:13:00
- Would you like a flashlight?
- I've offered him one.
:13:03
That last call was from the police.
They've found your husband's car.
:13:11
- Was there any sign of violence?
- None.
:13:21
- How did they stop it?
- It was found near a stop sign.
:13:25
We assume your husband stopped
and the kidnappers found the opportunity...
:13:29
Mr Carlson, there's a gentleman to see you.
:13:32
Lieutenant. Gentlemen, this is
Lieutenant Columbo, our local police liaison.
:13:37
- How do you do?
- As I was saying,
:13:39
the stop sign suggests that...
:13:43
- Is there something we can do for you?
- I came to say that they found the car.
:13:47
- We already have that information.
- I can see that.
:13:51
- How's the tap-in coming?
- Not yet.
:13:54
- Feel free to stay if you like.
- Thank you very much.
:13:59
(Carlson) Jerry, get a man to check houses
in the area where the car was found.
:14:03
Somebody may have
seen or heard something.
:14:06
Start from Sunset and work your way up.
:14:08
Hammond, get the lab report
on the luggage in the car.
:14:12
Do you suppose the kidnappers
followed him from Phoenix?
:14:16
- I doubt that.
- They must have known when he left.
:14:20
That's why we think they had someone
there checking the time of departure.
:14:25
- Then they could notify their confederates...
- Sir?
:14:28
The lieutenant would like
to see the ransom note.
:14:32
Do you know what time your husband left?
:14:35
- Excuse me. May I see the envelope?
- Surely.
:14:39
No. I didn't, neither did anyone in my office.
:14:42
Which police garage
did they take the car to?
:14:45
- Downtown.
- We'll run a set of fingerprints.
:14:48
(Carlson) Strange thing, Mrs Williams,
:14:50
when you look at the route
your husband must have taken...
:14:53
- What is that, an aerial map?
- Hm-mm.
:14:56
- I see.
- (Carlson)... the streets are dark, secluded...
:14:59
What's it for?
