Box 13 - "A Perfect Crime" (Old Time Radio, 2012)

Box 13 presents “A Perfect Crime,” episode 49. The supplied release metadata lists 2012, while surviving broadcast catalogs date the episode to 1948 or, in several later listings, July 24, 1949. Mystery writer Dan Holiday, played by Alan Ladd, receives an unsettling letter from Dr. John H. Dobbs, a respected professor of criminology and abnormal psychology. Invited to witness what Dobbs calls a planned “perfect” murder, Holiday must decide whether the professor’s challenge is deadly serious or the fixation of a troubled academic. Box 13 presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
