There was a big storm on Saturday night. When Helen did not come home, her husband called the police, fearing the worst. Detective Columbo, the famous detective arrived. He told the husband that Helen’s charred body had been found outside the city in a field. It appeared that she was killed by lightning from the storm. The autopsy however, showed that the burns were not from electricity, it was a murder. The famous detective had three suspects: Tommy, Helen’s husband, Barry, her lover, and Sam, her brother.  The famous detective also found a note in Helen’s pocket that read:

I know who killed Helen but I can’t tell you their name, but I will give you a hint. I saw Helen on Sunday, she was drinking sambuca, dancing the samba and playing the piano in Rick’s Cafe bar in Casablanca.”

The detective then knew who the murderer was.
