As with many of the CBS Radio Workshop shows, this is a kind of experiment for radio. Stanley Niss made up a crime, then gave the actors a script to follow ... as far as they could. Then he set real-life cops to question them and get to the bottom of the crime.
In the beginning the cops sound like they are reading something to me. Possibly some facts off a sheet. But then it starts to feel more natural. Some of the things they say are both funny and scary. Notice how they get the couple to feel guilty about shacking up.
