I had a very strong sense of Nora Tanner being trampled to death by horses.

You find the lady, they're going to say, see, the psychic was right.

If we don't find the lady, they're going to say, see, they were stupid.

You just read my mind.

She just read my mind. You don't believe in that psychic garbage, do you? I went

to one once. She said I was going to get married, live on a farm, and have four

kids. You think it's too late?

What about the blood on her neck? It's from an animal. Like from a horse?

No, like from a cow.

Then why would she run away?

I never hear that. Never. We have a good marriage. I love her.

Yes, sir, I'm sure you do. Then what do you keep saying, ran away?

I think it was too lazy to find Nora. Oh, you don't know what you're talking

about. No, I am. Look, I'm saying, sir.

Hold it right there. Look, Mr. Tanner, I won't have you insulting my officers. I

happen to agree with Tagney and Lacey that the evidence points to a runaway.

Fool! You hear me? Fool!

You know your voice in here.

You can't. How can you be so very offensive? I am.

Sir, I called me up to suggest that your daughter left her own free will. My

wife did not run away from me. She couldn't have.

She agrees with me.

Madam Saul, it's not a train police officer.

It's Mrs.

They only call me madam in Europe.

You must have heard about her finding that kid in Belgium.

The boy that was kidnapped was on TV and everything.

She has not brought any new evidence, any facts. But I have feelings,

Lieutenant. Very strong senses, whether you believe in my powers or not. Madam

Zoll, a feeling that Mrs. Tanner is in danger does not give us anything new to

work with. But it doesn't make any sense that Nora would go away without telling

Howard.

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

There's a pack of reporters out in the booking area. They say some lady

psychic's given a press conference. Thank you, Sergeant.

Excuse me.

This should have been cleared through me. Tanner, I do not appreciate

grandstanding. We're going to force you to do something, whether you like it or

not. This is a police precinct.

Mrs.

Zoll wanted some pictures, and I know you have one that Howard gave you, but

this is a more recent picture.

It's with her church choir.

She wanted to sing opera when she was a girl, but she got married, you know.

Do you think it'll help? Yes, ma 'am.

Thank you. You never can tell.

She's the one who helped him find the two dead bodies. I saw her on TV. She is

not bad for a woman.

Monday is not important here. What is important is that we find Noritana.

Will you be working closely with the police? I'm prepared to cooperate with

source, spiritual or otherwise.

In previous cases where I've assisted the police, they've been very helpful.

The villain has had fun on a circus, hasn't he? Yeah, I guess it's going to

up to clowns. Kenneth Samuels, do you believe she's been a victim of a foul

play? No, we have no evidence in that direction. I disagree.

There is no question that Mrs. Tanner's in danger, grave danger.

Does that mean you think she's dead? The family has been kind enough to provide

me with some pictures.

I'm hoping to get a reading.

I see the New York skyline.

I see Nora Tanner's face.

I see... She's running.

I'm sorry, Mr. Taylor. Your wife is frightened and she's being pursued.

And I see no escape.

Thank

you.

You want the last half of my egg salad?

What's wrong with it?

Nothing's wrong with it, Christine. I'm just not hungry for it.

Go ahead.

Take the pickle, too.

Somehow I think it's more fitting that you keep the pickle.

No, thanks. I don't like dill.

I'll tell you what you don't like.

Madame Zoll.

Excuse me, Mrs. Zoll.

Do you?

She's got style.

Yeah, like a Mack truck, she's got style. Coming in, taking over the entire

squad room, making money off of people's misery.

Well, I'm going to make a prediction.

I think she's going to fall flat on her face.

Let's go.

Have a second.

Oh, sorry.

Forgot.

Kid has to have her calcium.

Her? Yeah, why not?

Could be a little girl.

Then I could buy her, you know, like, pretty little smock dresses.

You know, this kind.

Then later on, Andy, Christine can take her out to carousing and drinking,

preferably with attractive young men.

It's reassuring, Christine.

Going to be a dirty old lady?

Why not?

Dirty young lady.

True?

No. Hey.

Slow is better.

Otherwise, burping. All right.

So I looked around. I didn't see anything missing.

I thought maybe a good strong wind had set the alarm off. So I sent the cops

home. Now I see.

My Elvis Presley Memorial decanter is gone.

What was its value then, sir?

