Murder in High Places
Hitchcoc11 February 2019
This begins with the murder of a model who hasn't worked in two years. After the forensic exam, it is found that she died of nicotine poisoning delivered through the scalp. Her husband, a famous movie star, has a boat and was two-timing her to the nth degree. It all involves a set up of lies he used to seduce these women, wishing he could marry them but for a prenup. He is very handsome and they are easy targets, each thinking she is the only one.

Ever think that one of these women might take you seriously?

Warning: Spoilers
A well written and performed who-done-it when clues are initially sparse and it is a priority homicide because it has celebrity connections. The indifference from Pope to Taylor and even the senior-most-officers are revealed once again, showing no respect for Brenda. She does persevere, however, with her due diligence. Brenda's words of wealth to Gabriel, if you can't interview the suspect, you find what you can about the victim.

First visit is Jennifer, Heather's pregnant hairdresser, saying she had a 11:30 lunch appointment, and normally she performed her hair appointment in the shop, but Heather insisted she meet her in her home that morning, be here by eight were Heather's exact words. Second stop, Janine, Heather's Personal Shopper, black and red dress for Brenda. Janine's husband left her because of Dean, win some and lose some, she tells Brenda. Third, Isabelle, makeup artist for Heather, added eyelashes to Brenda, gave the restaurant name location for her 11:30 appointment; get a divorce first, he made a play for me in front of his wife. Fourth, Allison Metcalfe, I am Dean's alibi, Brenda responds, oh no Miss Metcalfe, you're his motive.

Brenda interviews Dean Kingsley for the second time with his real attorney present. Brenda says he doesn't need to talk, just listen. Brenda tells Dean he is responsible for his wife's death. Telling all these women the lies with a non-existent prenup. Being out on your boat when your wife is murdered is too much even for Hollywood standards. Did you ever think that one of these women might take you seriously? I would like you to make a list of all these women you have played this game with over the last three years, handing Dean a pen and paper. And I would like you to sign this custody agreement, because I am going to need it to make my case, showing the agreement to his attorney, before she put it in front of him to sign first.

Brenda returns to the hair salon on the premise she can't seem to get her hair the way it was before. Jennifer hears about the latest girlfriend, a restaurant manager from Beverly Hills, and Dean with a good alibi, on his sailboat with that manager. Brenda says the hairdo you gave me was the same as the one you gave the woman who played opposite him in his last movie. I looked it up on the crew list, that is how you knew him. Tell me Jennifer, did he ever take you sailing?

You washed Heather's hair and conditioned it just you always do, but you wore gloves because you didn't want to get any of the nicotine on your hands, and after you massaged it in, she went into the shower to shave her legs, and you waited until she died. And then you went into clean up a little, you took the razor by mistake, to be neat, and on the way home, you got rid of the poison, the gloves and the razor along with anything else.

Gabriel hands Jennifer the agreement where Dean Kingsley signed away his parental rights, provided you tell us where you dumped the cleanup materials. Jennifer complies with the request, giving the location of the stuff she tossed. Brenda told her if she got an attorney, she would tear up the agreement, and Dean and the new girlfriend would sail off with her new baby. Jennifer signs the agreement, acknowledging her criminal act.
