The Lansing Fraud Matter Ep 2

Originally Aired: December 13, 1955Johnny Dollar #282, "The Lansing Fraud Matter Ep 2," Johnny Dollar continues his investigation into the suspicious death of James Lansing, a man who died of malnutrition just two years after passing an insurance physical examination with flying colors. Dollar pressures Dr. Mayhood to view Lansing's body at the morgue, hoping the physician can confirm whether this corpse is the same man he examined. The increasingly belligerent doctor claims he cannot recognize Lansing after two years, and when Dollar brings Mayhood's entire office staff to the morgue, none of them can identify the body either. The investigation takes a strange turn when the possibility emerges that someone else entirely might have taken Lansing's physical examination.Meanwhile, Dollar's colleague Jim Carter prepares to notify the State Insurance Commission about the potential fraud while investigating Lansing's beneficiary. Dollar visits Lansing's apartment building, where manager Anita Regan immediately recognizes the body at the coroner's office. Just as she begins to explain something peculiar about having seen Lansing lying down frequently, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, suggesting she may hold crucial information about the case.
