What a wonderful way to spend sleepness nights from a bad back. Only problem is that once I can sleep these stories are so interesting I can't stop listening. :)

Hank Decker was played by Jeff Chandler, who had a substantial career in radio before he was discovered by the movies.

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

One of my favorite actors, had no idea he was ever in radio though till now. Thanks for the info!

[@heyoldman2003]

Sad one 😮. Based on a true story. I always thank the Police when I see one “ Thank you for doing a Thankless job “ guess that line has been around awhile 😎

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

I’m 90% certain Mrs. Decker was played by Virginia Gregg who was a friend of Jack Webbs and a very active radio performer. Later Webb used her on the Dragnet TV show many times in different characters clear up to the 1970’s.

[@robertgibson2999]

Great to hear the co-star Michael Shane!

[@heyoldman2003]

[@doreekaplan2589]

Used to really like Jeff Chandler. Now I hear he was a transvestite.....nuts dude

[@mikemarley2389]

Aaahhaahaha!That is why it is called Drag net.Get it?

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

Never heard that. Of course now they’re saying all the old time actors had some kink or another. Who knows? For me, who cares? He had a great voice though!
