There's nothing more satisfying than finding the perfect green paint for your living room. Except maybe popping open that can of Valspar Ultra and rolling that first smooth stroke on the wall. And there's nothing more satisfying than admiring your freshly painted wall. Except maybe peeling off the painter's tape to see those crisp edges. But the most satisfying part of all, Valspar Ultra's price tag, starting at $29.98 a gallon, affordable, durable, available at Lowes. Price varies by sheen. Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns.

And now, here's today's adventure with the tales of the Texas Rangers. And now, from the files of the Texas Rangers, the case called uncertain death. It is shortly past 10 o' clock on a Wednesday night in July, 1936. Six miles outside the town of Cambridge in east central Texas, two elderly men approach the shore of a lake. Come on. Come on, Ollie, we gotta hurry. I'm walking as fast as you can. Them frogs ain't gonna run away. That ain't the point and you know it. Frogs for bass fishing gotta be caught and put in the bait bucket 12 hours before they can be used. Oh, that superstition George Warner ain't gonna help. It none going way over the other side of the lake neither. There's plenty of frogs right here. Now, you know these frogs ain't good for bass. Only frogs them bass will eat. Gonna be caught on the other side where the turtles is. Oh, superstition is nothing but. Ollie. Huh? Shine a light over there. Ain't that the game warden's car? It don't look nothing like it. Does too. I wonder what he's doing out here this time of night. Let's go see. Now, don't you go poking your nose in other people's business. There ain't nobody in it and it ain't the game warden's car. There's two. Wait a minute. Shine the light down toward the shore. Wait a minute. What do you want? There now, you see. Car belongs to that young couple sitting on the bank. Sorry we disturbed you folks. That's okay. Didn't mean to be shining a light on you. We thought you was a game warden. Yeah, sure. How about that, Ollie? Young couple sparking on the summer night. Puts me in mind. When we was young and used to bring our gals out here. Well, here's the boat. You get in first and I'll shove off. I roll. No, you won't. You start rolling, will be five minutes before you complaining about it. We'll head for that patch of weeds near the COVID Best frogs in the lake come there nights. I still don't see no sense in going all the way over there to the other side. You'll see. Wait till we catch us some of them big mouth bass tomorrow. Oh, I sure hope we catch them. Ain't nothing like big mouth bass for good eating. You ain't going to leave it. You hear that? You ain't going to do it. What's that? Sounds like them young people having some kind of squabble. Come back here. You better come back. That shooting. We better get in the shore, George. If we go in there, he's liable to shoot us. Have trouble, come on up here alongside of me. You better help roll. All right, but I still think you. Quit thinking and roll. Dad. He's leaving, George, and he's driving away. Keep rolling. You reckon he killed that girl? We don't even know it was him doing the shooting. She was yelling at her to come back, wasn't he? Here, come on, Ellie. Pull on that hole. When the two men reached shore, they looked briefly around the area where they had seen the car. They found no one there and no indication of violence. Nevertheless, they decided to report the incident to the sheriff. After investigating the scene of the alleged shooting, the sheriff requested assistance from the Texas Rangers. Ranger Jace Pearson was assigned and arrived at the lake just after dawn. Sheriff led him toward a spot at the edge of the water. What I wanted to show you is. Over here, Jase. First I thought them two old fellows must have been hearing things though. They still around, Sheriff? Over there with the crowd. Funny how excitement draws people like bees around a jam jar. You want to talk to George and Olie? Yeah, in a few minutes. There you are. When I found this, I was pretty sure there really was a shooting here. Yeah. Blood all right. George and Ollie think it was a girl that was shot. Why? They heard the man yelling for her to come back and then there was three, four shots. You figure she could have got up and crawled away after she was hit? That's not likely. Tracks indicate she was dragged, probably back. The car, the two men. Witnesses recognize either of the people? No, it was too dark. Only thing they remembered was a car. A black four door sedan. Well, I reckon we'll just have to wait for a missing persons report. If the girl really was killed, I. What's the matter? Mind hand me that branch, Sheriff, I think I see something in the water. Sure. Yeah. Thanks. Can you make out what it is? I think it's. Yeah, it is a woman's handbag. Shoulder straps broken. That could have happened when she fell. Uh huh. Lipstick, compact, driver's license. Water didn't smear the type too