The clues for solving it were right there from the get go. How many cases are like this? Good to learn that they finally saw the obvious. It does seem to indicate that jealous females may be more dangerous than males.

"It does seem to indicate that jealous females may be more dangerous than males."

Don't know why, but this story sounds familiar to me. Not the murder, but the cold-case resolution and the police woman involved.

Sam,

I swear I read this story a few years ago, too, and told in the exact same way. A retread?
