Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 71 – Missing Person, Part 11: “Right on Schedule.”

This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 71. I’m your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.

This episode is the eleventh in our 12-part special series: Missing Person, a murder mystery.

So he went to the bar where John Costello worked, but just as he arrived, there were gunshots, and he found John Costello on the floor of the bar, dead.
