## Resource

CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents “Yesterday’s Murder,” originally broadcast June 27, 1974, as episode 111. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, this first-season drama was written by Sam Dann and directed by Himan Brown, with Mercedes McCambridge and Patricia Wheel featured in the cast. Unhappy with the path her life has taken, Dottie Molloy answers an unusual offer promising a chance to change it. The opportunity leads her back to a pivotal moment 21 years earlier, involving stolen money, an office safe, and a choice whose consequences have never truly faded. CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
