About this episode

Originally Aired: January 5, 1952 When Hartford attorney Glenn English is struck and killed in a supposed hit-and-run, insurance investigator Johnny Dollar suspects foul play. English, a close personal friend of Dollar’s, had phoned him the night before with cryptic remarks about explosive evidence he needed protected. Haunted by their final conversation, Dollar dives deep into Glenn's last hours—uncovering a tangled web of fear, secrecy, and betrayal. The investigation leads him to Bruno Vick, a hunted man carrying a written confession implicating three powerful criminals in a two-year-old murder. As Dollar inches closer to the truth, a fatal street showdown confirms his darkest suspicions. But it’s not until a wounded thug confesses under pressure that justice finally begins to turn. In a gripping tale of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice, Dollar must piece together a murder conspiracy buried beneath layers of intimidation and silence. A chilling and personal case unfolds in this riveting episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Become a supporter of this podcast
