Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representatives in your community.

Are you the owner of the house you live in? If so, and if that house has a mortgage on it, Then our sponsor, the Equitable Life Assurance Society, has some interesting and important information for you.

In just about 14 minutes, the Equitable Society will give you the facts about America's finest plan for home ownership. It's called the Equitable Assured Home Ownership Plan, a money-saving plan that has meant increased security for thousands of home owners.

Tonight's FBI file, the mysterious fugitive. It is the proud record of your FBI. That's 97% of those the Bureau apprehends and takes the court to a later found guilty and sentence. And that record indicates a thoroughness and a basic respect for detail in every investigation.

Because it often happens that the only testimony for the prosecution is given by special agents of your FBI. After conviction, the file, on that case, is marked closed. Are those files a record of jobs well done?

Records of which the Bureau is justifiably proud. So that reason it is understandable that your FBI does not like to reopen a file that's not closed. Does not like to do a job all over again.

That does not happen very often, but as you will see in tonight's case, it does happen. Tonight, the FBI file opens at the mouth of a river located in one of our eastern seaboard state.
