The Imperfect Alibi Matter - Ep 3

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Deller. Joe was called. Anything new on the Harvey Stone killing Joe. Not a thing, but maybe we've already got all we need. Meaning Helen Barrett. We're still holding him.

Joe, I don't think she did it. No. Oh, I know it all adds up to her, but... we'll just call it a hunch. Hunch is there fine, Johnny, but facts are better. You want to hear some facts?

I'll be right over. Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly? Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to the home office, Northeast and Demody Associates, Hartford, Connecticut.

Assignment, the imperfect alibi matter, location New York City. Expense account continue. Item A to $1.40, camp fair to police headquarters from my hotel to talk to Lieutenant Joris Delhi. Sit down, Johnny. Thanks. Facts, you said.

Max, number one. Harvey Stone was shot in the left side of the forehead at close range with the 38 caliber Smith and Westin. The gun was near the body. Any prints on it? No, it was clean. But Helen Barrett had gloves with him.

Helen says she left Harvey's apartment and went to her own to pack up. They were going to a loop. When she got back to her apartment, he was dead. So she told me, Johnny. I'd like to believe her, too. She seemed like a pretty nice kid.

But what? Not enough facts in her favor. Who saw her leave Stone's apartment? She can't find anyone who did. What time she leaves. She can't remember. Did anyone see her return? What time? That's a lot of questions not to be able to answer, Johnny. Yeah, yeah, I know. What was the time of death?
