Now back to our 1930s true crime series, "Police Reporter". We're running through all 26 episodes over the next few months. Daniel Reidstra sent me an email last week noting that Jay Hickerson's "Guide to All Circulating Radio Shows" lists "Police Reporter" and saying that the program ran five days a week between January 2, 1935 and February 5, 1936 with 26 episodes. Jay, if you're out there - what's the source of your info on this one?
In program 4, an elderly woman in Paris shows kindness to a young man who is down on his luck. But, she's robbed and killed. The show notes that the crime occurred "seventeen years ago". I haven't been able to dig up any info on the real case. Anyone else have better luck on this one? The show was transferred from an original shellac Radio Release, Ltd transcription, pressed by Allied Recording in Hollywood, matrix number A-1075. update, June 7, 2010 A sharp-eyed reader of the blog spotted three articles about the Roger Voron case. Two are syndicated excerpts of a true crime book and another is a review of the book itself.
