The Abandoned Well Murder Case (Aired August 10, 1951)
This detective mystery series was originally a fifteen-minute program featuring a private detective who traced missing persons and murders. They seemed to have no official position in society and when they were called in to help solve the mystery. "We usually work along with the police, ma'am," would suffice as an explanation of their presence. Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons was one of network radio's longest running detectives, although listening to it now would hardly explain why. This kind, elderly, boring sleuth, in company with his bumbling assistant, Mike Clancy, was on the airwaves from 1937 to 1955, logging nearly 20 years of fighting crime. The series came out of the soap opera fiction factory of Frank and Anne Hummert and encompassed most of the trite dialogue and snail plotting of daytime serials.
