I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kupy Mayo. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kupy only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything.

1:03Eggs sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Kupy, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinati from the Almost Hymnest podcast.

Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. You're a detective sergeant. You're assigned a burglary detail. For the past month, the hot prowl artist has been working the silver lake district in your city. Your job, stop him. The document is a drama of an actual crime. All the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department,

3:08you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday, April 12th. It was sunny in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of burglary detail. My partner's frank Smith, the boss is Captain Bernard. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from the business office and it was 4.31 pm when I got to room 45. Burglary. Been reading about it in the papers. You know, a little idea to be here and there. Not from page stuff that it starts me to think. Yes, sir. Oh, hi, Joe. Hi, Mr. Burglary. This is my partner, Sergeant Friday. I do. How are you, Mr. Burglary? Pretty good. Pretty good. Except for my feet. They're killing me. That's just a little joke amongst us, mailman, Sergeant. Somebody asks us how we feed. We say our dogs are killing us. They don't necessarily the truth, but it's what folks expect to hear so we don't disarm them. Yes, sir. What was it you want to see us about, Mr. Burglary? I would just tell you a partner here, Smith, is it? That's right, sir.

4:11Well, I would just tell Mr. Smith by mail routes out in the Silver Lake District. Uh-huh. You know where they've been having them, Burglary lately? Yes, sir. Sure as a shame. Nice part of town, quiet, residential, nice people too. Been delivering their mail for the past 12 years, is that right? Getting no folks pretty well at length at time. Are you taking Mrs. Davenport, lived in the 700 block on St. George's, please? Yes, sir. When did I give her a mail, Sergeant Friday? I could tell something was wrong. She didn't even glance at her postcards. That was the tip off. Yes, sir. Told me somebody had sneaked into her house that morning, stole $20 in cash from their diamond engagement ring, said she'd left it on the sink when she started doing the breakfast dishes. Wredded in the other room to answer the phone. That must have been when she would rob. You already heard about Mrs. Davenport being robbed, have you? Yes, sir. We talked to her last week. Oh, you're the fellas come to see her about it? That's right. You haven't you looked yet? How's that? Catching a fellow that robbed her. No, sir, not so far. Well, I don't know whether this will help you out or not, but I thought all to tell you about it, about what, Mr. Richard?

5:12I don't happen twice to my knowledge. Twice in the last two weeks. Once just this morning. That's why I come down here so they got off work. It was Mrs. Perkins on South Mulquan that happened to it today. Said she walked onto the recitchen and there he was, biggest life. Stranger, complete stranger. She asked him what he was doing there. He said he was from the light company. Come to repair her electric stove. Thing is, Mrs. Perkins don't happen electric stove. Felt a apologize. Said he got in the wrong house, time and state. Mrs. Perkins didn't think nothing about it. Just happened to mention it when I come by with a mail. I didn't think nothing about it either. Not at first. Yes, sir. Then I remembered same thing happened to Mr. Johnstone over on Scott Street. Week you ten days ago. Found a man from the light company standing in her kitchen. She hadn't sent for him either. He said they'd given the wrong address. Now, it just don't stand a reason the light company would be sending people to the wrong address at all the time. No, sir, it doesn't. Got to think about them, burglaries. Mr. Davenport and the ones I read about in the papers.

6:12Wondered if there wasn't some connection. Well, I'm like me. The way a hot-prowl artist works. Hot-prowl? Daytime burger. Operates when the victim is up to be in the house. Oh. Would you give us our addresses, Mr. Bercher? Huh? The two ladies you were telling us about. You mean the found the fellow from the light company in the kitchen? Yes. Mrs. Perkins, she lives on South Moulton, number 201. Mrs. Waldo Perkins, that's your full name. 201. And the other lady? John Stone. Mrs. Nelly John Stone, she's a widow lady. Her address is 1247 Scott Street, corner Scott and Brandon. Thank you. Would you mind showing us just what your mail route covers, Mr. Bercher? Huh? On the map over here. Would you come over here? Oh, sure. Sure. Here we are. Starts here. Mm-hmm. Down this street like so, then or here. This whole section. The street here, down here. Mm-hmm. This is where I end up. Nice. Mm-hmm. That's the right area, all right? Yeah. Anything else I can do for you?