Are you kidding? It was priceless.

Well, once you take away all the fundamental value, it's worth about 800

And you're an eyewitness?

Yeah.

Could you describe who you saw?

Yeah.

Would you tell us what you saw?

Oh, sure.

It was all in silver, you know, and he sparkled.

Sparkled? Yeah. And he wore this big, shiny gold, like Pirate's badge

or something.

Do you want I should talk to one of them sketch artists?

No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

I think of everything you do, I hate missing persons the most.

I beg your pardon?

You know what I mean. Take the whole thing too personally.

Don't start, Harv.

I can't use you going into one of your theories on this. Oh, one of my

huh? You think it's a coincidence you get like this every time you get a

persons case? I don't get like anything. Oh, you don't, huh? Let me tell you

something, Mary Beth. You know and I know that every time you get one of

things, we are talking about your father.

My father?

I ever mention father?

Face it, Mary Beth, he's on your mind sometimes is all.

He took off and you never knew whether he was dead or what.

He took off, Bob.

Period.

Selfish bastard.

If he was dead, I'd know it. Oh, yeah? What are you, a gypsy seer? What are

Sigmund Freud II?

No, no, no, no. I just know that any time you get one of these cases...

the subject, Bob.

Okay. Sure.

Whatever you say, babe.

Mary. Betsy, get me all wet. What am I wearing? What are you wearing?

Mr. Tanner couldn't even tell us what his wife was wearing the day she

disappeared. What am I wearing? What are you wearing? You're wearing your blue

pants and your yellow blouse.

Well, I got the blue pants right.

My yellow blouse?

What yellow blouse?

I didn't even own a yellow blouse.

Mary Beth, some things are just not important enough to remember.

Oh, terrific. That's perfect, Harv. Not important.

I could disappear tomorrow morning and you couldn't tell anybody what the hell

looked like.

What'd she look like? Oh, I don't know. She was a little short blonde woman with

a yellow blouse.

It's missing persons.

I saw you on the Carson show the other night.

You were terrific.

Thank you.

I couldn't believe you actually knew what was in Charo's purse.

Can you predict something's going to happen before it does?

Sometimes.

Like the sex of a baby. Can you predict that? Very often.

Or the birth weight, say, or even the date of birth.

I'm sorry, Sergeant. I can't use my gift to further gambling.

I know. I was talking about gambling.

The Lacey baby, Quinnell.

Detective, Inspector, you already asked if I had any hunches.

Looks to me like

you did a very perfunctory job on this one.

What's the matter? You getting tired?

We're carrying 11 other cases, and I'm telling the Inspector this one's a

runaway. I mean, it's all there, the evidence, the profile.

Well, did you check to see if this lady used her credit cards? I mean... Plane

ticket, hotel, restaurants.

So we're not supposed to do that unless there's evidence of a crime.

Inspector, I have been following this case very closely, and believe me, they

have played it right down the line.

I see.

So now we have a psychic and the media to contend with.

Bert, you remember that Steve McCarthy case, don't you?

Yeah, yeah. Who was in charge of that? Oh, Taylor, wasn't it? Down at the 12th?

Well, a family called in a psychic, and the psychic said the boy would be found

in a lake.

Well, everybody left. That was until the body was found in the middle of Lake

Placid. Now, the paper ran that how many days?

Five, six?

And as I recall, Taylor was asked to take a very early retirement.

Well, that's not going to happen here, is it, Bert?

So you want us to work with the psychic, sir?

Oh, you just read my mind.

She just read my mind.

Have a good day.

Lieutenant, we were just making headway on the Gottfried homicide.

Turn it over to Aspermonte and Kazak.

Nelman wants you to work with the psychic. You work with the psychic.

Yes, sir.

There is no reason for us to be adversaries. Thank you.

We all want the same thing, which is to find Nora Tanner.

Well, that sideshow in here yesterday with the reporters, is that part of the

way you work?

Detective, we all have an image to present. Now, for me, people expect

a little more color, a little out of the ordinary, and they're disappointed if

they don't get it. Well, we're not here to please your fans, Mrs. Zoll.

This is our job.

Now it's my job, too.

If you'll just keep an open mind, you'll find me reasonable and easy to work

with. Is that an official prediction?

The lieutenant said you have some further information for us, ma 'am. Yes.

I saw Nora Tanner this morning when I woke up.