much, did it? No. Name's Lucy Regan. Lucy Regan? Why that's a kindergarten teacher here in town. A real sweet kid. Nobody'd want to hurt a girl like that. We're not sure it's the girl who was hurt. Let's go find out. We drove back to town and went to Lucy Riggins rooming house. She wasn't there. Her landlady said she'd left at seven the night before and had not returned. She was fairly sure Lucy had been out with Ken Bowman, a young cowhand from a nearby ranch. Sheriff and I went out to the ranch, arriving there about 10 that morning. We learned that Bowman was with a crew setting up new fence posts about four miles from the ranch house. We took horses and started looking for them. There they are now. Down at the bottom of the sloop. Uh huh. What's all the construction work over there by the next hill, Sheriff? That's a new county road. We've been waiting for it quite a spell. Sure. Be glad when they get it finished. Looks like they're cutting through part of this ranch just A corner. Reckon that's why they're setting up new fence post. Which one of you fellas is Ken Bowman? You. Over here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Terry, hold down. What's the matter? Ranger and I'd like to talk to you. Why, sure. Anything wrong? Wanna ask you some questions about Lucy Regan. What about her? Were you out with her last night? Yeah. Why? Her landlady says she hasn't been back to the house since she left with you. That ain't true. I brought her back myself. What time was this? Early. About 9 o'. Clock. She said she had a headache. She was lying though. How do you mean? Ah, taking her out five, six times in the past few months. She always makes some kind of excuse to get back early. What's the matter? Didn't you two get along? We get along all right. Except when she starts acting like a school teacher telling me how I should talk. When you brought her home, did you take her up to the house? No, she got out of the car in front of the house. Said she didn't want me to come in. She probably had another date waiting for inside. Last time I'm taking her out. Where'd you go after you took Lucy home? No place special. Evening was already ruined. I drove around a while, then I come back to the ranch. Did you go out to the lake? Uh. I've been near the lake in weeks. Look, Ranger, why are you asking all these questions? We're afraid Lucy might have been murdered. Murdered? Just cause she don't show up one morning. Shit. She goes over to the library and bing em a lot. Maybe that's where she gone. See some of them college fellas. Maybe so. But you were the last person she was seen with. Oh, look rangy. Like I say, I took the girl out five or six times. I hardly even know her. Why'd you pick on someone else? What color's your car, Bowman? My car? Oh, it's black. What's that got? Four door. Sedan? Yeah, why? Where is it now? Back at the range. Huh. Suppose you stop work for a while. We'd like to see your. Well, there it is. Ain't much of a car on a cowpoke spade as good as I can buy. Mind if I look inside? Go ahead. How'd you get the blood on the back seat? Blood? Why? I don't see no blood. Looks like you're trying to wash it off. How'd it get there? Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember now. About a month ago I went out shooting rabbits. I got a couple and put them on the Back seat. Funny you didn't put something under them before you set them in the car. I did. Had him in a burlap sack. Blood must have soaked through. You sleep in one of the bunk houses over there? That's right. We'd like to take a look at your bunk. Hey, look. What's this all about? Some girl goes out of town without telling nobody. So right away you come picking on me Just cause I was out with her a couple of times. Including last night? Sure, including last night. That still ain't no. Why don't you show us your bunk now? All right. You're welcome. Look at anything you want. Thanks, no. If you really think something happened to Lucy, why don't you go talk to some of them college boys, your honsworld? We'll check on them later. Where's your bunk? Right here. First one. Let me see what's in that suitcase under the bunk. Okay. Well, go ahead. Look. This your pistol? Yeah. Cleaned it recently, haven't you? This morning. I like a clean gun. When was the last time you used it? I don't know. Maybe a month ago. Time I shot rabbit. Any special reason for cleaning it this morning? No. Just thought it needed cleaning. You're trying awful hard to prove I had something to do with Lucy's murder, ain't you? Randy, we're not sure she's dead. But if she is, you're sure gonna try pinning on me, ain't you? We'll all get along better if you'll take that chip off your shoulder, Bowman. I ain't got a chip on my shoulder. I just don't like to be pushed around. I keep telling you, I hardly know Lucy. Rigg. There's a suit hanging over here. Is it yours? Yeah. You wear it last night? Sure. It's the only suit I got. Did you know there was blood on the edge of the sleeve? What? He's