"Just one more thing." It's probably not at all important but Lt. Columbo does have just one more question for you. Of course, he is not making any accusations. It is just a minor matter that he wants to get cleared up in his mind. Nothing really of concern.

PING!
You know, my boss... he’s a stickler, wants every loose end tied up.
If the dude lawyered up and isn’t talking or won’t take a lie detector, they already know.
I sure hope that the locals have been segregating all the garbage from dumpsters and cans from the main pile since she was reported missing. That could make her easier to find.
But I’m surprised they haven’t done any search party work since the initial report. She could be vulture food off some skinny dirt road.
HUH????????
“or won’t take a lie detector.”
There is a not an insignificant percentage of innocent people who, either due to nervousness or fear, fail a polygraph. Pathological liars can, I’ve been told, pass one when guilty. Then there is operator error, leading, or surprise questions, and other things.
If I were accused of committing a crime, I’d refuse a polygraph. Let them prove me guilty, or at least charge me without getting an induced, false confession.
I understand and appreciate your points but this is a relative.
There are all kinds of people but I find it hard to believe someone with a close relative missing wouldn’t do the right thing, understanding the quite small likelihood that they would be caught up in a false guilty mark on a lie detector test
Cold blooded murderers will pass a polygraph. They aren’t the least bit sorry or feel the slightest remorse. There is a reason the polygraphs are inadmissible in court. Completely unreliable.
I just ordered it on Audible. I remember reading it years ago so now I plan on listening to it.
Enjoy!
The Characters are so well drawn.
I hope you get a good narrator on your audio book.
Do you like Dostoevsky’s premise, Peejay?
Do you like his premise very much?
And Adrian Monk came from Colombo.