7:14No, sir, I don't believe so. We appreciate your coming in. Figured out how they helped you if it could. Seeing as how we both work for the same boss. How's that? The taxpayer. We checked with the utility companies, and they told us that they had made no recent repair calls in the vicinity of the addresses that Mr. Bercher had given us. 5.46 p.m., Frank and I drove out the 201 South Maltman. There was a one-story stucco bungalow set behind a white fake defense. Well, it's about time you wear the flowers. Ma'am. Aren't you from McAdams' flower shop? No, ma'am. We're from... They promised me they'd have them here by five promised faithfully. You just can't depend on anybody. Well, what is it? We're police officers, ma'am. Police? His Frank Smith, my name's Friday. Oh, for heaven's sake. You miss Perkins? Yes, of course. Who do you think I was? We'd like to talk to you for a minute. Oh, what on earth about... Please, I'm in an awful hurry. I've got 16 people coming for dinner. Mr. Couple of questions, please. It won't take us long. Oh, all right. All right. I suppose you might as well come in. Thank you.

8:17It isn't about Waldo. Ma'am. My husband. It isn't about him, is it? No, on top of everything else. No, ma'am. I don't know whether I'm coming or going. I'm just not up to a big dinner part anymore. I shouldn't have tried. Yes, ma'am. We understand you had a visitor this morning, Ms. Perkins. Visitor? A man who said he'd come to fix your stove? Oh, yes. Now, how on earth do... Oh, that mail, ma'am. I ought to know better than to tell him anything. He spreads it all over town. Yes, ma'am. You hadn't sent for him like Trish and had you? Oh, certainly not. If anything was wrong with my stove, I'd send it to the gas company. It's a gas range. What could you describe me for us, please? Describe it? That's right. I don't know what you mean. Well, what do you look like? Was he tall or short? Well, hardly even looked at him. It was just an ordinary man. I see. How old would you say it was? He's kind of foolish. We aren't sure yet, ma'am. Do you have any idea of his age? Oh, youngish, I guess. About 30. How was he dressed? I'm afraid I don't remember. Did he have any uniform of any kind? No, no uniform. Suit, I think. I didn't pay much attention. No scars, anything like that.

9:17Not that I noticed, my hair. What do you say to you? Just that he made a mistake that he was in the wrong house. That's all. Do you have any kind of an accent? No. It sounded like a plane every day American to me. I see. Do you think you'd recognize him if you saw him again? Oh, I don't think so. If it had been some other day when I wasn't so busy, when I didn't have so much on my mind. No, miss ma'am. But did you notice where he went when he left here? Out the back door. Did he drive away? I really haven't any idea. If you're so interested in the poor man, you better talk to Margot. Margot? Mrs. Somersby, my next door neighbor. She was doing some gardening this morning. I see. I suppose she saw him too. There's much that gets by Margot. She's a little on the nosey side, if you know what I mean. Yes, ma'am. Which house is hers? Not from there. I see. No, I just got to get back to my dinner. I haven't even started the salad yet. I just want one more thing, Miss Perkins. Well, what is it now? Is anything missing from around the house? Missing? Yes, ma'am. Money or anything of value? Well, no. No, of course not. You sure are you? What on earth are you driving at? A man makes a perfectly honest mistake. Next thing I know, the police are bothering me. You think he was a criminal or something?

10:18I'm sorry. We troubled you, Miss Perkins. I just don't understand. If people come here all the time, day in and day out, some of them have the right address, some of them have the wrong ones. Then half my life answering the doorbell. Yes, ma'am. What's so special about this fellow? He didn't ring your doorbell. We left Miss Perkins and went over to talk to her next door and neighbor, Mrs. Summersby. Mrs. Summersby told us that she'd spent most of the morning in her garden transplanting begonias. She also said that she remembered seeing a stranger at her Mrs. Perkins' house about 10.30 a.m. I don't think he noticed me. I was down on my hands and knees behind the hedge. Mm-hmm. Remember thinking it was kind of odd the way he just walked in. Then I decided it was probably somebody about the party she's given tonight. Delivery man, somebody like that. Yes, ma'am. Did you see him leave? A couple of minutes later, he came back and out, headed out toward the front of the house. Do you have a car? My suppose so. You aren't sure. No, I just assumed he did if he was a delivery man. Mm-hmm. Could you describe him for us, Mrs. Summersby? Doesn't Mrs. Perkins know who he was?

