Dragnet – Big_Friend. ep95, 510405

Homicide Detail. A man claims his wife is murdered, but he doesn’t know who did it.

On the scene, Joe Friday, and Ben Romero, find a distraught husband. He and a friend were at a bar together. Concerned that Hazel would be upset , Earl drove him home. Details about flat tires, and too much to drink come out. Earl only lives two doors down the block, but in taking the tires to him to be aired up, Leonard returned home to find Hazel had been killed.

In voiceover, Joe gives details in the investigation, are they being lied to, are there other family members who could shed light on the matter? Earl offers his side of the story, and his story seems inline with Leonard’s. Clues come in from the crime scene that could help identify the killer.

As the interviews continue, versions of the story change enough to have Joe and Ben concerned. More evidence is turned up, bloody hand prints, and it’s enough for a solid link to the killer. Who will it be a match for? Earl and Leonard are brought back in to see if they might change their story to the truth. The only one in the room who is surprised by the findings is Leonard.
