you suppose happened to his share of the half a million they got away with we find him we'll ask him I can almost give you the answer right now Gordon that's why Clark beat it to him first thing that's why Gordon gave him a car and a steak you think Gordon was part of the caper exceptin except why some innocent little doctor was tossed out of an 18-story window yeah that's where the arithmetic doesn't total up I only knew a little more about Clark his habits his friends we might get a pattern to follow well under behavior it says here he cooperated he got along well with his

Runyon yes bill wanted me to tell you he's out hunting up some new places to eat its death due to strangulation but why did he want to kill her same reason the doc was killed you want to see her no thanks the body I want to see is ROI clients well you forget we're not looking for Clark out here you are now if he was picked up unidentified missing persons would handle it no record on Roy Clark or Shevlin you ever figure he may not be dead I figure everything until I know for sure let's see Roy disappeared on April 20th on a Thursday how many bodies were brought in between the 20th and 23rd April 23rd five how many were identified three give me a rundown the other two one female suicide on mail truck smash up burned beyond recognition any medical report Ella man was over six feet tall had dark hair hey Clark had dark hair and he was about that size too so my my hair dark now here's an interesting note a truck was stolen from us trucking company oh that's great now Clark steals himself a truck and sets himself on fire look I've got a desk full of work let me know when you hit on a better idea I'll do just that sweet aren't this looks like a nice one Just Peachy don't you feel well never felt better yes I'll take this one you know this is the favorite with little boys well I'm a big boy madam I'll take this one very well but the other one has real headlights well so you got yourself a truck now what are you gonna do with your toy play exhibits a B C D and E one wooden toy truck several sheets of paper a toothpick a match and a highly combustible lighter fluid everything is here everything but the man in the white coat in the straitjacket but there's a method to my madness observed here we have a truck the sort of a truck in which mr. Roy Clark man he's dead in here cargo that the trucks carry and here Oh may i one else tooth Hey and that gentlemen is how Roy Clark perished and this this is the reason why dr. Bromley and the nurse were killed Roy Clark's teeth the one thing fire can't destroy oh it's been a tough day Brad see if you can take it slowly alright then from the beginning the minute Clark was sprung he made a beeline for his pals to man his share of the loot they figured was cheaper to kill him and eliminate the one person who could finger them for the job reasonable sounds reasonable thank you but a phone call from a dr. Bromley threw them for a loop it seems he had taken x-rays of Roy's teeth and such x-rays could identify Clark as you know yes well go on so they broke into the doctor's office cleaned house and then followed him to New York where they got the other x-ray and knocked off the doc thus eliminating the last connection with Roy's murder well why kill the doctor they had already destroyed the x-rays because the doctor could identify his own work on Clark and as for Jane she must have seen the killer back east and then recognized him out here now do you find any holes in that chain of events holes no but there's no evidence either that's right no evidence yet later lieutenant later come on bill we're going over to u.s. trucking alright boss sure I remember the truck in question two tons of 8 years old who gonna steal a jalopy like that it was a honey just how to repaint it the driver room he's always around I'm stuck with him like Texas pinky pinky my brethren though how do you do hi mr.
