BUHN DA-DUHN DUHN! It’s Dragnet! This week, we’ve gone back to our Listener Library for an episode of the iconic series recommended to us by our Patreon member Jack. Thanks, Jack! The story, entitled “The Big Thank You,” features Joe Friday’s investigation into a paroled murdereress with some irregularities regarding her paperwork. The more he investigates, the more suspicious she seems! Is she the ideal houseguest her neighbors describe? Is she lying about the benefactors who gave her a home? How much harm could a Spanish woman with a sword do? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

The name of the actress who played the old lady (I believe that she also played the niece) is Peggy Webber. Webber is still alive and actually celebrated her 100th birthday just a few weeks ago.
I’m pretty sure that Webber played the niece also. When I heard the niece’s voice, I immediately pictured an actress from several episodes of the 1967-70 Dragnet TV series, and then had to do some Googling to find out her name. I could have saved some time if I’d just come here and read your comment first! 🙂
