I believe she was looked into (as standard procedure), and as far as I recall, there's never been anything to indicate her involvement. Only some speculation over the years, as she was inside the house when the murder occurred on the doorstep (?) and she continued to live in the same house. Beyond that, nothing.
I've gone around and around whether the name on the envelope was intended to mean anything to Alistair, or whether it was a previously used envelope and the killer was using it as an excuse to be there. I have a pile of yellow notification cards that I use at my workplace. Most of the yellow cards have nothing written on them. Sometimes I accidentally give someone a yellow card saying POSTAGE DUE or TOO MUCH MAIL IN YOUR POST OFFICE BOX when really it's just a notice they have a package. Maybe the killer just grabbed an envelope that was handy, and didn't see the name written on it. Paul could be the person who received a birthday card (or get well card) and just used it in the crime. A check would fit into it, and if the killer asked Alistair to write him a check, that would be a good reason for him to still be waiting at the front door. Alistair was apparently confused as to the meaning of all of it, hence him asking his wife if she knew what it was about. He may have concluded the person was mentally ill, high, or drunk and only went back to look in case the person was still there. Under the assumption he might not have stuck around. The killer may have pretended he was collecting money for a charity and was supposedly promised a donation. All just speculation of course.
