1001 Stories For The Road

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.

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.

Betsy Ross is credited as being the seamstress who stitched our first "Stars and Stripes", but some historians say that there is no proof of it. The story was handed down through her family and shared by her grandson William Canby at a Philadephia celebration of our Declaration of Independence in 1876. Betsy Ross suffered the fate of many wives during the American Revolution, losing two husbands to the war. Her can-do attitude and her willingness to help her country in any way she could is still honored today.  Music by our friend Dusty Roads. Learn more about your ad choices.

I once was lost, but now I am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come, 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. Learn more about your ad choices.
