As the legend goes, Texas spies alerted her and asked if she could find a...

Vance manages to find Ms. O'Dell's best girl chum and she reveals a mountain of information about O'Dell's boyfriends.

Markham and Vance narrow the suspects down to 4 men- but more imnportantly, Vance changes Markham's thinking about the nature of the suspect. Vance believes that robbery was not the motive- murder was the motive- and that the killer had planned this all out carefully for a long time. He also believes that Skein was present, hiding in the closet, and saw the murder through the keyhole.

Markham and Vance continue to question suspects but progress is slow. Finally, Vance suggests they go after Mannix- the only remaining love interest. Vance's theory places two men, unknown to each other, hiding in Ms. O'Dell's apartment the night of her murder.

A good lead directs Markheim to a neurologist who was seeing the Canary often at night, and, after beggining the interview in a haughty manner, he became extremely agitated nupon having to give the details of where he was the night of the murder.   Enjoy archives from all 12 1001 shows at www.1001bestof1001stories.com.

As the investigation continues, some breaks come to Markheim - notably, the man who dated Miss O'Dell on her last night comes forward and relates his story to the D.A., who knows him to be a reputable man.  Fingerprints come in showing that one man in the apartment that night had served time in at least 5 prisons- althouhg not for murder. 

Markham and his detective question the key witnesses while Vance observes, but still no answer as to how Ms. Odell's killer got in the apartment, unless he was hiding in there through the day- which the maid's testimony pretty well destroyed.
