The Brick-Bat Slayer
Aired: Sep 24th, 1949. A killer is stalking Los Angeles apartment courts, slipping through cut window screens to murder women in their own homes—and leaving the murder weapon, an ordinary red brick, behind every time. Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Ben Romero comb a fresh double-homicide scene for the thinnest of clues: a smudged fingerprint, a footprint missing a toe, a killer's strange habit of tidying up after himself. Vintage 1949 police procedural, told in Dragnet's clipped, just-the-facts style.
