Death In Step-Ins (Aired May 6, 1937)
True Detective Mysteries radio series was based on the “True Detective” magazine. Later it was sponsored by Listerine and Oh Henry Candy, but kept the same name. Each week the show presented the “case history of an actual crime.” Many were told from the criminal’s point of view. True Detective Mysteries were truly audience participation shows - each show provided descriptions of the true-story criminal and encouraged audiences to provide information leading to their capture. Rewards of $500 and later $1000 were offered in return for helpful clues from listeners.
