The Airport Murder Case (AFRS)

It's time now for Mr. Keene, traitor of lost person, all for Mr. Keene, and the airport murder case. Our scene opens in a city airport where passengers are preparing to leave on a flight that's scheduled across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe.

Awakened in the crowd in a phone booth, a man tries desperately to put through a call. A call that means a difference to him between life and death. Hello operator, connect with police headquarters at once.

Yes, I want police headquarters. This is an emergency. Hop in a quick nap. Oh, no, no. Don't kill me. Don't. Oh. Mr. King, I'm Mrs. Emily Hasker. I phoned you before to make an appointment here in your office.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Hasker. Please sit down. This is my partner, Mike Penson. Here's to meet you, ma'am. How do you do? I see you've managed to compose yourself since I spoke to you. I'm sorry. I broke down like that on the phone with the king.

But I couldn't help myself. My husband, the only man I've ever loved, was murdered last night. Murden? You didn't tell me that over the telephone? He was stabbed to death in a phone booth at the city airport.

Well, sure, I read about that murder in the papers the smaller, Mr. Cancer. I saw it too, mate. Mr. Haskell was stabbed to death within ten yards of several passengers at the airport. Because he was in a phone booth, the murder wasn't noticed until the killer had a chance to get away.

Walter, my husband, was on his way to Europe, Mr. King. The police found out he tried to contact him just before his murder, but it was too late. Were the police able to establish a motive for his murder, Mrs. Hershull?
