Casey, Crime Photographer
Woman of Mystery
by
Woman of Mystery is a repeat of Mysterious Lodger, one of the worst episodes of the series. This time, the corpus delecti is an attractive young woman who has been stabbed in the back by an obviously powerful man. The police discover that she has been a convicted murderess herself, having stabbed her lover and spent several years in prison for her crime.
Her landlady mentions that the brother of the man she murdered has been seen hanging around her lately. When the cops go to bring him in, he shoots it out with them and is killed in the process. It seems like an open and shut case, but Casey arrives on the scene and corroborates the story from the young woman's landlady. He suspects that the case is not as straightforward as it appears.
Casey develops a theory that the police hadn't even considered, revealing the peculiar quirks of human nature that ultimately point to the real murderer—the landlady herself. Eva Condon's role has changed from Mrs. Myers in Mysterious Lodger to Mrs. Banks.
