Calling All Cars - Corpse in the Red Necktie

On December 28th, over the Santa Monica Mountains, huge rain clouds move in from the ocean. Thunder and lightning fill the tangled brush filled ravine that is Latigo Canyon. Then a blinding rain that sends a torrent of water roaring through the mountains. On a small road leading out of the canyon, A Model T Ford Sedan crawls to a stuttering halt. Two men climb out and sink up to their knees in the soft mud. First man says "We've got to hurry. The storm's getting worse" Second man says "Yeah come on. Give me a hand with him. Here, I'll take his leg". First man asks "You going to leave the tie on him?" Second one says "Sure, we can't waste any time. Come on". They take him to the edge of the cliff and throw him over. First one asks "Should we throw the clothes over too? Second one says "We'll get rid of them later, somewhere up the road. Let's get out of here". For two days, the rain continues. Then, on the third day, the storm moves back to sea. High overhead, in the little substation shed of Malibu Canyon, Deputies Ed Chapman and Joe Nestor are preparing to drive to the Santa Monica station when a car slides to a skidding stop in front. A man climbs out and hurries to the door. Nestor says "Looks like we got visitors, Ed". Chapman says "Yeah in a hurry too". The young man runs up to them and asks "Are you the Sheriff?" Chapman says "Well, not exactly the whole Sheriff, but I'm in charge here". Young man says "There's a body up the road. A dead body all right and it hasn't any clothes". Chapman says "There's a body in the road? Where?" Young man says "In Latigo Canyon. I didn't find it. One of the guy's I work with did". Chapman says "We better go out there and take a look, Joe".
