Re: Unmurdered Husbands of Murderesses

Do widows of unmurdered spouses count?

Vivian Dimitri (Helen Shaver) of "Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo" had been married to Pete. He was not murdered. He had a heart attack in prison.

Re: Unmurdered Husbands of Murderesses

Well...I suppose that would count. The one thing you have to remember David is that when I talk about episodes it is usually only about the original 45, because I haven't seen many of the newer ones.

Re: Unmurdered Husbands of Murderesses

You're right on about the original 45, Cassa.

From the ABC years, the only "questionable" murderer is Kathleen Calvert (portrayed by Mrs. Peter Falk) rom "A Trace Of Murder". She was married, but didn't murder her husband. However, she and Patrick Kinsley planned to frame the husband for murder. Thing is, Patrick is the one who actually committed the murder. Does that make Kathleen a non-murderer? Technically, I suppose it does.

Re: Unmurdered Husbands of Murderesses

Well, at least I did better than the other thread I started.
