Broadway's My Beat: The Irene Hall Murder Case (EP5038)

Today's Mystery: Detective Danny Clover investigates the strangling of a Broadway entertainer whose body is discovered by a frightened out-of-town businessman. His insistence that he heard the woman scream long after she apparently died presents Clover with a puzzling contradiction—and the case soon takes an even darker turn.Original Radio Broadcast Date: May 17, 1952Originated in HollywoodCast:Larry Thor as Detective Danny CloverCharles Calvert as Sgt.
