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. The Senate transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

If your plans include sending your youngster to college or providing for a pleasant, comfortable life after 60, Owning your own home free and clear years ahead of time, we have a plan. By we, I mean the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and its 8,000 representatives from coast to coast.

It will pay you to get acquainted with your local Equitable representative. He's friendly, helpful, and he knows the answers. In about 13 minutes, I'd like to tell you more about him and how he may help you to enjoy the many advantages of membership in the Equitable Society.

Tonight, the Subtribal FBI file! Homicide, it's title, The Death Crew! It is the proud record of your FBI that 97% of those the Bureau apprehends and takes to court, are later found guilty and sentenced.

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.

Those files are records of jobs well done, records of which the Bureau is justifiably proud. For that reason it is understandable that your FBI does not like to reopen a file that has been marked closed.

It does not like to have to do its job all over again. That does not happen very often, but as you will see in tonight's case, it does happen. Tonight's FBI file opens on the mouth of a river located in one of our eastern seaboard states.
