Murder In The Rain

Deadly Potentialities Part 1: The Poison Pistol


Listen Later

In the weeks leading up to an ocean voyage to The Philippines, Gene Bassett listed his brand new Chrysler for sale in local (Seattle) newspapers. He'd decided to sell the automobile rather than have it shipped to him in Manila, having recently accepted a position there. The morning he left on a ferry to meet a prospective buyer was the last time any of his family ever saw him. The brand-new vehicle also vanished with Gene Bassett. It was recovered days later, eight hundred miles from its last known sighting, driven by a man with at least a dozen aliases- and Bassett, thought dead, was said to have been buried somewhere in the wilds outside of Seattle.