She was in a grassy area surrounded by trees. Yesterday you saw the New York

skyline. I can't pretend to reconcile the two. I simply see what I see.

Nora was in this place outdoors and there were horses all around.

I called Mr. Tanner to find out if Nora had any connection to horses.

He said no.

That makes it all that much more strange.

Yes, ma 'am.

Well... Thank you for the information.

I'm not finished, detective.

I saw many, many horses.

And I had a very strong sense of Nora Tanner being trampled to death.

By horses.

Well, this has been terrific, Christine.

Slogging through stables. Look at my shoe.

You have to admit, Mary Beth, Central Park does have trees, grass, and horses.

Where else in New York are we going to find trees, grass, and horses?

Half of them.

Roosevelt Raceway. We could go through 10, 12 parachutes.

Great.

I hate this.

We're in a no -win situation.

No matter what we do, we're going to end up looking stupid.

We find the lady, they're going to say, see, the psychic was right.

We don't find the lady, they're going to say, see, they were stupid.

I don't know why we're even bothering. The woman is a runaway.

Probably had every good reason.

Take off without a word is a very selfish thing to do.

He left almost.

For one day, 24 hours of 14 years we've known each other.

And I suffered from guilt the whole time. And I called Harvey. And this is

something else altogether.

Mary Beth, you also came home because you wanted to. You had a choice. This

woman has a choice, but for some reason she just doesn't want to go home. What

I'm saying, Christina, is that it's not fair to her family. She has

responsibilities.

She can't go around thinking only about herself.

It's not quite the same thing. This woman does not have a child at home

And if she's in a bad relationship, I say good for her for getting out. A lot

women stay too long. The trouble with you, Christina, is that you don't

understand about responsibilities and commitment. I understand perfectly, Mary

Beth.

That's why I'm single.

We know she's not in the morgue. We know she's not in the hospital.

We know she took her clothes and cosmetics from home and a picture of her

the Marines.

Yeah. Did you see how her mother started to cry when she saw that empty picture

frame? And Madam Zoll uses that.

Takes advantage of it, charging that woman $25 ,000.

Some sweet racket she's got.

Well, the woman has had some success.

She found that boy in Europe. She's helped the police with, what, seven

She was wrong in three of them.

Spread in the 50 -50. I bet she still collected the money.

You don't believe in that psychic garbage, do you? No.

I went to one once.

She said I was going to get married, live on a farm, and have four kids.

You think it's too late?

Never too late, Christine.

Honey? Coming, babe.

Pants, sweater, tan dress, tan shoes, golden earrings.

What else?

What else?

What else?

Oh, okay. The boys ate dinner.

Don't worry about the dishes.

Harvey Jr. can take care of them before he goes to school tomorrow.

Forget about the dishes. What about you? Where are you going?

Tuesday.

Bowling night.

See you at midnight.

Honey? Guys are waiting, hon. Hoff, what would you say if I asked you to skip

bowling tonight?

What's the matter?

It's the missing persons case.

Something's wrong at work. No, not work.

Everything okay with the baby?

You feeling all right?

Hoff, what I'm feeling like is talking.

Talking?

What about?

Maybe we'll think of something, Hoff.

I mean, I'm the only one in this marriage feeling likely like we've been

each other like ships in the night. Oh, not last night, babe. Last night the

ships collided. Well, that's cute, Harp, but one collision out of every ten days

is not enough.

We need to spend more time together. We need to talk to each other more.

You're right.

Let's talk.

You first.

The guys are waiting, Hoff.

The guys are waiting.

The guys are waiting, Hoff.

I'll see you at midnight.

You almost finished?

Five minutes tops.

Well, hurry it up. We got a man out there stealing Elvis Presley

got to get him off the streets.

So the son enlisted in the Marines six months ago, right?

Yeah.

The same month that she opened a checking account in her own name.

Well, that figures.

The son leaves and she starts to feel like there's no reason for her to stay.

Okay, so she opens a checking account.

Stays up enough money and then she takes off.

I'd like to know if she got that kind of money.

Maybe she was skimming from her household allowance.

That? A little bit each week, it adds up.

Where did it go? A credit card charge from a hotel in Burlington, Vermont, two

weeks ago.

We'll get the hard copy and check the signature.

We'll call the police in Burlington and have them see if the woman matches

Nora's description.

