The Merrill Kent Matter: A Widow, A Whisper, and a Town’s Doubt
Originally Aired: November 17, 1951
When Johnny Dollar is sent to the remote village of Fort Scott, New Mexico, to investigate the accidental death of Merrill Kent, he finds more than just dust and horses. The local sheriff is reluctant, the doctor defensive, and the widow... too perfect. A mysterious anonymous phone call during Kent’s funeral claims murder, leading Dollar to request an autopsy over community objections. As tensions rise and secrets surface—including an unspoken love between the widow and the town doctor—the investigation takes a tragic turn with a shocking suicide and a confession letter that only deepens the mystery. In a gripping finale, Johnny uncovers the truth behind a supposed accident that nearly tore a quiet town apart. In this taut and emotional episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, justice hangs by a thread, and even truth comes with a cost.
