[Music]

did you find anything I don't know I was

looking out in the trash and I found

today's newspaper with a couple of

articles clicked out the old man was

cute with some sort of scrap yeah

seems like it's interested in crime

stories too now this is this morning's

newspaper there's two pages ripped out

of the scrap so this killers coming in

here snuffing this guy and then he's

taking old articles with him let's go

locate these missing articles

[Music]

have a date on that date I got a place

at a time Bernie

it looks like hunters car no what the

hell is he doing there sir I've been

getting some very interesting

information about hunter from this

prisoner right here how you doing

captain

Rhys best hunter well I was transported

in this hula gun that we picked up from

the park downtown when we saw the cars

we decided to stop by

yeah we saw these cop cars we thought

maybe two Williger got hit by a bus or

something we were concerned

well according to Bernie your prisoner

here has a lot to say I've got it all

written down and signed by the minister

I had it I hid it

right here hey we'll look I like to

stick around and chat with you guys we

got a booking to go to

you should have seen him

I really had him going thanks daddy

appreciate this I owe you one oh hey

Bernie's wallet fuck hey you ain't got

to open the door

adios amigos stick around by the library

McCall

excuse me we're looking for the last two

issues of the newspaper logo we're out

of town local planning on photocopying

what's the possibility why is against

the law only if you photocopy money in

which case they put you away and it

usually turns out pretty awful anyway

now we charge for all of our photocopies

no checks no credit cards do you need

change I think we can handle it would

you just point us in the direction in

the file right over there against the

wall oh do you have your library card

never leave home without it this is

really a long shot you know well well

you're bobbing for anything you try it

but come on a rumpled up newspaper in

the victim's trash can that could be zip

yeah but maybe the killer didn't want us

to find it you got to keep an open mind

about these things we'll call all right

what do you got

a sacramental corner is currently

examining the remains of Martin clink

for a final determination of death which

is thought to have been precipitated by

court or rope do you mind keeping it

down a little please that stuff makes me

sick mr. clean business meeting with an

assurance a pliant

was found lying just outside the front

door of a small apartment not far from

the State Capitol building it's about a

murder

big deal well the parallels the cases

that we've been running into they're all

strangulations don't you get the

connection hunter why would this guy

kill somebody up in Sacramento and then

come down to LA to get another victim

victims victims plural okay fine but it

still doesn't make any sense

yet I'll bet if we call the Sacramento

coroner's office right now he might be

through with their investigation it may

have something to do with this case not

well if not and I've just be faced a

publicly-owned major newspaper but the

funnies

[Applause]

I just got the phone with Sacramento get

this they found pieces of rawhide

embedded in the victims neck the same

way John Matthews died uh-huh and this

is weird hunter

why would Matthews cut out an article on

the Sacramento killing and then he winds

up being killed the same way I better

run the Sacramento guy to see if he's

still on the street and if he is I said

we will pay him a visit

there this guy lived in Los Angeles

seven years ago in Van Nuys think

Matthews knew him yeah possibly but it

still doesn't explain the connection

between the killer and the two victims

there's something about this address

that rings a bell

loretta Johnson Brett Johnson lived in

West Hollywood yeah currently but here's

the sheet on in 1978 or California

driver's license address was Van Nuys

California all three of these people

lived in the same area in 1978 remember

those news clippings at Matthew's house

about the jury trial all these victims

were living in the same district at the

very same time and they pulled jurors

from voter registration files by

districts you think hunter you're right

all three of these victims served as

jurors at the trial of Loomis McMahon he

was convicted of murder who sentenced to

life

usually means he's back out on the

streets the first thing I want to do is

contact the other two jurors living in

Los Angeles to see if they've received

any phone calls

[Music]

just a minute

[Music]

damn

hi mr. Elmer Atkins that's right

who are you I'm Sergeant Dean of a call

homicide division recommend speak with

your place

it's about the Lois McMahon case

something's happened

he's out of prison isn't he well we're

checking on that right now

mrs. Atkins what we do know is that at

least through the other members of the

jury that convicted him have been

receiving rather strange phone calls and

shortly thereafter been strangled he

said he would are you saying McMahon

said he'd kill the jurors Wynn was right

after the conviction was brought in he

looked over this before they took him

away and he said we were more guilty

than he was and we would pay he used the

word guilty first time I laid eyes on

that man I it scared me to death it's

just the pipes they make noise listen

mrs. Atkins we'd like to offer you some

protection if you'll take it at least

until we know whether or not it is loose

McMahon and if it is until we're getting

convicted miss McCall we both know it's

Lois McMahon he didn't look like the

other young man whose trials I was a

juror on the others look like they had

some humanity in their faces

he said they would just mislead as if

they weren't really happy having done

something wrong mr. McMahon he's sort of

liked what he did you know what I mean

you liked it if you couldn't get enough

miss Atkins take some protection from us

okay

no I don't think I want the hit just yet

not that I'm a fool but you said the

victims had all been telephone first

yeah that's right well if he calls me

I'll call you fair

I don't get it how can they continually

parole guys like that why do they always

want to live in Los Angeles Sunshine

State

nice place

scuse me looking for lost

McMahon

come back there Louis McMahon

[Music]

please get out of the truck come on move

it

what about okay then why'd you run I'm

asking you a question now look you

either gonna talk to me you're gonna

tell it to the ground now why did you

run what's going on questioning a

suspect I could save your breath Louie

can't talk what do you mean Louie can't

talk no voice box and it cut clean

through in a knife fight in prison

[Music]

his vocal cords were severed in the

fight it was in the prison yard about

six years ago since then he hasn't been

able to speak he ran from me did you

come barging in flashing a badge to a

parolee he gets scared he runs jury

convicts this guy of murder and then

three months ago in Sacramento he gets

out on parole and a juror turns up dead

and then he moves to Los Angeles and

guess what happens two more of those

same jurors wind up dead I'm his parole

officer he's a model parolee and he

can't talk and you've got witnesses they

claim he calls up and talks to his

victims using the word guilty yeah it's

all too simple isn't it I mean wouldn't

McCann be the perfect subject to a frame

for these murders that's what I think is

happening McCann is a fall guy for some

nut Oh give me a break no you give me a

break McCall now we got a search warrant

for the guy's apartment and it's clean

and then we got nothing on this guy

nothing and no DEA is gonna hold a mute

who's making phone calls to people maybe

he can talk what maybe he's just been

holding out for six years go to hell

heads for you yeah this is the guy

I'm innocent

great hello we can't hold him so let's

drop it huh we got nothing and you stay

up this case huh I mean it

hello 56 hunter here got it we're on our

way I mean after this guy's trial da set

us all down and told us that whenever

some criminal makes a threat on the jury

they never follow through well actually

documented case where a convicted

criminal actually to go after the jurors

but we just wanted to play safe they

wanted to take all precautions I tell

you I was really scared and the guy

called

yeah we called about ten minutes ago if

he's gonna make his moves and make it

pretty soon

[Music]

Hunter come on
