Homicide Detail. A 22 year old girl has been abducted, and the worried family is counting on Joe Friday.

Joe Friday wakes up his partner at 3 AM to investigate the case of the abducted 22 year old Sullivan girl. The family is far from wealthy, so a kidnapping doesn’t make sense. The cops interview the girl’s dad. He shows the ransom note that specifies the deadline and the $30k amount. The stakes increase when the kidnapper learns the cops are involved.

A fingerprint on the ransom note, and a handwriting match leads to an out of state connection. what will the massive dragnet operation turn up?

Should the cops be suspicious of Mr Sullivan’s behavior, or his trips to the bank? The body of Judy Sullivan is found. Has the kidnapper gotten tired of the cat and mouse game? The tearful reaction of Mr Sullivan seems legitimate, and the search for the killer heats up.

A suspect is identified. his apartment searched. And evidence is clear/ Cops blanket the area. When their man is cornered in a movie theater, a chase begins that ends in gunplay.
