You Know What I Did? by Charles Beckman appeared in Manhunt May 1954. This is a gritty story that plays out in only two hours. Your kid's missing, and at first it's nothing to worry about. Then time passes, and your kid doesn't come home.
Charles Boeckman Jr. (1920 - 2015), who wrote under the pen name Charles Beckman Jr., was a prolific American pulp magazine author known for his work in suspense, mystery, and western genres. He broke into the pulps in 1945 with a story published in Detective Tales and continued writing for major publications like Star Western and Fifteen Western Tales until the format’s decline in the late 1950s.
Beyond his pulp career, Boeckman was a professional jazz musician (clarinetist and saxophonist) who toured with bands for decades and authored the non-fiction book Cool, Hot and Blue. Several of his short stories were adapted for television, including an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and he remained active as an author well into his 90s, publishing new works and anthologies of his vintage stories.
The Woman on the Bus is a short story written by R. Van Taylor, originally published in the May 1954 issue of the pulp crime fiction digest Manhunt.
Mack didn't know why he was worried. The woman only wanted to stay until the next bus. Then she took out a gun...
This story was famously adapted into a television episode for the anthology series The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse. The episode aired in 1954, directed by Charles S. Gould and starring Polly Bergen, Chick Chandler, and Ross Elliott.
