a glance at evidence from a pre-DNA testing era solves a cold case. Yawn. Not a whole story...your time travel/cowboy stories are better.

Is this Harmon story a one-off or will it blossom into a collection? As you know I like all your stuff. The inverse seems to be more frequent, the demonstration that some poor guy did not commit the rape, twenty years afterwards...

Make sure that Judy Swanson gets the news! That should add in a little bit of FUN in the next chapter!

For sharing.

Scientific advancements may not be as exciting as shootouts but they can solve decades old crimes that otherwise would remain unsolved. There is a special place in heaven for good cops, just as there is a special place in hell for bad ones. All too often the good cops suffer for the bad acts of the bad ones, so it's good to read a story about how a good cop works to see justice done.

As per usual this author always writes excellent well written stories that I look forward to reading.

Boring, like listening to someone saying the alphabet or watching the news on a slow day.

No clever twists, just "These guys did it, now I can prove it".

Stick to your fiction.

if they worked for the old lady there would LIKELY be DNA in lots of places. there might even be DNA of the evil grand daughter every where. SO does a cig butt with DNA from a worker prove they killed her??? NOPE not even close blo...

In all likely hood the evidence that was in the box wax scattered around the deceased body not just any old place on the premises. That is why it is evidence. Had it been found any other place than that it would not be admissible in court.

So before you go running off at the mouth and showing your ignorance please do us all a favor and use your head for something other than a hat rack.

The detective did not produce a photograph showing where the cigarette butts and pen were found. The bothers routinely entered the house so they could have just dropped theses items the day before. There is no proof that they were at the house on the day of the murder. The old lady could have been cleaning up the cigarette butts and pen when she was attacked from behind. This evidence is insufficient for absolute proof! The police need a witness who places the bothers at the house in the time window of the murder.

DNA on bloody gloves sure seems like evidence.

I hope this story is the start of a new detective series.

DNA sequencing was in its infancy for police work.

Well done, Sir! Well done!

Excellent detective tale. Well worth the read.
