btw... I'd love for Patrick Jane (The Mentalist) to come along ...I mean I wouldn't mind if he was my loser baby daddy during the undercover op...

think we can swing that?
It is going to be some little thing, or something said or maybe not said, that will crack this case IMO.
I have often thought there should be a foundation where the talented writers of crime shows like Monk, Law & Order with Jeff G, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, NCIS and such others, who would volunteer so much time to work on live cases every month and figure out how to catch the perp.
This week I saw a piece of brilliance in the Law and Order show with Jeff Goldbloom {last name?}.
The jist: He had reason to think this lady had murdered her old lover out of jealousy as he had married a different woman, or SS. At the memorial service for the hubby Jeff got up and said he had found a poem in the dead mans desk that he wanted to read because it showed the man's true genius as a writer of poetry.
The poem told of rekindling an old love and how throughout life, it had been the very person he truly loved and always would, even in death.
Silence after the reading, and you see the lady with tears welling up in her eyes leave the bldg and start walking down the street. Jeff came up and talked with her and told her it must have been she was the love of his life after all. And she caved as she realiazed he really did want her after all and now he was dead.
We see her taken into a police car, and in the next scene Jeff is talking to his partner. She says to him, SS to 'The one thing you didn't tell her is that you wrote that poem, right?' And he just grinned and they walked away.
I think we need to put the thought that goes into that writing to good use for true Justice. xox