11:20Well, she isn't sure. Well, she must know what he looked like. Well, we'd like to check your description against hers if it's all right. I suppose she was a bit vague. Mm-hmm. That's probably she doesn't have a very sharp eye. I can't see her nose in front of her face. Is that so? And the way she's been carrying on about this dinner party, well, it's a wonder to me she even remembered the man. Yes, ma'am. You think if she could entertain 16 people, two more wouldn't be any extra trouble. How's that? All her talk about just having friends of her sisters, that's who the party's for. Her sister from Cleveland. They're out here on a visit. Excuse, that's what it is. To get out of Invite and Rex and me. Well, she won't need excuses in the future. Our relationship will be on a somewhat different basis. Yes, ma'am. Now if you just tell us about the man you saw this morning. Oh, him. Yes, ma'am. Well, he was good-sized tall as you are, maybe. Little heavier. Late 20s or early 30s, I'd put him. Dark hair. I needed a haircut. It's nice looking.

12:21Not real handsome or anything like that, but good looking. Do you remember how he was dressed? Cool, and pants. Don't think they matched. Not too sporty, though. I see. Walked real fast, brisk, like he was in a big hurry. Yes, ma'am. Anything else? No. No, I can't think of anything. Has he been around this neighborhood before? No stranger to me. Would you recognize him if you saw him again? Don't see why not. Excuse me. Surely. Hello? Yes? Oh. That's too bad. Oh. Well, I don't know. Oh. Well, I suppose you do, but... Oh. I say. All right. Bye.

13:25Hmm. Mrs. Perkins. Is that right? Says the barrington's can't come. Mr. Barrington's got virus. What's me and Rex to fill in at the last minute? Well, if you're all through, Sergeant. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. I better start getting ready. We told Mrs. Somersby to get in. Tuck one else who might have seen the suspect. We were unable to turn up another witness. 806 PM. We drove over to Scot Avenue and interviewed Mrs. Nelly Johnstone. Mrs. Johnstone stated that on Monday of the previous week, her description of the suspect mattered with what we already had. The next day, April 13th, we checked the description in the MO with the stables. We took the names to R&I and pulled their packages. To LV8 PM, we went back to the office. What do you think, Joe? Hmm. Yeah. We better try for an identification. Who do you want to start with? It doesn't matter. Miss Perkins again. Nope.

14:27I see. Right? Thank you. This is Rick Burgess from the Rick Burgess Show. I want to talk to you for a second about something most of us put on autopilot, car insurance. If you're just letting your policy auto-renue year after year without shopping around, I'm telling you, you are probably throwing money away. Race change all the time and staying loyal to one company can end up costing you big time. That's why you need to go check out in Sureify. I went to Ensureify.com to test it out myself and I was blown away by how easy it is.

You know when people try new food and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this Mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Eggs sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

16:28This is Ashley Akineti from the Almost Amused Podcast. You ever notice you and your spouse keep saying, we need to get away, but you never actually plan anything. That was us until we did something fun and spontaneous. We went to resort pass.com. There are hundreds of hotel resorts, pools and spots and private beaches that you can enjoy.

17:29Looks like we won't need Ms. Perkins. They just brought a lady into the Georgia street to live out in the silver like district. Yeah. Find a man going through a person in the bedroom, try to stop him from getting away. Mm-hmm. He's slugged here. We drove over to the Georgia street receiving hospital and talked to Dr. Sebastian and told us that a Mrs. Violet castle had been brought in for treatment. He said she had a bad bruise on her face and a slight concussion. He also said she hadn't lost consciousness and was able to talk to us. As castle? Yes. Police officers, ma'am. Okay. We'd like you to tell us what happened if you would. Well, I told the others when they come to get me. Yes, ma'am. We'd like to hear it from you. Well, he was just sat in there by the dresser.

18:30I couldn't imagine where he'd come from. Uh-huh. I didn't say anything for a minute. I was too surprised. He didn't seem to know I was in the room. His back was towards me. What was he doing? I couldn't tell. I'm not at the first. And then I heard a little snap. You know, just a click. I realized he was opening my purse. Yes, ma'am. Started fumbling at the things inside. I must have moved or something. Anyway, he looked up, saw me in the mirror. The eyes opened up real wide like it was scared. I remember thinking he's more scared than I am. Did he say anything? No, sir, not a word. I did all the talking. Told him to put down the purse. Put it down, I said. Tried to sound real sure of myself. I'm what I've never. Drop the pocketbook. Turn around and told me. I don't think he had a gun or anything. If he did, I didn't see it. He just started running toward the door. I moved over so as I'd been in his way. What do you think you're going, I said? He did that, sir. He just pushed past me. I grabbed at his arm and that's when he hit me.

