301A to car 5W, code one.
5W to 301A, go ahead, Johnny.
We're chasing the wind, Ben.
Maybe the guy who sent in that report
drank his breakfast. Let's call it.
Wait a minute.
lt's a kid, all right.
Maybe 50 yards off the road.
l'll keep circling her until you pick her up.
-10-10.
-10-10.
Hey!
Hey, honey!
Hey, little girl. Little girl!
Wait a minute.
What are you doing out here?
Honey.. .
...what's your name?
Who do you belong to?
Car 5W, code one.
Car 5W to 301A, go ahead.
10-9, Johnny.
There's a trailer three miles from you,
off to the side of the road.
l didn't see anybody around it,
you better check it out. 10-10.
Okay, Johnny. 10-10.
-What's the matter with her?
-l don't know.
Sunstroke?
She's not sunburned.
Couldn't have been out in the sun long.
Looks like she's in shock.
Johnny spotted a car and trailer up ahead.
Maybe she's from there.
Maybe so.
No use waking her up unless somebody
can identify her. l'll check it.
-What is it?
-Have a look.
This blood must be 10 or 12 hours old.
Whatever happened here was either
last night or early this morning.
Check outside.
lt was sure no traffic accident, was it?
This wasn't caved in. lt was caved out.
Did you find anything?
No footprints or tire marks.
Found this.
l picked up just one.
Six or seven more are scattered over there.
-Sugar.
-Yeah.
There's something over here
you should look at.
l don't know if it's important,
but see what you think.
Mountain lions never come down
to the desert.
No cat ever lived
would leave a print like that.
Maybe something was set down there.
A bag, or a can, something like that.
Put in a call for fingerprint
and moulage equipment, right away.
Right.
-Have the medics come to pick up the kid.
-Right.
Car 5W to KMA-628. Come in, please.
KMA-628, to car 5W, go ahead.
We're 12 miles north of the crossroads.
Halfway up the secondary road
to White Butte.
Station wagon and house trailer
They look pretty well beat up.
Looks like a 9-14.
Picked up a little girl
who seems to be in shock.
Send ambulance and medics.
We'll stay here till you arrive.
Anything else?
Ben?
10-10.
KMA-628 to 5W,
location previously reported by 301A...
...will dispatch ambulance.
Hi, Reggie, how are the kids?
-Fine, thanks. Another one on the way.
-Good for you.
-Do you know what happened to her?
-No.
-Don't know her name?
-No.
Take good care of her.
Give her a nice, easy ride.
l'll be with her all the way to the hospital.
What was that?
l don't know.
lt must be the wind.
lt gets pretty freakish in these parts.
Yeah.
l'll be along soon.
l want to be there when she starts talking.
You know what that is, Cliff?
l haven't the faintest idea.
Hurry before the wind fills it in.
Looks like a sandstorm is kicking up.
-You got any idea what happened?
-No.
Nothing that adds up.
How old you figure that kid is?
Five or six.
Tough break for her.
They don't need us right now.
Let's go down to Gramps Johnson's store
and see what he knows.
Gramps?
Gramps!
Beats me.
Look, Ed, put in a call.. ..
Wait a minute.
Gramps.
Looks like he was dragged
and thrown down there.
-What do you make of it?
-What did you make of the trailer?
This wasn't pushed in, it was pulled out.
Just like at the trailer.
Ben, have a look at this.
Sugar.
Money wasn't taken here either.
This is another 9-14.
l'll call for the guys at the trailer to come.
l want to be at headquarters
when the girl talks.
l'll stick around and ride with them.
-Okay. Stay loose.
-Sure.
With all this stuff, we only know
the car and trailer was owned by.. .
...a man named Alan Elinson from Chicago.
Yeah, that's all.
Stop blaming yourself for what happened
to Ed Blackburn. lt wasn't your fault.
Somebody had to stay at Johnson's place,
so it happened to be Ed.
Yeah, l know.
We'll find out who killed him, if he's dead,
along with Gramps and the Elinson family.
So come off it.
We'll get a report on the fingerprints
some time this morning. lt'll tell us more.
-Have you figured out what this print is?
-No.
Great.
Kit, run down all Gramps' personal stuff
and records.
l don't think he had an enemy in the world,
No, wait, that doesn't make sense.
lf somebody wanted to knock off Gramps
why tear down half the building to do it?
l put in a call to check out
all the mental institutions.
Everything seems to indicate
a homicidal maniac.
There's no money stolen, violent wreckage.
Just sugar taken.
That's being checked,
but it's a waste of time, too.
We'd have been notified
if there was a loony killer on the loose.
Gramps got off four shots from his 30-30
before the killer did this to the gun.
And Blackburn was a crack shot.
He could hit anything he could see.
Unless your maniac was armored like
a battleship, there's no maniac in this case.
Yeah, you're right.
l want every available man scouting
the desert.
lf our two planes aren't enough
to cover areas the cars can't reach.. .
...I 'll ask permission from the chief
to hire a couple more.
Ben, get yourself something to eat
and grab some sleep.
l don't want you wearing yourself out
so you'll fold up on us.
-l have a little score to settle.
-We all have.
-Report from Washington, Captain.
-All right, thanks.
Fingerprints on the trailer
check out real good.
Mr. Elinson was an FBl agent on vacation
with his wife and two children.
Call the local FBl office.
They've got a stake in this case, now.
Tell them Mr. Elinson's vacation
has been extended indefinitely.
lt's nice to get off that desert.
-lt must have been 1 10 out there today.
-At least.
Captain Edwards.. .
...this is Robert Graham from the FBl office
in Alamogordo.
-How do you do?
-Sit down.
Ben here bring you up to date
on this business?
Yes, sir, we went over these exhibits
before we left for the desert.
l took him to where we found the trailer
and to Johnson's store.
We've been there all day. Nothing.
Any ideas, Mr. Graham?
None that make any sense.
l thought you FBl guys were all Quiz Kids.
Solved everything right away.
l did, too, when l applied for the job.
Planes and the cars haven't found anything.
Give them time. People don't just drop off
the face of the Earth without a trace.
We'll find them.
You know what that is?
lt beats me. Has it been identified yet?
No, an officer took it to a friend
who teaches zoology at the college.
He said he'd never seen anything like it.
Lots of evidence, loaded with clues,
but nothing adds up.
The Elinson girl is our only real bet.
Any news on her?
No change. l checked with the hospital
a half hour ago.
l'd like to send this to our Washington
bureau. They might be able to identify it.
Or prove that it's nothing.
lt's all right with me.
Come in.
-Hello, Fred. Glad to see you, Ben.
-Hi, Doc, how are you?
You two know each other?
