Out of Control: A Blind Detective and the Ice Pick Method

Originally Aired: March 28, 1946 In Suspense #186, “Out of Control,” Brian Donlevy stars as Captain Duncan McLean, a blind detective whose sharpened senses unravel one of the most ingenious murder methods ever devised. When blackmailer Walter Crane is found dead in a car crash near a mountain lodge, suspicion falls on Marsha Fillmore and her jealous husband Dennis. But McLean uncovers a chilling method: drug the victim, wedge a car’s wheels with blocks of ice, and let time and gravity finish the job—leaving no trace as the evidence melts away. With his police dog Dreist at his side, McLean faces off against a beautiful and deadly killer in a battle of wits and survival.
