What's your connection.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm an insurance investigator. We've been trying to find her
all away from Hartford. We have to pay off a
claim that's due her claim. Yeah, that's right. An old
man left her fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
He doesn't deserve it, not that one.

Tonight and every weekday night.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Bob Bailey in the transcribed Adventures of the Man with
the Action Packed Expenser, count America's Fabulous freelance insurance investigator.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator
Johnny Dollar, location Malibu Beach, California, to the Eastern Trust
Insurance Company Claims Division, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an
(01:13):
accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Broderick matter
more expensive item fifteen thirty eight dollars even more transportation.
My trip here to Malible Beach, where I didn't even
bother listening to another disgruntal hotel proprietor repeat a bad
check story I knew only too well. I went directly
to the Sheriff's station and Deputy King, Well.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's about the picture, mister dollar. Lorraine Bradley was at
the end four days and checked out this morning. Used
the name Bradley. Lorraine Bradley. She can't be too far
ahead of you now.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I hope not. There has been a long rough chase.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
While she was at the end, she took up with
one of our local residents, a man named Joe Tappan,
who lives over in the beach colony. We know this much.
He drove her into town this morning, which he checked
out of the inn.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Have you talked to this man Tappan yet? He hasn't
come back it. When did she leave the inn?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
About ten this morning?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Huh? After two? Now it gives him just about time.
Here's a house over in the colony. We've got a
man there. Colony down the road, apiece. They call it
that because a lot of movie stars built beech homs
there twenty five or thirty years ago, movie colony right
on the beach.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Aw this tappened? Is he an actor?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah? When he gets work, which isn't very often. Mainly
he keeps sun tanned. Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
This king?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh good, right away Tappened just drove up to his house.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I went with Deputy King to talk with Joe Tappan.
He turned out to be a healthy, muscular man in
his mid thirties. By the time we got there, he
was in trunks and sunglasses, sitting on a porch at
the front of his house. He was a little stunned
by the news we brought him. What the rain of phony?
But are you sure about that, sheriff?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's the man at the seaside in.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Oh no, no, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It is this Lorraine. Go ahead, look at it. Well,
that looks like Lorraine.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yes, but I can't be sure she's older.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, I mean the girl in this picture is pretty young.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's her all right.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Mister Dollar has been looking all over the country for Hartford,
New York City, up and down this coast.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Well, come on, let's go up to the house.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I thought I knew her pretty well. How long did
you know, mister Tappan? Not long, but I knew her,
I really did.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
When did you meet her the first night she checked
into the Seaside in four days?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Then? Yeah, I want something to drink? No? No, thanks, Well,
I think I'll have no. No, No, I don't want
to talk about her.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We have to talk about her, mister Tappan.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
But I'm sure there's some explanation about the check.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
She'd have to explain quite a few checks, right dollar.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
And that's about it, mister Tampa. I understand you drove
her into Los Angeles this morning.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
That's right. I took her to the Beverly Glenn Hotel.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Did she check in there?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
No, she just dumped her luggage.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
She told me she didn't know whether or not she'd
have to go to Chicago to I something about a
house she owned there that had to be rented her sword.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Did you leave her there at the Beverly Glen.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
No, she made a phone call and said that she
had to meet a lawyer. Did she say where a
bar in Hollywood at the Topper I think it was
on Kuga Boulevard. I drove her over there and left her.
When was this a couple of hours ago? I guess
about noon?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
How was she dressed.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Black, strapless, wore of her store?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Did she mention any names? Tell you anything about herself?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Yes, she told me that six months ago a little
boy was killed in an automobile action. He was only
two years old. She said that was a thing that
broke up her marriage to this Bradley. And she told
me that she needed to believe in something again some
and then she needed someone to believe in her.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, there wasn't any little boy or any husband, mister Tappan.
There have been a couple of men. I've talked to
a dentist in Hartford, a businessman in New York who
felt the same way as you do about her.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Well, even with what you told me, I believe what
she said. Why she cried a little when she was
telling me, I don't care how you look at me.
I don't think that anyone could invent a story that
tragic without some sort of basis.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
A good liar can see a story in a newspaper
like that one and adapted for his own needs.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
But I am an actress, sir, and I can tell
when other people are acting She wasn't she? She go on,
mister Tappan, I've got a suggestion for you. What's your
name Dollar, I've got a suggestion for you. Try believing
what people tell you sometime. It'll do something for that habit.
(05:51):
You have a bearing down with your eyes.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Okay, the next time I have two weeks off. What
see you, mister Tappan. I drove into Hollywood with Deputy King.
