Transcript

The Signal Oil Program, the Whistler, at Whistler, is your signal for the Signal Oil Program, the Whistler, and the Whistler. And I know many things before I walk by night.

I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Yes, friends, it's time for the Whistler, rated by independent research the most popular West Coast radio program.

And remember that every traffic signal remind you, with new signal gasoline you do go farther than ever. Look for the familiar big yellow and black circle sign that identifies those popular signal service stations in seven western states from Canada to Mexico.

And now the Whistler strange story. Boomerang. It's been three months now since the career of the doorbell killer ended in a blaze of newspaper headlines announcing the execution. The case was a strange one. Some thought his motive was robbery.

Some thought otherwise, but no one ever knew for sure. But the most important feature of the case wasn't mentioned in the headline. It doesn't even appear on the police records or in the accounts of the trial.

It will never appear anywhere, because the only two people who know that aren't in a position to testify. It's the story of Amy Clark and the husband named Ralph, who grated on her nerves. At first he merely bordered, but after a while her boredom subtly changed into something more dangerous.

He found herself trying to find a way to leave Ralph without leaving the comfortable home the healthy bank account in the insurance policy. And oddly enough, the rise to prominence of an unfortunate individual labeled the doorbell killer by the tabloid had a direct effect on Amy and her problem.
