Joe Mannix : Well, uh, my secretary tells me your husband has disappeared.
Marcia Inman : Yes. I don't really know where to begin.
Joe Mannix : Where do you live?
Marcia Inman : We live in Cleveland. My husband's head of Darrel Inman Incorporated. They make optical equipment- Binoculars, telescopes, microscopes, things of that sort. He came out here just over a week ago to inspect the L.A. office. He was only supposed to be gone 48 hours.
Joe Mannix : Uh, did he call you at all?
Marcia Inman : No. He's usually very considerate about letting me know where he is. But this time, when I didn't hear from him, I thought he just got wrapped up in the local problems. When I phoned the hotel, they said he checked out after two days, exactly as planned.
Joe Mannix : So, uh, he's been out of touch for about five days.
[Marcia nods]
Joe Mannix : Does the local office in Los Angeles have any idea where he might be?
Marcia Inman : [shakes her head] Phillip Lomax- he's the manager- he says as far as he knows, Darrel intended to go straight back to Cleveland.
Joe Mannix : Mrs. Inman, have you been to the police?
Marcia Inman : No. No, I haven't. You see, uh...
[takes out a picture from her purse]
Marcia Inman : I found this in my husband's desk.
[hands the picture to Joe]
Marcia Inman : I thought if he's involved, the less publicity, the better.
Joe Mannix : [looks at the photo and sees a woman sitting in a chair] Do you know who she is?
Marcia Inman : No. Whenever Darrel gets involved, I try to pretend it simply isn't happening. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything about it, but since he's missing, it's the only clue I have.
Joe Mannix : Hmm. Do you have a picture of your husband?
Marcia Inman : Not with me, but I have sent for one.
Joe Mannix : Can you describe him for me?
Marcia Inman : Well, he's... he's about your height, dark brown hair, medium build. His eyes are... His eyes are very sensitive to the light. He wears tinted glasses.
Joe Mannix : Well, that ought to do it for a start. I'll go to work on it. Where can I reach you?
Marcia Inman : At the Fieldmont. We always stay there.
Joe Mannix : All right, if I come up with anything, I'll give you a call.
Marcia Inman : Thank you, Mr. Mannix.