At the Beverly Glen Hotel, a worried clerk was still
wondering what to do with the fourteen pieces of luggage
Lorraine Broderick had deposited there earlier. No, she was not
registered at the hotel. No, she hadn't phoned in and
(06:14):
given him any instructions. Deputy King made arrangements for a
man to cover the lobby in case she showed up
to claim her things, and we went into the topper.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What mut me, gentlemen, police, I like to talk to
the man who was on duty here at noon today. Oh,
that's meet sir. Anything wrong now? This is mister Dollar.
We're trying to locate a woman who's been using the
name Lorraine Bradley. We were told she was in here
around noon today.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
No, I don't recognize that name, sir.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
About five five, dark brown hair, brown eyes, twenty four
years old, or a black strapless summer dress and a stole.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
H twenty No, No, nobody liked that in all day. No,
so noon is a pretty slow time, sir. I don't
notice if anybody like that came in.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I think have you been in duty all at time? Time?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
I came on at ten, that's when we opened. Are
you sure this is the right place?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
The top right now? This is the place I wish.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
I could help to save what I'm sorry, excuse you?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, we struck a one thing. What's that?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That luggage is the Beverly Glen.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, we'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Lorraine Broderick did not return to the Beverly Glen Hotel
that day to claim her luggage. The lobby was watched
around the clock. Her description was on the daily bullet
and every policeman in Los Angeles was on the lookout
for her. I spent my time thinking about the little
girl who had helped an old man sell newspapers one
afternoon years ago, A little girl with a face like
(07:45):
an angel. I didn't feel good about this case. But
Joe Tappan felt worse when I went to see him again. Well, hi,
mind if I come in? What now, mister Dulla your girlfriend?
I've been thinking about what you told us so so
maybe you didn't understand what I told you. I'm not
(08:07):
pushing my weight around Tappan, but it seems to me
you're a little stubborn. And what you want to believe
about her? How old did she tell you? Her baby
was that she lost in a car accident?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Two years old?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
All right? Two years ago. She was working for a
dentist in Hartford, Connecticut. He was pretty much in love
with her. She left him flat to take up with
a man in the brokerage business in New York. She
left him flat, took sixty five hundred dollars when she
did it. There wasn't any baby in her life then.
Her name was Lorraine Brodrick. It still is now. Would
you like to see my file on her? I brought
(08:38):
it along, No, thanks, I thought i'd better prove that
part was a lie.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So you proved it. Mind, if I sit down, help yourself. Thanks?
You have anything else to tell me?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I suppose I do, mister Tappan, since you don't seem
to want to tell me anything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'll just sit down, please.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I've heard every man who knew her describe her, and
I think I can understand why they feel the way
they do. All I've got is a picture from a
high school annual taken when she was seventeen. That was
pretty good. She's twenty four now. She must be seven
years better. Anyhow, You're my only hope. Now what loraene
Brodrick can get away from the police for a while.
(09:19):
Oh yeah, she's smart and clever, and she can go
right on doing these same things she's been doing all along, stealing,
writing bad checks. But that's police business. My part is
to find her and give her something. One man left
her and insurance bequest. But it's become more than that now,
to find her and stop her.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Look, they'll get her eventually, tapping. Do you know what
five years in prison can do to a woman like her?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Do you?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Because I know her and she passed a few bad
checks doesn't mean that I'm responsible in any way.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You're right, it doesn't. But you're involved just the same.
Oh you're different from just some hotel man who's been tilted.
You're a boyfriend, true, just a four day boyfriend, but
a woman like Lorraine Brodrick can do a lot of
damage in four days time.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Why are you here? What do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I'm here to disillusion you, tappen because I don't think
you're disillusioned enough.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You're a perfect stranger to me. I don't know you
from a grand Rappid's chair. But I'm doing you a
favor talking to you about Lorraine Brodrick. I'm doing you
a favor telling you she's a crook and a thief
and a forger and everything she ever told you was
a lie. Now and then, a woman walks into a
man's life that he'd sell his soul for, but all
she'll do in return is write you a bad check
(10:33):
for it. She's trouble in a great big way, tapping
you know it as well as I do.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
What do you want me to do? Apologize for meeting her.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I'll be satisfied if you tell me where she is
and stop lying.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Look here, I've listened to all. Iraine Brodrick never went
to that bar in Hollywood you were talking about yesterday.
You didn't drop her off there. No one there has
ever seen her. And she's the kind who could walk
around the polo grounds with fifty thousand other people and
still be seen. Now, where did you take her? Where
is she now?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Could it? Could it be fixed so she wouldn't know?