Well, I hope they get back to us before Madam Zoll has another hot flash.

Your turn.

Thanks.

Okay, Jimmy.

One last thing. Our perp was wearing a silver jumpsuit.

I see a man.

He's robed.

No.

It's a coat.

It's a white coat.

I'm sure.

Look for a man in a white coat.

You know anything about a Nora Tanner?

Sorry, lady.

You want the ice cream or not?

Yeah.

Yes, a hobby light, please.

Excuse me?

I'm not the woman that called 15 minutes ago.

His wife, who's this?

Well, when he comes back, would you please tell him that his wife called?

Yeah, and would you ask him to please bring home a dozen eggs and a quart of

apple juice on his way home? Yeah.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

So what do you think? How many men in New York are white coats toward Mary

huh? 100 ,000?

Maybe more.

We'll talk to her doctor, pharmacist, or dentist. Not to mention the grilling I

just gave the tutti -frutti man.

That leaves us 99 ,996 to go.

I think the husband would know if he was a runaway.

How can you not know when your marriage is in trouble? I mean, there's signs,

right? It's not always that simple.

Come on, Mary Beth, you'd know if Harvey said something was wrong with him.

Of course you would. How can a person live with somebody and not know there's

something wrong?

Your prediction has come true, Mrs. Zell. How does that make you feel?

Terribly sorry for the family they have my deepest sympathies, but I saw bad

signs here from the beginning.

The people looked for Nora when I asked you to. This wouldn't have happened.

Howard, please.

I don't know how to help you any more than we already have.

Where were you last night, Mr. Tanner?

I told you. I worked the night shift.

All night, sir? You didn't take any breaks?

I don't know.

An hour, maybe.

Did you go anywhere?

No.

Are you sure, sir?

Not even for a bite to eat?

What's the matter? You don't believe me?

No, it's not that, sir.

In these cases, we have to ask the family first. Look, lady, I don't

this.

I've been after you people for weeks to find my wife.

To find my wife.

Well, now my wife's dead.

And you, you got nothing better to do than give me the third degree?

I've had it up to here with you people.

I'm sorry. He doesn't know what he's saying. He's so upset.

Not very much.

Yes, ma 'am. We understand that.

No, you don't, Mary Beth.

Harvey, what are you doing there? No, you don't. Not till you give me the

words.

Harvey. What am I wearing, Mary Beth?

I'm not in the mood for jokes, Hob, okay?

Come on, Mary Beth. What am I wearing?

Would you quit teasing?

Oh, no.

You want your hard -working husband feeling like you've been taking him for

granted lately?

What have I got on?

Um, you're wearing a...

Blue plaid shirt, the one that I mended in the pocket last week, and a white T

-shirt underneath, and gray pants, and a brown cowhide belt with, um, what do

you call it? A tarnished belt buckle, right? Am I right? How am I doing?

About a thousand, right?

Huh? Not bad. Not bad, Mary Beth.

But not good enough.

That's very funny, Hoff.

She called you at work today.

They said you were out or something.

Or busy with all your phone calls or something.

Did you get my message?

Mary Beth, I am sorry.

I just got a little mixed up. I didn't know whether you wanted milk and eggs,

jute or eggs, material or what. My mom called, and she was a little bit under

the weather, and she wanted me to get a couple of things from the store, too.

Muriel called you?

Muriel called before I called? Yeah.

Oh, that's wonderful.

That's wonderful, heart.

Calls me every week.

Makes it as happy as I would call me every day.

Yeah, morning and night.

For you, babe.

Mary Beth, don't you think you've been wearing a little bit too much makeup

lately?

Could you give us some more information, Mr. Lunsford?

It's been four months since somebody ripped off the jumpsuit.

I didn't have the heart to take the dummy down.

I kept feeling maybe the jumpsuit would come back like Elvis himself.

Can you describe his jumpsuit?

Can I describe the jumpsuit?

Did the cane have hits?

Of course I can describe the jumpsuit.

He wore it at 69.

Vegas appearance. It was his second appearance.

Oh, the stars came out that night, gentlemen. Let me tell you.

You had your George Hamiltons, your Minnie Pearls, your Tom Joneses, your

Davises Juniors. Mr. Lunsford, the jumpsuit, what did it look like? It was

silver.

Oh, it had sequences all over it.

