please. Carl Kolchak.

Kolchak?

Hi Carl? I just thought you'd like to know:

I heard the Parkway Hospital was knocked over.

Oh yeah? Knocked over for what?

Cash? Drugs? Equipment? What?

Blood!?

That's right. Every container

in the place. Their entire stock.

What about blood type?

It seems blood type and rh

factor didn't much matter.

- John?

- Can't stop now. See ya.

Yeah, bu-

6:
30 pm, Clark County Courthouse.

Present, in addition to myself and two

incompetents who call themselves reporters...

...were Warren Butcher

of the Sheriff's Office,

Thomas Paine of the

District Attorney's Office,

Captain Edward Masterson of

the Las Vegas Police Department,

...and old buddy, Bernie Jenks.

Holding forth with his inimitable

cool:
Dr. Robert Makurji, Boy Coroner...

We found the death in each

case was extremely swift,

...coming in something

less than a minute.

After the initial wounds were inflicted,

The blood was drained very quickly

- some kind of suction device being used.

Now this would explain why no blood was found in

the victims, or in the areas they were discovered...

Uh Doctor? Kolchak, Daily News...

Do you have any idea what

could have made these wounds?

They're not unlike the

bite of a medium sized dog.

- What do you mean, "dog"?

- WHAT?

Dog? Dog! What are you telling

us? A dog did these murders?

I didn't mean to indicate that the

wounds were actually inflicted by a dog-

Only that they are similar to those

which "might" be caused by a dog.

A rather interesting point is that we found another substance

mixed in with the traces of blood in the throat wounds.

...namely, saliva.

What do you mean, "saliva"?

I mean saliva, Sheriff Butcher.

HUMAN saliva...

If Makurji had suggested that the murders

were committed by a giant butterfly...

...he couldn't have made more sparks.

Now...

Whaddaya mean "human"?

Are you suggesting that

each of these women...

...was bitten in the throat by a man?

At present, the evidence

points that way...

...however, I couldn't, and wouldn't...

...hazzard a guess as to motivation.

I can only be sure that

they each died from shock,

...induced by massive loss of blood.

Uh, Dr. Makurji-

Is it possible that he killed these

women by biting them in the throat...

...for the expressed purpose

of drinking their blood?

Kolchak! Now you're here by

the mutual suffrage of us all...

eh, "sufferance".

What?

It's "sufferance" Sheriff.

Well whatever it is... just shut up!

I'll answer that.

There have been cases of people who,

through some mental derangement...

...have come to believe

they were vampires.

In Germany, in the 1920's,

there was one fella...

...who DID use his teeth to
