Jake Randolph in "Tiki Moon" Pt. 108

I felt a little guilty putting the crew through such a futile effort, but a woman's life was at stake and I had to make Mort Alexander believe that I had killed his wife. The search went on all day as they checked every nook and cranny from stem to stern. I paced around like a nervous man to make it look good.

Finally that evening there was a knock on my cabin door. It was the captain.

"Are you Jacob Randall?" he asked when I opened the door.

"Yes," I said shakily.

"I understand you reported Deborah Newstead missing."
