The Fall of Gentryville

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Fall of Gentryville" is a Mystery from Monday, March 5, 1979.

A reporter named Pete, in order to redeem himself, is assigned to write a story about why the little town of Gentryville and all its residents have vanished without a trace. The geologists and engineers blame it on an earth fault but, after he interviews the town’s sole survivor, a spinster named Jennie Powers, Pete comes up with a different theory that, if printed, will either land him in a nuthouse or win him a Pulitzer Prize.
