Speaker: Um, I wanted to switch gears a little bit. Tom Mabe was our guest last week.
Speaker: Yes he was.
Speaker: We've had a lot of requests for this. He has a little stunt that he does, he leaves a tape recorder by his phone, and when the phone rings he hits the button, and if it is a telemarketer he records the call.
Speaker: Puts them on a little bit.
Speaker: And I though we'd give this one a listen.
Speaker: Hello?
Speaker: Yes, can I speak with Tom Mabe?
Speaker: Who's calling?

Speaker: Let me ask you something. Did you know Tom Mabe? Were you a friend of his?
Speaker: No I'm not. I'm just calling to offer-
Speaker: Hold that thought, hold no a second. (Hey guys get really good pictures of the body, and dust everything down for prints.) Mike you there?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, let me bring you up to speed, you've actually called a murder scene; Mr. Mabe is no longer with us. I'm Office Clarke; I'm conducting a homicide investigation, I want to ask you a series of questions. First of all: What was the nature of the business you had with Tom Mabe?
Speaker: I... I had no business with him, I'm sorry to have bothered-
Speaker: No hang on. I'm going to ask you to stay on the phone, this call has already been traced and we may need to come in for further questioning.
Speaker: You don't understand, I'm just calling-
Speaker: No you don't understand, unless you want to be charged with obstruction of justice, it is imperative that you keep your ass on the phone Mike.
Speaker: How about you just talk with my supervisor?
Speaker: No we will get to your supervisor in a second. First give me your where-abouts.
Speaker: I am at work.
Speaker: You're at work?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: You being a smart ass?
Speaker: No sir.
Speaker: Let me put it to you this way Mike. Say I wanted to mail your ass a letter. What would I have to write on the outside of the envelope to ensure that the mail man would deliver it right to your ass? Geographically speaking Mike, where is work?
Speaker: 40 West Littleton, Colorado.
Speaker: Now hold on that's-
Speaker: Yes sir.
Speaker: Hold on one second alright. (Get the Littleton Police Department, Homicide Division on the phone, give them this information. Tell them that he is being sought in connection with a fatal shooting and aggravated robbery.) How did you know Mr. Mabe again?
Speaker: Wait. You are calling the Littleton Police Department? I'm hundreds of miles away. I don't even know the guy. I'm in Colorado.
Speaker: No, don't let that scare you, it is just a formality. Have you ever been to his place of residence?
Speaker: No!
Speaker: And tell me again, were you last and night between the hours of 8 and 10?
Speaker: I'm not feeling real comfortable by any of this.
Speaker: Have you even ever spoke with Mr. Mabe, Mike?
Speaker: No I haven't, I don't even know the guy. That's what I have been trying to tell you.
Speaker: OK, great. Just calm down, hold on, look, just back up. I've just got one more question for you Mike. As you well I'm sure, Mr. Mabe was a flaming homosexual. And there is no easy way of asking this, I don't want to embarrass you or nothing but, were you his gay lover?
Speaker: What? No! What the hell kind of question is that?
Speaker: Look, look. If gay is your way, that is OK, I still know there are a lot of you gay people in that closet. Not saying I haven't thought about it myself, you know? Go out to Las Vegas or something, buy a couple of drinks, cute little Mexican midget.
Speaker: This is ridiculous.
Speaker: Hello?