had rabbit blood too, Bowman. What? How'd I know? Blood's blood, ain't it? Not after it gets to our lab. They can tell in a hurry if it's animal or human blood. I want to take this suit in the backseat of your car along. Sure, take them. Frame me right down the line. I bet you if I wasn't a cowhand had a lot of money, you wouldn't treat me this way. Now you look, Just for you, Sheriff Bowman, I'm gonna lay the cards right on the table. Lucy Regan's disappeared. From information we have, I'd say it's a good bet she's dead. I Didn't kill her. Maybe not, but you were with her last night. Car like yours was seen at the place where we think Lucy was shot. And there's blood in your car and on your suit. Mind you. Now, look, I know all this looks bad, but I didn't kill Lucy. I didn't kill her. What I have to do to prove it to you? I know a good way to begin. Well, how? We've got a machine at Austin called a polygraph, better known as a lie detector. We can't force you to take the test, but if you do, it could help to put you in the clear. Well, I'm not afraid of your lie detector. I'm telling the truth. You want me to take this test? I'd sure like you to. Well, all right. Just wait till I tell the boss. I have to go to Austin and I'm ready for any test you want to give me. Now, when I start the machine again, I'm gonna ask you some more questions. You just answer yes or no, all right? You live near Cambridge, Texas? Yeah. You know Lucy Regan? Yeah. Did you eat breakfast this morning? Yeah. You own a black four door sedan? Yeah. Did you shoot Lucy Reagan? No. Did you come to Austin in the plane? Yeah. Were you out at Brant Lake last night? No. You know who shot Lucy Riggins? No. All right, I think that'll be all. What's it say? Well, you have to ask the Ranger about that. If he wants to tell you, it's up to him. I got a right to know what it says. Come on, let's go in the next room. I don't see why you won't tell me what it says. It's my test in it. I got a right to know it all through. All through. He won't tell me what it says, Ranger. You'll know soon enough. Sheriff, take Bowman into that office across the hall. I'll be along in a minute. Sure. Come on, Bowman. Now, look, you said I didn't have to take this test. Now you won't tell me. How about it? Well, I asked him all the questions. Look at the graph. Now, here's where I asked him if he shot Lucy Regan. And here if he was out the leak last night. Don't know what you got on him, Jase, but according to this, that boy's lying. In just a moment, we will continue with Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel McCrae as Ranger Jace Pearson. An investment in boys is an investment in America's future. The confident, trained and respected citizen of tomorrow is the restless, untrained and eager youth of today. By pointing his footsteps in the right direction and guiding him along the straight road of healthy living. By wholeheartedly sponsoring and supporting Boys Clubs, we can build good citizens with strong healthy bodies. Boys who are honest and have a respect for property and individual rights. And we can gradually erase the social stigma of juvenile delinquency. Boys Clubs are sponsored in each community by non sectarian, non profit organizations of public spirited adults who operate the clubs for the benefit of the boy members. Actually, the need today is for more Boys Clubs. Let's all pitch in and help build the citizens of tomorrow. Let's provide recreation and companionship. Let's sow our seeds on good ground. Give them root so that they spring and grow up to full maturity. And now back to the Texas Rangers. We continue now with tales of the Texas Rangers and our authentic story. UNCERTAIN Death we kept Ken Bowman at headquarters while the lab tested his suit and the back seat of his car. A little after 4 that afternoon, the lab called and said the blood on both the upholstery and the sleeve of his suit was human blood. Bowman hardly batted an eye when we told him the news. There's one thing for sure. You were somebody else ashore trying to frame me. You know better than that. What about the lie detector, Bowman? That shows you weren't telling the truth. Oh, it's a lot of hogwash. You sure can't make me believe that thing. Never misses. There was human blood in your car and on your sleeve. Where'd it come from? How'd I know? Maybe I cut myself. You sure it wasn't Lucy's blood? You sure you didn't shoot her? Keep on asking that, Ranger. And I keep telling you I wasn't the only one who went out with her. Now I want to go back to Cambridge as soon as the pilot calls and says the plane's ready. You had no right bringing me here in the first place. You didn't have to come along. I told you that. And while we're waiting, suppose you answer a few more questions. But I told you everything I know. How many times you going to make? Probably the pilot. You want me to get it? Jason, why'd you lie to us about the blood in your car? I didn't lie. Why do you keep on asking? It was human