Dragnet: The Big Grab

Dragnet. Ladies and gentlemen, the story or about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Your detective sergeant, your assigned to homicide detail. A six-year-old girl has been taken from the streets of your city. There's no lead to her whereabouts or the identity of the kidnapper. Your job, find them.

It was Monday May 1st, it was warm in Los Angeles. We were working today to watch out on Homicide Detailed. My partner's Frank Smith, the boss is Captain Warman. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from the business office and it was 728 PM when I got to room 42, Homicide Squad Room.

Well, the hair was a little thicker, you know, more of it. More like this? Yeah. Yeah, that's about it, short, real short. Now what about the eyes? Well, they were kind of close together. Hi, Joe.

Fine, we're Frank O. Chief Brown called, he went down there. How you doing? Hey, take a look at yourself. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Right on the old button, yeah. A couple more eyebrows. What? More eyebrows, couple more.

Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah. Say this color's pretty good. Right there on those guys at the beach. What's that? Guys at the beach, you know, they draw your picture while you wait two bits, something like that, they draw your picture.

This looks just like the guy that took the girl. Sure feel bad about that. I really do, sir. I was just sitting there, you know, folding up the papers from around, just sitting folding, all of a sudden I see this thing happen right now.

I see this thing happen right in front of me. You know, car just pulled up the grab the girl. It was more than one. You said they grabbed the girl. Oh, no, no. I just said that.
