My Own Murderer: The Lawyer, the Fugitive, and the Most Dangerous Game

Originally Aired: May 24, 1945 In Suspense #142, “My Own Murderer,” Herbert Marshall stars as Richard Sampson, a reserved solicitor whose world is upended when his old acquaintance Alan Rennick confesses to murder and begs for help. As Richard weaves a clever plan to save Alan—hiding him, faking a death, enlisting two women, and risking his own neck—he finds himself drawn deeper into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and cold-blooded calculation. But not everyone can be trusted, and not every murder stays in the past. A battle of wits ensues, with morphia, double-crosses, and a “suicide” gone wrong, leading to a twist that asks: who is the true murderer, and who is the real victim? A psychological chess match where everyone has something to lose.
