Also what I don't understand is how or what could this little girl have to do with an obscure actress and her tenuous association through Japanese romaji and Hebrew numerology?
It’s not the literal story line about nabbing a perp (although if that happens, great!)
It’s the weird, seemingly unrelated data points that match up in the oddest ways. Columbo debuts the day the body is found, the plot of the story being one of impersonation, concealed identity.
The identity of the little girl was not ever discovered, but now there’s going to be an announcement about that, arriving just ahead of Purim.
She was buried, identified as “the pure of heart.”
The same as those with a target always on their backs for not bowing to the PTB, inflaming the establishment for asking simple, reasonable questions and rejecting dysfunction.
Etc. It’s like a fine painting; you mustn’t rush up to it, or read it in reverse. :)
