Dragnet S04E08 D H Q Missing Person

[@1981lashlarue]

This is the first Dragnet episode I saw as a kid. Watched it with my grandfather.

[@Nisan7012]

Strange but good at the same time

[@DateTwoRelate]

Howard Culver as the psychiatrist was simply ridiculous but glad he took on the role along with the 900 others he took on as part of Jack's version of the Mercury Theater.

[@JohnParks-zc1pn]

He met with her every week and did not pick up on this?

[@operadog2000]

Jill Banner, who played Shirley Lawson, was unfortunately killed by a drunk driver in 1982 at the age of 35. R.I.P.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Yes a little more than four months before Jack Webb passed away.

[@reddhead2948]

Well that's absolutely horrible damn

[@winonamassingill7895]

What a sad 😢true “movie”. 😭😭

[@curtismoon5316]

Such a beautiful woman.

[@MetalWarrior-jb5cq]

I have seen many Dragnet episodes in different series. This episode with it's mystery is far more creative than any other I have seen.

[@ronwade2206]

Today an adult found in this situation has committed a felony.

[@shirtless6934]

That is what I am thinking too. Using another's identification. Enrolling in high school, getting involved with minors, etc.

[@robertschumann7737]

Things were much simpler back then. When someone did that the authorities didn't look at it as the reason for it being a worst case scenario. I'm sure today its a felony because they are assuming the person did it because they want to diddle high school kids not as some mentally struggling 20 something that just lost their dad and trying to return to an easier time when life wasn't so hard. Nobody can do anything today with innocent reasons behind it. Every action someone does is nefarious. It was actually really tough to catch a felony back then when you were under 25. They would give you chance after chance so you would have a clean record when you became a responsible adult. Now they can't wait to get you into the system and on probation. It's sad. My brother for example went out with a couple buddies when he was 17 and played trash day. That is where you drive by a garbage can then the passenger picks it up then the driver accelerates to about 20 then the passenger launches the can into a mailbox. Definitely not nice and worth some kind of punishment. They gave all 3 of them multiple felonies. He couldn't go into the army and still has trouble getting a job and he is almost 30. It really is stupid how hard the system comes down on kids today. Violent offenses I understand completely but something like what my brother did? Come on...

[@jefftuttrup2596]

Never saw this one before, good one.

[@winonamassingill7895]

That model manager’s hair is unbelievable. 😂😂😂😂

[@gplunk]

I wonder how that thing was glued down....

[@jamesfox2579]

LMAO!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pendragonxt3674]

This is both a sad and a very common occurrence. Shirley suffered a psychotic break because of built up stress in her life and this was the result. Thankfully her encounter with Joe Friday and Bill Gannon gave her a lesson in perspective and she decided to return to college.

[@charlesyoung9980]

Friday and Gannon are not ordinary Fuzz!!!

[@spencerbarnett8618]

Been a great show for years

[@garyford99]

I guess this was before physician-patient privilege was popular.

[@JohnParks-zc1pn]

Not to mention HIPAA.

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

The 1960s had some truly hideous hair styles as in 6:15 when at 2:47 it isn't.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

Peggy Webber played the school administrator.

[@JohnParks-zc1pn]

She was a Dragnet regular from way back.

[@kenandersen9941]

I Have seen all episodes 9f color and black white episode of dragnet and listen all radio episodes

[@muffs55mercury61]

The series was and still is great entertainment to watch. Radio episodes are great company while out on the road.

[@canduswilson1364]

Love them all. I really do. I am thankful someone took the time to down load them.

[@josephfinnegan151]

23,915 View's So Far: Dragnet: Episode 80. Season 4. Episode 8. "DHQ: Missing Persons". Friday, June 16 - 2023.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

It has to be a true story. No one could make up such a weird story. Jill Banner was in two other Dragnet. I one called "Th E Hammer", she played the wife of a murderer and wasn't much better. In the other she also played a friend of the murderer, A college student. I think it was in the fourth season, as well.

[@jwavada]

I remember both episodes. The first one she was Camille Gerhardt Tosca, and she had a really crappy attitude. The latter one was the second episode of the 4th season; she was Nancy Morton, who had a better disposition than Camille did.

[@ScarletRaider513]

One more for Jill Banner. The episode "The Senior Citizen". She plays the prostitute who has a glass of water at the crime scene who confessed to a murder occurring in an apartment house managed by a former Chicago detective(played by Burt Mustin)

[@youdodat2]

The psychobabble is hysterical.

[@iignorerepliesfrombores4010]

Bizarre

[@majikglustik9704]

A happy ending.

[@federalagenciesarecourtesans]

How much hairspray does it take to hold that hair?

[@marlonholt40]

I wonder if Carlee Russel watched this episode. Carlee, isnt getting this ending.

[@leaettahyer9175]

When that girl went missing Friday should have made some phone calls to determine the whereabouts of Bill Cosby !

[@gplunk]

Probably on the set of The Bill Cosby Show....

[@barackillbombya3835]

Cosby was already an established comedian at this time and had already been dipping his wick for several years.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

@@barackillbombya3835 "Dipping his wick"... Whipping his **** 🙄😕
