Recreations of “Truly Missing” Suspense episodes

The Suspense Project thanks American Radio Theater, Blue Hours Productions, Project Audion, and Sole Twin Audio for their generous support in the preservation of the Suspense series. Each agreed to allow their productions to be part of the Suspense Project collection at the Internet Archive.

“Truly missing” episodes refer to those missing Suspense episodes that were broadcast only one time. The series did present many scripts twice. If one recording was missing, there was a different broadcast to be enjoyed. Unfortunately, there were many shows that were performed only one time.
