The Man From Homicide / The Mysterious Traveler (Old Time Radio Variety)

Episode 79 of Classic Radio Rewind delivers two classic old‑time radio mysteries from the height of the golden age of radio drama. First, we feature The Man From Homicide with the 1951 episode “The Drowned Girl Case.” Lieutenant Lou Dana investigates the suspicious drowning of a young woman, uncovering clues that suggest murder rather than accident. This vintage radio detective story, originally aired on August 6th, 1951, is a prime example of the show’s gritty crime‑drama style.

The episode continues with The Mysterious Traveler and the chilling 1946 broadcast “Symphony of Death.” This classic radio suspense tale follows a brilliant composer whose obsession with creating a masterpiece pushes him toward madness. First heard on September 8th, 1946, it remains one of the most memorable entries in the long‑running radio thriller anthology.