blood. How'd it get there? You got no one else to pick on. That's why you keep asking me questions. That was a lab, Jace. What'd they say? Said they found different kinds of dust and soil particles in Bowman's suit. They'll do a detailed analysis if you want it. That depends on you, Bowman. What do you mean? Why does it depend on me? Because we think you buried Lucy Regan's body somewhere. And when you did, you got soil particles on your clothes, huh? What can you prove from there? Think it lead us to where Lucy's body's buried. Oh? How? The lab has samples of soil from every part of Texas. Thousands of samples. They'll compare them with the particles found in your suit. May take time, but we're not gonna stop until we find that body. Now, how about it, Bowman? All right, I'll save you the trouble. I killed her. I shot her last night. Where was this? At the lake. We had a fight. She was running away. I shot her. Then I put a body in the car. Where'd you bury her? I didn't bury her. I drove down to the Lake Narrows. You know, Sherwood Bridges. I waited to bite it down with rocks and threw off the bridge. Can you show us where it is? Yeah, I can show you. Sheriff, will you go across the hall and tell them we want two witnesses? We're ready to take down Ken Bowman's confession. Bowman repeated in front of two witnesses and a stenographer what he'd already told us. I requested headquarters to supply us with a diver to help locate Lucy Regan's body in the lake. We returned to Cambridge, arriving after midnight. By five the next morning, we'd set up a diving raft. At daylight, the diver was lowered into the water at the spot Bowman indicated. I stayed on the raft with a telephone. What's taking him so long? Why can't he find it? How about it, Joe? See anything? Nothing here, Jace. I'm out as far as I can go. You sure this is a place you threw the body, Bowman? Of course I'm sure. What do you say, Jace? Hold it a second, Joe. Bowman, where'd you get the rocks to wade down the body? I was reckoning with some over there. You carried them all the way over here? I don't know, Ranger. Was dark, maybe. Yeah, that's right. I remember. I was down the other end of the bridge. Stand by to come up, Joe. We're going to try another spot. I've covered the whole area, Chase. Not a thing. Hold on, Bowman. We've been looking around this bridge for seven hours. Are you sure you put Lucy's body in the water here? Oh, Ranger, I thought I did. I. I don't know. Wait a minute. There's another bridge a mile further down. Maybe you made a mistake. Maybe that's the one you meant. Yeah. Yeah, maybe it is. Be dark soon, Jace. Looks like we'll have to give it up for today. Yeah, but it must be here. Ranger. I remember everything now. Yes I do. I was right on the corner of that bridge right up there. Can you hear me, Jace? Go ahead. Nothing in this area. If we're going on we'll have to get some lights. Stand by to come up, Joe. That's all for today, Sheriff. Put Bowman in the boat. We're going back to the car. How long can that diver stay with us, Jace? As long as we need him. I'll call headquarters and say we want him for at least tomorrow. I sure hope we find that body. Yeah. Sheriff, you've got to find Lucy's body to keep me in jail, don't you? We'll find it tomorrow or the next day. We're going to keep looking till we do find it. Ah, well, it's too bad you have to look for it without me, ain't it? What? Tomorrow you'll be looking for Lucy's body and I'm going back to the ranch. Are you crazy? No, no, but you are. If you try to hold me. You're not forgetting you signed a confession, are you Bowman? Confession? What confession? Now look here. You signed a confession in front of two witnesses that you killed Lucy Reed. Well sure I did. Because you made me. You made me say I killed Lucy, but I didn't kill her. You're going back on your confession, is that what you're trying to say? Bowman? Wait a minute. I heard this boy with bone ears. He said he shot Lucy Regan and threw of a bunch body in the lake. Did I? What body? There never was a body. I don't even know what you're talking about. I put Bowman back in his cell. Good. We let him stay there tonight anyhow. And he don't want to stay there at all. He started hunting like a coyote when I told him. Now we were holding him for obstructing justice. Some wild goose chase he led us on today. How about that? First he says he did kill her, let us look for the body. Knows it ain't where we're looking, then says he didn't kill her. We gonna let him get away with that? Not if I can help it. I've gotta find Lucy Regan's body. Yeah. If we don't, that confession of his ain't worth a thing. Why do you figure he did it? Somehow I feel he's stolen for time. He must have some reason for Wanting us to go off on a false lead. But why? I just don't get it. It's gotta be something he did with the body. Something that made him feel he'd be safe after a couple of days time and it beats me. Wait a minute. You remember when it was he confessed? Well, it