Victim: Charlotte Welch

Killer: C.J. Dobbs

Cause of death: Stabbing

Motive: Threatened to call the police upon finding out Dobbs cheated her out of a valuable piece of land.

Goofs[]

There is a place called Eden, Oregon, but it's in the northwest corner of the state. Driving from Eugene instead of Portland, as Lewis suggests, would add two to three hours to the trip.

Sheriff Landry (Roy Thinnes) wears a shirt that has a special fixture sewn in over the left pocket that holds a badge without making holes in the shirt but he never has a badge on his shirt.

In the opening lunch scene between Jessica and Mary Rose, the letter they're passing between each other has no writing on it.

Only Mary Rose, knew that Charlotte was her sister, yes, others knew that Mary Rose was Charlotte's sister, but where's the story for Eddie Mackle to know where to look for Mary Rose ?