19:31Here, where the bandage is. I'm sorry. I must have struck the chair when I fell. The doctor tells me I'm going to have a real bump. Guess everybody will be staying in the violet castle. Sure, got the swell, that's him. That's insane, though. I thought for a minute I was going to, but I didn't. I heard him run out of the house like I heard a wild horses way punged out there. Managed to get to my feet, made it to the telephone in the hall, called the police. They sent an ambulance for me. Got there real quick. First time I ever rode an ambulance. I had my share of sickness. I've been in hospitals and all that, but I never had an ambulance ride before. Siren too. Siren going all the way down here. Now I thought I must be pretty bad off. They had to use a siren like that, but the doctor says it's usual. Who told me I'd be up and around again in a few days, be more self-except for my lump. Be a wild for a lump like that goes away. You think you can identify the man who hits you, Mrs. Castle? Identifying? Well, yes, if we showed you some pictures, could you pick him out? Right now?

20:31Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid not. But it isn't that I wouldn't know any understand him or his picture. I'm not likely to forget that face. Well, too dark in here for me to look at any pictures. Way too dark. Doctors said they had to leave the blinds down. The time being told me not to turn the light on. I understand. I'm sorry. I can't be more help but the doctor left strict orders. Yes, ma'am. I'll check on it, Joe. I always leave him follow him. Doctors ordered. Yes, ma'am. You know, you're spaying a doctor unless you do what he tells you. Some husband always used to put it. Mm-hmm. Of course I'm not fan anything here. Emma, that's what they told me. Yes, ma'am. I explained I wasn't a charity case. Got some health and accident insurance. I guess you'd call this accident, wouldn't you? Well, I'm not sure. I imagine so. Doctors, the bad thing says we are right turn the lights on for a few minutes, Joe. Okay. You sure it's all right? Yes, ma'am. It's all right. He was so positive before I keep it dark in here. Well, a couple of minutes probably will make any difference Miss Castle. Well, the doctor says so.

21:33Yes, ma'am. Ooh, you're seeing bright, don't it? Yes, ma'am. You just look through these photos. Yeah. I'll do my best. Sure is funny. How's that? You get music, Blake, and having pictures already to show me? Well, we don't know that we've got his picture here. Well, that's what's so funny. Ma'am. This is him, right here. Mrs. Castle positively identified one of the mug shots we had shown her. Ralph Foster Maple. Maple had done time for burglary. The three ladies we had previously interviewed also identified the suspect's picture. 3.16 p.m. We went back to the office. The crime lab reported that there were no fingerprints or other physical evidence at Mrs. Castle's home. Frank and I checked the phone books and city directories for Maple's address. There was no listing. We ran DMV for a car registration. They had nothing under his name, but they told us that a Mrs. Ralph F. Maple at 317 Himbers Street was the registered owner of a late model in the Amsterdam. 448 p.m.

22:34We drove out to interview Mrs. Maple. Yes? Mrs. Maple? Yes. Your husband in? My husband? Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid you've made a mistake. No. I'm not married. Not anymore. Boy, say, do you worry, married, or Ralph Maple? Yes. Her police officer's. Oh. Miss Frank Smith, my name's Friday. What's he done now? We'd like to get in touch with him. That's all you might if we come in. Give me a minute to send my daughter over to the neighbors. I'd rather she didn't hear this. We'll have to come in. Oh, all right. Over here. Yes, ma'am. Go out and play. Will you, honey? What is it this time, Bergeri again? We're just trying to reach him, Miss Maple. Do you know where he lives? No. Is he still in Los Angeles? I suppose so. He was here a couple of weeks ago. Came by to see Joanne. She's our daughter. I should have known he was up to something. Ma'am. Brought his presence, expensive presence. Said he had a new job.

