Synopsis
In The Missing Person, a gripping episode of Suspense, the story unfolds with Phil Dexter, a seasoned magazine writer, who is assigned to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Joseph Ebner, a talented concert musician. The narrative begins on the evening of March 10, 1948, when Joseph Ebner bids farewell to his wife, Martha, before heading to the Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles for a performance with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. As the clock ticks closer to concert time, Ebner mingles with his fellow musicians, but just moments before the concert begins, he inexplicably leaves the hall to retrieve something from his locker—and vanishes without a trace.
