Bob Powell returns as psychic investigator Frank Batelle in this Mojave Beach Audio Production of Murder at the Liberty Ballroom. The Governor of Kansas asks her friend Batelle to track down the killer of a former movie star before it becomes a media circus. Audrey Hilliard suffered a cruel death in the place she once dominated as the most beautiful homecoming queen in her small Midwestern village. Having been in town only hours before her murder, the challenge is to find the person who lured her to the infamous Liberty Ballroom. Suspect Janet Denison, a former classmate, once vowed to get even with Audrey for stealing her lover “even if takes the rest of my life”. Tony cherishes the memory of himself and Audrey as everyone’s favorite dance team. How could Audrey have forgotten? The local librarian bitterly resents Audrey’s treatment of her mother, while Sheriff Crane denies having known Audrey in their youth. A lie that covers the pain Audrey caused when she broke his heart, his spirit and sparked a rage that would last a lifetime. The “gift” that often leads Batelle down dark corridors and into blind alleys, leads him this time to an ending with a twist no one anticipated. Producer-director Esther Luttrell adapted the script from a short story by Dennis Smirl. Barbara Powell co-produced. An outstanding cast of Mojave Beach Players help to keep listeners in suspense. Excellent score by David Fesliyan, Steve Oxen, David Renda, and David Robson of Fesliyan Studios. Sound effects courtesy of Freesound. Uppbeat provided the talent of composer Jonny Boyle performing his song “Bright Life”. Jack Diamond is the announcer. Running time 54:36.
