No one appears to have been close enough to fire the fatal shot, and the few people who might have had a motive all have seemingly airtight alibis. Detective Burton Trent joins Scotland Yard\u2019s MacDonald Craig to investigate a baffling case involving a suspicious neighbor, a missing rifle cartridge, and an unusual contraption. Can Trent uncover the secret behind a murder that appears to have been committed from nowhere?<\/p>\n<p>Original Radio Broadcast: May 15, 1938<\/p>\n<p>Originating in Brisbane<\/p>\n<p>Starring the 4BC Players<\/p>\n<p>Support the show monthly at <a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.greatdetectives.net\/\">https:\/\/patreon.greatdetectives.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Patreon Supporter of the Day: JL, supporting the podcast since November 2020<\/p>\n<p>Support the show on a one-time basis at <a href=\"http:\/\/support.greatdetectives.net.\/\">http:\/\/support.greatdetectives.net.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mail a donation to: Adam Graham, PO Box 15913, Boise, Idaho 83715<\/p>\n<p>Take the listener survey\u2026<a href=\"http:\/\/survey.greatdetectives.net\/\">http:\/\/survey.greatdetectives.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Give us a call 208-991-4783<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on Instagram at <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/greatdetectives\">http:\/\/instagram.com\/greatdetectives<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Become one of our<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/radiodetectives\"><u>friends on Facebook.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on Twitter<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/radiodetectives\"><u>@radiodetectives<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join us again tomorrow for another detective drama from the Golden Age of Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/greatdetectives\/s\/www.greatdetectives.net\/otrdetectives\/gd5097.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSSToday&#8217;s Mystery: When wealthy invalid Oliver Deems is shot while sitting in his garden, the circumstances seem to make the murder impossible.