I told you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I suppose.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
So she's at the Wentmore Downtown, registered under the name
of Evelyn Brady.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Oh this this beats me. Dollar. I just don't understand it.
What do you mean how what you told me is true?
I know that.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
But an hour ago she called me up here and
she said, Joe, I love you, and that sounded true too,
and I told her that I loved her. Now I'm
turning her in? What kind of crazy world do we live?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
In?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Expense account Adam sixteen fourteen dollars care fare from Malibu
to downtown Los Angeles and the went Moore Hoote, a
second rate old timer on Figaroa Street, a little different
from the swank spots where Lorraine Brodrick had lived. So
gaily the clerk told me she was in thirteen oh two.
I walked down the hall to Lorraine Broderick's room. The
(12:14):
door was standing partially open. All of the lights seemed
to be on. Hello, Hello, Hello, anybody?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Huh what you way?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'd found Lorraine Broderick at last, Only she was standing
on a ledge outside the window, all ready for a
leap into eternity.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
There'll be another intriguing episode of the Broderick Matter tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:58):

left him flat, took sixty five hundred dollars when she
did it. There wasn't any baby in her life then.
Her name was Lorraine Brodrick. It still is now. Would
you like to see my file on her? I brought
(08:38):
it along, No, thanks, I thought i'd better prove that
part was a lie.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So you proved it. Mind, if I sit down, help yourself. Thanks?
You have anything else to tell me?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I suppose I do, mister Tappan, since you don't seem
to want to tell me anything.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'll just sit down, please.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I've heard every man who knew her describe her, and
I think I can understand why they feel the way
they do. All I've got is a picture from a
high school annual taken when she was seventeen. That was
pretty good. She's twenty four now. She must be seven
years better. Anyhow, You're my only hope. Now what loraene
Brodrick can get away from the police for a while.
(09:19):
Oh yeah, she's smart and clever, and she can go
right on doing these same things she's been doing all along, stealing,
writing bad checks. But that's police business. My part is
to find her and give her something. One man left
her and insurance bequest. But it's become more than that now,
to find her and stop her.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Look, they'll get her eventually, tapping. Do you know what
five years in prison can do to a woman like her?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Do you?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Because I know her and she passed a few bad
checks doesn't mean that I'm responsible in any way.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You're right, it doesn't. But you're involved just the same.
Oh you're different from just some hotel man who's been tilted.
You're a boyfriend, true, just a four day boyfriend, but
a woman like Lorraine Brodrick can do a lot of
damage in four days time.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Why are you here? What do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I'm here to disillusion you, tappen because I don't think
you're disillusioned enough.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You're a perfect stranger to me. I don't know you
from a grand Rappid's chair. But I'm doing you a
favor talking to you about Lorraine Brodrick. I'm doing you
a favor telling you she's a crook and a thief
and a forger and everything she ever told you was
a lie. Now and then, a woman walks into a
man's life that he'd sell his soul for, but all
she'll do in return is write you a bad check
(10:33):
for it. She's trouble in a great big way, tapping
you know it as well as I do.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
What do you want me to do? Apologize for meeting her.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I'll be satisfied if you tell me where she is
and stop lying.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Look here, I've listened to all. Iraine Brodrick never went
to that bar in Hollywood you were talking about yesterday.
You didn't drop her off there. No one there has
ever seen her. And she's the kind who could walk
around the polo grounds with fifty thousand other people and
still be seen. Now, where did you take her? Where
is she now?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Could it? Could it be fixed so she wouldn't know?
I told you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I suppose.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
So she's at the Wentmore Downtown, registered under the name
of Evelyn Brady.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Oh this this beats me. Dollar. I just don't understand it.
What do you mean how what you told me is true?
I know that.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
But an hour ago she called me up here and
she said, Joe, I love you, and that sounded true too,
and I told her that I loved her. Now I'm
turning her in? What kind of crazy world do we live?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
In?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Expense account Adam sixteen fourteen dollars care fare from Malibu
to downtown Los Angeles and the went Moore Hoote, a
second rate old timer on Figaroa Street, a little different
from the swank spots where Lorraine Brodrick had lived. So
gaily the clerk told me she was in thirteen oh two.
I walked down the hall to Lorraine Broderick's room. The
(12:14):
door was standing partially open. All of the lights seemed
to be on. Hello, Hello, Hello, anybody?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Huh what you way?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I'd found Lorraine Broderick at last, Only she was standing
on a ledge outside the window, all ready for a
leap into eternity.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
There'll be another intriguing episode of the Broderick Matter tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:58):

Lorraine Broderick. Join us, won't you Yours Truly? Johnny Dower?
