Age Cannot Wither

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "Age Cannot Wither" is a Mystery from Monday, August 11, 1975.

When John and Eleanor Burnham go sailing and only John returns, the sheriff's suspicions are aroused. Unable to say where Eleanor is, John is jailed for murder and tells a skeptical sheriff that he didn't murder her, because she can't die. Eleanor, says John, was born 400 years ago, the daughter of an alchemist who gave her the Elixir of Life that made her 19 years old forever. The fact that Eleanor still looks 19 after 45 years of marriage to John is convincing—until her body is found, with evidence that she planned to run away with another man.
