Tonight’s Kinda Murdery is True-Crime-Noir at its most hard-boiled. As always, everything you're about to hear really happened.
John Brunen, a 47-year-old, wealthy circus owner known as, “Honest John,” is murdered in his own home before he even has a chance to draw the pistol he always carries. “Honest John’s" life ended when he was decapitated, shot from behind, his head literally blown off by a double-barrelled shotgun fired through a locked window by a shadowy, light-footed killer. Brunen’s wife Doris, a former broadway chorus girl, is upstairs when she hears the fatal blasts. But the killer didn’t know that Brunen was a close friend of New Jersey super-sleuth Ellis H. Parker. Parker swears vengeance, promising not to rest until the murderer is found. Parker's as good as his word. But promises don't mean much without results. After investigating 600 possible suspects, he can't single clue. Parker's hit a stone wall, and he can't help but wonder why someone removed Brunen's talking parrot from the scene of the murder....What will Ellis H. Parker do next? If you’re ready to find out, please join host Zevon Odelberg for Kinda Murdery’s telling of, "THE DISAPPEARING PARROT!"
