The Big Rose
You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a homicide detail. A 38-year-old woman disappears. She leaves her sister and her four children behind. There's evidence of foul play. Your job, find her.
Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes, in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action.
It was Monday, June 3rd. It was overcast in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of homicide detail. My partner's Ed Jacobs. The boss is Thad Brown, chief of detectives. My name's Friday. I was on the way back from communications and it was 8.15 a.m. when I got to room 42. Homicide. Joe, what's doing? Hi, Brian. You seen Ed? Went down the hall a minute. Said he'd be right by. Oh, thank you. I don't see anything in the book. Nothing new, huh? Not much. Pretty slow. How's your mother, Joe? I heard she wasn't feeling too well. No, she's not, as a matter of fact. The doctor says it's anemia. It's going to take a little time to get over it, I guess. Oh, sorry to hear it. I've got to do some checking down at the auto desk.
If I get any calls, I'm going to switch it down there, will you? Yeah, I sure will, Brian. Thanks. You betcha. Oh, excuse me, Ed. Pardon me, Tom. Hi, Ed. What did they give you? Missing report, woman. How about the mail? No, it's nothing. Is that the missing report there? Yeah, it's all here. Some woman out on 64th Street, name's Rose Baker. She's been gone about a week. Last seen Tuesday, May 27th, 10 p.m. Who's this that made the report? Carl Shelton? Who's he? It's her boyfriend. Mrs. Baker's husband died about five years ago. He's been running around quite a bit since then. Had a lot of man trouble. He disappeared before then, huh? Yeah, half a dozen times. Never been gone this long, though. Holmes took this report from Shelton.
He gathered Ms. Baker's not too stable. She's known to drink quite a bit. Doesn't seem to care anything for her home or kids. Yeah, I see it here. She has four children. They're living with her aunt, Mrs. Baker's sister. It's kind of a funny arrangement, isn't it?
Yeah.
Who is involved in the investigation of Rose Baker's case?
Baker woman packed her bags and walked out of the house about a year ago. Her sister's been taking care of the kids ever since. Mother comes back for a visit once in a while. This address we've got on Mrs. Baker, it's the same address as her boyfriend, Carl Shelton. Yeah, that's right. They both have apartments in the same building. Is this a recent picture, Ms. Baker? Supposed to be, yeah. Nice-looking woman, huh? Yeah. Sister's listed here as the last person who saw her. Well, how's that? Baker woman still wasn't living at home, was she? According to the sister, Mrs. Baker came over to the house to see her the night she disappeared. Sometime around 8 o'clock, two of them had some business to talk over. Seems the sister had a check for $400 she got from selling some furniture.