Pearls. He sparkled like a Roman candle when he wore it.

You know who he did that for, gentlemen, don't you?

The man in the back row.

Boy, that man cared about everybody. Did he wear a belt buckle with his suit?

Did Elvis love his mother? Of course. It was a gold -studded sheriff's badge

with a six, diamonds crusted all over it.

Where you guys been?

Mr. Lunsford, do you know of anyone who seemed particularly interested in that

jumpsuit? Yeah, the Elvis impersonators. They'd love to get their hands on it.

They say it gives them inspiration.

But none of them could afford it.

Elvis impersonators?

Yeah. The town's lousy with them.

Preliminary forensics reports on Noah Tanner. Cause of death, strangulation.

know what? They found traces of blood on her neck.

Now, my theory is she either bit or scratched the guy's hand. I perfectly

go on reading and interpreting that myself. May I have it, please? We also

copper fibers on her nylons. On my hunches, that's the key to the case.

And if you're smart, Cagney, you followed that lead.

It's Sergeant Cagney. Now, give it to me.

Shake with the psychic.

10 to 1, she says I'm right.

Where's Lacey?

Oh, she called and said she'd be a little late this morning, Lieutenant.

Morning sickness?

I don't think so.

Well, she got easy duty today.

This afternoon, you two are going to make a little house call on Madam Zorn.

This morning, she wants you to go buy the groceries at the victim's place of

employment. She thinks the killer is somebody Mrs. Tanner worked with.

It'll all be in the papers this afternoon.

What is she, the new commissioner?

I just got the forensics report. I've got to check it out.

Later. Nelman's orders. You follow the psychic's lead.

Oh, and by the way, if you run into anyone suspicious, she wants you to...

Bring something of theirs back.

For what?

For a reading. For what?

You're kidding.

What am I supposed to say?

Excuse me, could I have maybe a lock of your hair as a souvenir of our meeting?

Hey, Cagney, you're a sergeant now. You will think there's something to say.

Yes, Lieutenant.

I always liked Nora.

She was different from the other people here.

Different? How was she different?

She talked to me.

She was special.

Sometimes I'd take my break.

The same time she took hers.

Just so we could talk.

What did you talk about?

Life.

Things we wanted to do, things we knew we'd probably never get to do.

I'm going to miss her.

She was probably the best friend I had.

Eli, did you ever want to be more than, you know, just friends?

She couldn't.

She was married.

Anyway, she didn't have time for me.

She had another job.

Another job.

She worked as a cocktail waitress in this bar on 3rd Avenue.

I took a cab once and I followed her.

Why did you follow her?

I liked her.

Thought it'd be fun if I just showed up and surprised her.

I scared her.

She really panicked when she saw me.

She pleaded with me not to tell anyone.

Did you?

No, I wasn't.

It was our secret.

Where did you say that bar was, Eli?

86th and 3rd.

Well, Eli, you've been a big help to us. Thank you very much. I wonder if I

might just ask you one more question.

Yeah.

Could I borrow your name tag?

I'll mail it back tomorrow morning.

Thank you. Do you want me to get you one with your name on it?

Oh.

No, that's all right. This will be just fine.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you. Bye.

Bye -bye.

Say the white coat.

I'm pregnant, Christine, not lying.

Yeah, sure, I remember her.

But she called herself Yvonne Webber. Now, will you ladies excuse me?

I gotta get ready for the lunch treat.

We're pushing for the white wine crowd, you know?

When's the last time you saw her?

About a month ago.

Yeah. That's when she quit.

She say why she was quitting, Mr. Roden?

No.

But I knew right from the beginning it wasn't gonna work out.

She could only work when her old man was on the night shift.

She didn't want him to know about the job.

Has to be paid in cash.

Now, what kind of a guy doesn't want his wife to work?

Mr. Roden, did you ever see her leave with a customer?

No.

She was real clean.

Did you ever go out with her?

Nah. I like to stay away from the Americans.

Who needs the aggravation?

Yeah.

You married, honey?

Four kids.

We live on a farm.

Pretty. Thank you, Mr. Rowland. Sure. Thank you.

Bye now.

Hey. I'll return it tomorrow.

Morning. First thing.

Uh -huh.

Next stop, Madam Zoe.

I hope her apartment doesn't smell of incense.

This one sees himself as a ladies' man.

