The Corpse That Would Not Die

Therese Raquin and her lover, portrait painter Laurent Duchaine, murder Therese's husband, Camille. They do it so well that nobody suspects them, but instead of solidifying their relationship, the two are so filled with guilt that soon they hate each other. Both have recurring dreams that Camille is still alive and begin to realize that he will haunt them for years to come, as will Camille's mother, who overhears them arguing about who is more guilty. She, however, is rendered speechless by a stroke and thus cannot tell anyone what she overheard.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
