A 79 year old veteran of the Spanish American War, left his home in Bakersfield because he didn't like his daughter in laws cooking. That one tickled me.
These temporary amnesia incidents are called fugue states. It’s happened to a friend of mine a couple of times. Can’t remember who he is or where Hee lives. Lasts for a few hours always when he’s out of town and can’t remember how to get home. It sounds like a funny excuse but it’s real.
Mt. Pleasant and Fountain Green are both in Sanpete county in Utah. Interesting fact: Mike Lookinland, who played Bobby on the Brady Bunch, was born in Mt. Pleasant Utah.
This was a very entertaining one, but I just don’t get the blond thing. Did she dye her hair after arriving in LA? Great Christmas story. I’ve been listening to Dragnet and watching the TV shows for years, and these are the earliest shows I’ve come across. P.S. At the end can you believe the connections they had to go through to dial from Los Angeles to Utah? LOL! That’s how it used to be.
Love these old time radio programs.
Loved hearing the phone operators make the connection. "a complete cure was effected." ok. Well.
Blessings to those that are lost and found. And respect to those who are lost but are never found.
Yes , another great show 👍🏼👍🏼. Thank you again for putting them up 😎
The name of the shaving cream is hilarious.

Wow it took a lot to make a long distance phone call. A little different today.

It's amazing that people still function under that condition.
Great story
Temporary amnesia..... hmmm, perhaps most of we Old Time Radio listeners experience the same thing 🤣..... thanks for the post, I think 🤔
I hope I always have about 30 min of temporary amnesia right before i listen to these. 😂😂
I happened to watch Adam 12 the other day and noticed that Jack Webb was the creator of that series.
Adam-12 was a spin-off of Dragnet.
Yep, That was Jack's pet project. I believe "Emergency" was a spinoff of that show.
Every time I go to Los Angeles, it's in July or August. Always hot. Next time, I need to go in December.
Yes, southern Cali especially is stifling hot. Too much for me.

"Missing persons."
1949 - an LAPD Dept.
1979 - a Rock Band.
Good one.

Love To hear your voice mom

At 18:36, why does the coroner ask Joe how his wife’s been?
I got the feeling he was a pretty absentminded coroner.
He said hello to Joe and then he asked Ben (who was married and had kids) how his wife was.
Why didn’t the mother try calling her first before contacting the police?
When they were in her hotel room they saw several unanswered messages, letters and phone call messages from her mother
Jack Webb is A Savage!!!
Why do you hate the police, Wanda?
