Originally Aired: April 12, 1949
Philo Vance #40, "Green Girls Murder Case," begins with shocking news over the radio: Jane Green, daughter of wealthy merchant Eric Green, has been found stabbed to death near her home around midnight. The police are completely baffled, with Sergeant Heath admitting that a lack of clues may hinder the investigation. Neither Jane's distraught parents nor her sister Penny can provide any motive for the brutal killing, leaving authorities at a standstill.
When District Attorney Markham calls Vance, the conversation takes an unexpected turn. Despite the mysterious nature of the case, Markham insists he won't need Vance's help, claiming that Sergeant Heath and his men will eventually find something. Vance, however, senses something is amiss. As he confides to his secretary Miss Williams, Markham clearly doesn't want him involved in this investigation, and Vance believes he knows exactly why. What secret is Markham trying to protect, and what connection might the District Attorney have to the Green family murder?
