Re: Old Fashioned Murder teleplay

Yeah, noticed that missing too. Good point on Janie seeing the brief case. Hadn't thought of that. What I never could figure out is that neither supposed shooters would have had gun shot residue on them, so that would be an immediate give away that it was staged. Seemed to be a huge flaw in the story to me. Ruth could have at least tried to shoot another bullet or something with their hands to get GSR on them.

Re: Old Fashioned Murder teleplay

The lack of GSR immediately caught my attention too. I guess because I've seen that clue both used and planted in other Columbo episodes!
