Dragnet - "Big Missing" (Old Time Radio, 1949)

from Dragnet | Old Time Radio Hosted by Old Time Retro Radio

Dragnet presents “Big Missing,” episode 8 of the classic NBC radio series, originally broadcast July 28, 1949. This early sustaining broadcast stars Jack Webb as Los Angeles police Sergeant Joe Friday, with Barton Yarborough as his partner, Sergeant Ben Romero. As Christmas approaches, Friday and Romero investigate when a worried mother in Fountain Green, Utah, reports that her daughter, Juanita Lasky, has stopped writing. With few leads and a family desperate for answers, the detectives pursue a missing-persons case across Los Angeles. Dragnet presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
