Richard Diamond 50-08-09 (059) Edna Wolfe Case
Summary
Richard Diamond investigates a suspected affair for Edna Wolfe, only to discover her husband, George, fleeing a murder scene. Diamond and Lieutenant Levinson uncover evidence linking George to the victim, Nancy Fowler, but inconsistencies in the timeline and phone records suggest a frame-up. The detective tracks down nightclub owner Eddie Young, who reveals Edna orchestrated the murder to secure a divorce and financial gain. Diamond exposes the plot by proving Edna planted the weapon and jewelry, leading to her arrest and the revelation that she had been manipulating the situation all along.