He thinks of himself as wild and dangerous.

He's relatively harmless.

Let me see the other one.

Thank you.

I see he works in a grocery store.

Yeah, that's a tough one.

This man's in great pain.

There's something very disturbing to him about Nora's death.

And he's confused.

Scared. He's very, very scared.

You should talk to this man immediately. He knows something he's not telling

you.

We're running a computer check on him.

I guess we could make a call and see if anything came through.

May I use your phone?

Sure.

Carol?

Honey?

Carol?

Excuse me.

Carol? Mom, I'm talking to Don.

Go with you? Sure.

I want you to get off that phone right now. I'm not going to tell you again

Teenagers, they're so... Unpredictable.

There's another phone in the kitchen if you'd like some privacy. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Detective Lacey, you've got two boys, right?

How'd you know that?

You told me.

At the station, remember?

Oh, yeah. You're pregnant again?

Yeah.

May I have something of yours to hold?

Huh?

We could find out if you're going to have a daughter this time.

No, thank you.

Oh, you don't believe in any of this stuff, do you, detective?

Madam Zell, what I don't believe in is charging people $25 ,000 for a service

like yours.

In my opinion, I think you're taking advantage of people's troubles. I'm no

-by -night gypsy detective.

I have a gift.

In our society, people who have gifts are well paid.

Why should I apologize for making half as much money as someone whose only

talent is that he can throw a real tight spiral on a Sunday afternoon?

Eli was in a mental hospital last year.

And up until five years ago, he lived in Burlington, Vermont.

Did you take these? Yes.

Did you take these pictures of Norris Manor? Yes. It was the only way that I

could have her with me. I wanted to be close to her. It was the only way I

have her with me. Is this your diary, Eli? What are you doing with that?

How about this?

You're right. I want her all to myself. I cannot share her any longer. Why won't

she take me seriously?

What do you mean by that? Just what it says.

I want her. Look, I loved her.

She wouldn't believe that.

I warned her. I warned her, but she wouldn't listen to me. She wouldn't

to you. Did that make you angry, Eli?

Huh? What did you do? What did you do to make her listen to you? No.

What'd you do to make her listen to you? Let me tell you, you wrote four days

later. Nora is having an affair.

I know it. With whom, Eli? Huh?

What'd you do to punish her? Did you punish her for that?

Eli, tell me about Burlington, Vermont.

Eli.

Burlington, Vermont.

God, it was nice there.

Nora about.

Oh, I knew she could be happy there.

And you took her there.

I wanted to.

I wanted to be there with her.

Were you, Eli?

Were you there with her?

Do you get it?

I loved her.

I always loved her.

I could never hurt her.

Take your time.

Look at each man closely. We want you to be positive before you identify

anybody.

I'd like a closer look at number three.

Number three, would you step forward, please?

I never thought being good -looking and having a great body would be a curse.

I'm not sure.

Well, you have been saying you ain't nothing but a hound dog.

Michael, what time did Daddy call?

Well, did he say how late he'd be?

Well, I don't need to see the entire report, just a few pieces of

Reuben, help us out here.

I don't want to start a precedent.

Reuben. No.

Please.

All right.

This is a copy of the M .E.'s report.

I don't suppose you've seen that one either. Well, actually, we were on our

over there, but it doesn't seem like we'll have time now. Okay, okay, okay.

Now, it looks like she was killed by a man, a strong one at that.

Broke her thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone. What about the fibers on her

nylon? It was from an industrial carpet, the type used in old model GM vehicles.

You think she was strangled in the car?

Uh -huh.

No, you may not have ice cream after dinner.

Because it rots your teeth is why.

And turn off the TV, Michael.

No TV on school nights.

Read a book.

Goodbye, Michael.

Did you get anything?

Yeah, she was killed somewhere else and transported by car.

What about the blood on her neck? You're gonna love this.

It's from an animal.

Like from a horse?

No, like from a cow.

And then they came back to me and they asked me to sing Don't Be Cruel.

So you really look like the perp, huh?

Nah, the guy said afterwards once he heard number six sing, well, you know,

This just came through. An airplane reservation for the Tanner woman.

She flew from Burlington to New York on the night she was killed.

What time did she get in?

And she couldn't stay in hiding because of all the publicity.

So she comes home, they have a big fight, and he kills her.
