Man from Homicide Drowned Girl Case Detective Mystery Old Time Radio Shows 1950s

A woman is found dead, floating in the bay. It looked like suicide, but it wasn't, despite a cop being an eyewitness. Lieutenant Dana wonders what happened to her hat!
About:
In the early 1950s radio producers were constantly seeking new themes with which to capture the listening audience. A headstrong investigator working on the side of the law, however, was a novel idea. The ABC series The Man from Homicide was based on this very premise. Originated in 1950, by radio script writer Louis Vittes.
Vittes turned this idea into a finished product with talent agent Ben Pearson and Helen Mack. The Man from Homicide featured the exploits of a large, fictional, and unnamed city police department's homicide squad.
In addition to Lt. Dana (played by Charles McGraw and Dan Duryea), the initial story provided an assistant, Sergeant Dave Meyers, which afforded some genuine comic relief. The theme and musical interludes were composed and conducted by Robert Armbruster, music director of the NBC Western Division.