23:34I didn't really believe him, but I tried to for Joanne's sake. Did he say what this job was? Selling. Didn't mention the firm. I suppose he couldn't be a good salesman if he'd try. Do you have a car? Told me it was in the shop being repaired. Came up in a taxi cab. Yes, please. It's a great one for Taxi's Ralphies. Big chipper too. Somebody else's money. I'm sorry. I guess I sound a little bitter, don't I? What was my own doing? I knew he was wild when I married him. I thought he'd change. He did. He got worse. How long you been divorced? Little over two years now. Well, I waited till I got out of prison. I thought that was my duty. Have a home ready for him to come back to. Yes, ma'am. Wouldn't hold down a job to even try. Well, we'd managed without him while he was in San Quentin. I knew we could do it again. He's supposed to support Joanne. I haven't seen a penny in six months. I'm always brings her a present though. That's his way of trying to get him a good side. You know any of his friends who might help us locate him?

24:36His friends aren't my friends, Sergeant. Yes, ma'am. But you won't have any trouble finding him. Ma'am. He'll be here tomorrow. Oh. It's Joanne's birthday. He'll bring her something. He'll be here. I suppose he does love her. In his way, maybe he loves me too. Mm-hmm. Maybe I love him. I was even thinking about us getting back together. If it was true about his new selling job, I guess you never learned, do you? You're sure he'll be here tomorrow. He won't miss Joanne's birthday. Ralph's a very thoughtful father, not the kind of man who forgets birthdays in anniversaries. I see. Might forget to pay his bills, but that's different. That's not. It'll be quite a birthday present for Joanne, won't it? That's it. Her father getting arrested again. The next day, Thursday, April 14, we staked out Mrs. Maple's house.

25:36335 PM, a taxi cab pulled up, and Ralph Maple got out. He was carrying a large package. Give the change. Thanks, Rick. Ralph Maple? Mm-hmm. Police officers just stand still. What's going on? He's light, Jenna. All right, let's go. No, wait a minute. Can't you tell me what this is all about? We'll let you tell us downtown. Well, you can't arrest a man without some reason. Where were you yesterday? What time? Let's start with the morning. Got up, had breakfast, went shopping. Where? Department stores had a buy present for my daughter. This is it right here. I take you all morning, did it? Yeah, most of it. All right, come on, get him a turn. Well, if you just tell me what it is, you want to know. We want to know about a lady who was in the hospital. Lady? Yeah. Somebody slugged her yesterday. Do you think it was me? She does. Let's find out if she's right. Come on, then. OK, she's right. All right, let's go. I didn't mean to hit her very hard. It was hard enough. Just wanted to get her out of my way. All right.

26:37Get in. Yeah. Hey, wait a minute, huh? What about this? What about what? My little girl's present, it's her birthday. No. What can I give it to her? You stay where you are. What about one of you guys you could take up to the door? It's not hard you can see for yourself to start a rap, did you? Yeah. I paid for it myself with whose money? At least you can do it to see that she gets it. Joe? I'm going ahead. Hey, yeah. You all right, bye. Sure, appreciate it. She's just a little girl, six today. I wouldn't understand if there wasn't a present from Daddy. Yeah. I never missed a birthday, even when I was in the joint. I saw it to it that she got something. Yeah. Life divorced me a couple years back, I guess I can't blame her. Not for divorced me, I had it come. And she shouldn't have got so custody though. Girl needs a father. Everybody talks about how boys need their old man. The way I see it, a girl needs a more. It's so sure. You know, this will kind of help us. I was on it kind of her, Joanne. That's the only reason I'd done it.

27:38Little girls entitled her pretty things. I couldn't afford her not with the kind of dough that I made. I had to get the money somewhere. I never stole much just enough to buy her a few presents. Figured if I didn't, she'd turn against me. Being divorced and all I figured I had to do more than regular fathers. Yeah. I shouldn't have given Doros so custody, wasn't fair. She'd just become around and visit whenever I want, but it's sort of like saying, Joanne doesn't belong to me anymore. Judge claimed I wasn't a fit father. How do you like that? Just because a man does a little time, everybody has it in for him afterward. Yeah. The idea is say I'm not a fit father. You know something, people? You proved him right. The story you have just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On August 6, trial was held in Department 98, Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial. Ralph Foster Maple was tried and convicted of burglary in the first degree.

28:55A salt with intent to do great bodily harm and receive sentence as prescribed by law. Burglary in the first degree is punishable by imprisonment for a period of not less than five years. A salt with intent to do great bodily harm is punishable by imprisonment for not more than five years in the state penitentiary.
