Richard Diamond, Private Detective - The Jean Cooper Murder Case

Old Time Radio Mysteries

In Central Park, a girl gets run over by a car driven by a young guy. The guy stops, and is standing over the girl, saying "I swear that I didn't do this, I loved her. Someone pushed her into the street in front of my car". A police officer is quickly at the scene. A short time later, the ambulance arrives. The officer says to the ambulance driver "you're too late". The ambulance driver says "Central Park is turning into a graveyard. The gangster Geno Scarbo just got shot full of holes a few minutes ago". A couple of days later, Richard is in his office talking to Helen over the phone when a man walks in and says "Mr. Diamond, I want to hire you. My son is being held on a manslaughter charge, but he didn't do it. The girl, Jean Cooper, was shoved in front of his car. My name is Earl Cook and my son's name is Tom. He is at the Fifth Precinct Police Station".
