Show Notes

The Whistler presents “Murder in Mind,” originally broadcast on April 16, 1950. This is episode 411 of the CBS Pacific network suspense series, sponsored by Signal Oil Company.

At their hillside home in the exclusive Terrace Heights district, Gil and Vicki Hollister wait uneasily after a supposed accident involving Gil’s stepmother, Bell. Her startling return, a newly hired driver-bodyguard, and a troubling piece of evidence turn an inheritance-minded domestic scheme into a tense game of nerves. Featuring Frances Robinson.

Old Time Mystery Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
