Was the record stuck and therefore going to play the same thing over and over until he got back?

Was the record stuck and therefore going to play the same thing over and over until he got back?
YES. THE RECORD WAS SKIPPING.

Is that why he killed himself?

Do I get a cigar?

Do we have to guess what phrase he heard over and over again?

Hmmm. Did he put a record on to create an alibi, then drive across town to commit a crime, then on the way back realize the jig was up?

Sorry, I missed this post:
Was what he heard on the radio the thing he put on automatic, indicating that the radio station was unmanned?
YES.
Or did he hear something different, indicating someone … or something*, had switched the record?*
NO.

Did he kill himself because he realized that someone in charge of changing records at the station had died?

Is he a DJ?

Was he out getting some on the side and knew that his wife would know that he wasn’t at the station since the record had been stuck for a while?

Never mind, thought I’d read further before. Didn’t see that that was established. >_<

Is that why he killed himself?
NO.
Do I get a cigar?
NOT YET.

Do we have to guess what phrase he heard over and over again?

YES.

NO.

Couldn’t that be just about ANY crime?

What more do I need? the crime definition?
Was it
murder
rape
adultry
robbery
jaywalking
assault

Jaywalking??? He had a CAR, for Gods sake :smiley:

tax-evasion?
littering?
tagging an overpass?
shop lifting?
home wrecking?
starring in The Matrix?

NO.

(Bill growing impatient after waiting for Kat for an hour last night; see top of page)

Wasssup, Kat? Take us out of our misery! I’m putting a record on and heading for my car pretty quick here!

So, the guy was a jewel thief or something? Not just a common adulterer?