was just after I took that call from the lab. Yeah, before that. Nothing phased him. The lie detector, the blood didn't even bother him. But as soon as I started talking about soil particles, he folded up. What's that sound like to you, Sheriff? Could be he didn't want the lab to go any further with that analysis. Uh huh. It's up to us to find out why. I'm gonna call Austin, have him analyze every grain of soil they found in that boy's suit. I phoned the lab. They said they'd analyze the soil particles and give us an answer as quickly as possible. We waited the whole night. At seven the next morning, we went across the street to a restaurant to get some breakfast. We left word to have the call transferred there. Ten minutes later it came through. I spoke to the lab technician, then walked back to the table where the sheriff was sitting. Anything interesting? J Maybe. Is any granite around here, Sheriff? Nearest deposits. Marble Falls, couple of hundred miles away. Why? Lab found granite dust in the weave of Bowman's coat and some on the inside lining. Well, they do use granite for some of the construction work around here. Uh huh. Like that road they're building out there near the ranch where Bowman works. Yeah, they use crushed granite gravel on the road bed. That could be how Bowman got it on his suit. Wait a minute though. Why did he wear his good suit around a construction job? He wouldn't. Unless he had some special reason for being there. Why? Don't Folly. We know Bowman's been in a spot where he could watch the progress of that road for weeks. We also know there was some reason why he stalled us for a couple of days. Geez, you think he buried that girl's body in the roadbed? That's the only thing that makes sense so far. But why would he dig up the gravel? Be much easier to bury her in the part of the road where they hadn't put gravel yet. That's just what I think. He did pick the section of the road that was about to be graveled and started his digging. Then he could have left that coat of his on a pile of gravel nearby while he was working. More than likely. So that's why he was stoned. Figured we'd never find A body. Once that section was paved, who's in charge of that construction job? Sheriff? Field engineer. Come on, let's go find him. When we spoke to the field engineer out at the job, we got our first break. He told us that since Wednesday night, when Lucy Regan had disappeared, a mile of road had been graveled. But a machinery breakdown late Thursday had prevented that section from being paved. He also informed us that a man answering Bowman's description had approached him early Thursday morning and asked a number of questions about the paving schedule. We were fairly sure now that we were on the right track, we had to know the exact location of the body, and only Bowman had that answer. Our problem was to get him to talk. We worked out a plan and then drove back to town. When we picked up Bowman, he thought we were taking him home and said nothing until we moved onto the stretch of newly paved highway. This ain't the way to the ranch house. Nobody said it was. I thought you'd take me home. Where you taking me? You'll find out. This is a new highway. Ain't finished yet. It don't lead nowhere. It could lead further than you think. What are you talking about, Ranger? Look, I won't get out. Stop the call in there. In a minute, Bowman. We're almost to the end of the paved section. Ben, you're crazy. Goes further than this. You can see those men up there, Bowman. Pavement don't go no further than that. But that's just where they were Thursday morning. Uh huh. They had a machinery breakdown. Haven't been able to do any more paving till now. What's the matter, Bowman? I won't get out of here. I want to get out of here. You're getting out. Come on. Where you taking me? Just over here in the beginning of the gravel section. Part you thought would already be paved. What are you talking about? Look at it, Bowman. A mile of road covered with fresh gravel. And somewhere under that mile of gravel, Lucy Regan is buried. You crazy? You buried her there. We're going to find her body and give her a decent burial. See those men over there, Bowman? They're waiting till we give the word to start digging. If they have to, they'll dig up that whole mile of road. You can save us a lot of trouble by telling us exactly where you buried her. Arrange that. All right, I kill it. I kill her. Show us where you buried her body. I want to marry her. She's the only girl I ever want to marry. I told her how crazy I was about and she laughed at me. She laughed at me. Where's the body, Bowman? Under there. Where? Point out the spot. There's a couple of feet in the stake. I don't want to watch him dig. Take me out of here. Please take me out of here. Range. All right, man, start working by that stake over there. Please take me out of here. I could confess and I confess. You confessed twice. This time we're going to make sure your confession holds up.
