A mother is threatened with the kidnapping of her daughter by an unknown caller. First the mother asks Ripley for help, but shortly afterwards she claims that she never spoke to the FBI investigator. This 1956 Radio Bremen crime thriller culminates in a fast-paced finale! The famous actor Hans Paetsch investigates as John Ripley. The author duo Mildred and Gordon Gordon used authentic documents from the American police for this psychological thriller. The radio play captures the 1950s: the cars rattle, the telephones ring and tape recordings are the biggest hit in the crime lab. Image source: Boris Breuer
