Originally Aired: October 5, 1948
Philo Vance #13, "The Bulletin Murder Case,"
Reporter Eddie Harkins receives what seems like a routine assignment from her editor Mike: get an interview with the renowned private investigator Philo Vance. But before Harkins can reach Vance's office, she's found stabbed to death in the back of a taxi cab, a knife plunged into her heart. District Attorney Markham brings the news to Vance, whose secretary Ellen worries that murder is getting too close to home. The only lead appears to be Harkins' previous story about concert pianist Lillian White, who allegedly inherited half a million dollars and was once married to a mysterious man named Joe McGuff.
As Vance and Markham begin their investigation, the case takes a darker turn when the taxi driver who discovered Harkins' body is also murdered in the same manner. Mike dispatches reporter Eddie to dig deeper into the Lillian White connection, while a threatening phone call from the supposedly dead Joe McGuff himself reveals that secrets from the pianist's past may hold the key to both killings.
