Murder, She Wrote: Menace, Anyone? (1986)
Season 2, Episode 20
6/10
Police killed

This MSW episode makes two departures from the usual paradigm of these stories. First off the investigating detective is killed during the story while Jessica Fletcher and the rest are chasing down the killer of the first murder. Secondly there's no scene with Ms. Fletcher confronting the killer and telling them how she had figured it out. I can't recall another story where these thing happened.

Angela Lansbury is in Boston attending a tennis tournament at Van Johnson's club. A promising young player Bryan Cranston is killed when a car he was borrowing explodes. Then the investigating lieutenant from Boston homicide is stabbed to death.

The only hint I'll give is that the crimes are related. There is also a question of a dead person coming back to life.

That should give you enough to chew on for this story.
