Yes if you have a keen eye you will find clues. But the resolution when I created the site in 1994 was terrible. I had to take video screen shots for the episodes and they were grainy. I think they are cool now. but with 2k and 4K and HD you can zoom in, and get the details we could not get in those years. Shame! as columbo is a part of the past a time that is long gone. we had fax machines and no internet. episodes were not solved by AI. ha ha!

Just good old fashioned clues.
