About this episode

Originally Aired: October 3, 1946 In Suspense #213, “Three Times Murder,” Rita Hayworth stars as Laura, a woman whose charm hides a calculating will to survive—and profit. When her husband dies from a conveniently faulty electric razor, Laura stands trial and narrowly escapes conviction. She vanishes into a new life, complete with a wealthy chemist husband—until the past resurfaces in the form of Elmer, her original blackmailer and now her brother-in-law. As suspicion, manipulation, and poison swirl through the household, Laura’s final play is as daring as it is deadly. A psychological noir thriller in three acts of deceit, desperation, and revenge. Cast: Rita Hayworth, Hans Conried Tags: Suspense, noir, psychological, RitaHayworth, HansConried, thriller, murdertrial, poison, femmefatale, oldtimeradio, 1940sradio, classicdrama, suspensepodcast, blackmail, revenge, inheritance
