There’s a missing rope of jewels, and the Fat man is on the case. Kitty is thought to have them, and she could be in danger when her former boyfriend, Jack Kelley, is being released from prison. The reference to a peacock is mentioned, but what does it mean?

After discovering a body, the Fat man goes to question Kitty. She’s not so innocent, but she doesn’t know where the jewels are. Is the hard talking woman behind the murder? Maybe there’ll be something to find at the old gangster hideout at a peacock farm?

Enough clues have been gathered for the Fat man to form some ideas, and with his police detective friend, they make a beeline to locate those jewels. Have you figured it out yet? There could be a rising body count if this mystery isn’t solved quicly. Don’t worry, the truth comes out, and justice is served up the hard way.

Note: First of all, when I recorded this, there were no clicks in the audio. During one of my many software crashes as I put this together, it has inserted a few clicks and pops to the beginning part of the podcast. It clears up after the first 5 minutes or so.

In my introduction to the episode I mention a few other great OTR sites. Update… links have changed. Try a search on the web to see if they’re still around, or moved to a new location. Sorry for not having links for you.
