When a society wedding's lavish breakfast becomes the scene of a shocking murder, our intrepid newspaper shutterbug finds himself caught between the bride's tears and the police commissioner's demands for answers. With only his camera, his wits, and his dogged determination to uncover the truth, Casey must navigate the glittering world of high society while a killer walks freely among the guests. The crackling dialogue and tense musical stings will keep you perched on the edge of your seat as Casey develops his photographs—and his theory—about who really poisoned the groom.

Casey, Crime Photographer was a jewel in CBS's dramatic crown, running for twelve seasons as listeners fell in love with Richard Widmark's portrayal of the quick-thinking photojournalist who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. During the golden age of radio drama in the 1940s, when millions gathered around their sets each week, the show captured the post-war American fascination with crime-solving and urban intrigue. Casey wasn't a policeman or a private detective—he was an everyman with a camera, representing the newspaper profession that itself was becoming increasingly celebrated in popular culture. Each episode thrummed with authenticity, combining genuine police procedure with the fast-talking charm of newspaper culture.
