actually happened. William Adams' story as he lived it.

It's a late afternoon in March, and you, Bill Adams, is reported for the Miami Herald. You're in the study room at your desk, taking it easy for the moment. You feel fine. It's a beautiful day.

Murder? Who's Shel? and body we found under a state highway bridge by a couple of highway inspectors. They reported it in from a nearby gas station. Thanks for the tip, chef. What's the street number?
