The Murdoch Mysteries S2004E02 - Poor Tom is Cold

When Constable Oliver Wicken is found shot through the head in the basement of an abandoned house, everyone but Detective Murdoch seems satisfied to put it down to suicide. A gun and a note were found on the scene but the trajectory of the bullet raises doubt. Using unproven techniques such as taking fingerprints off the weapon, Murdoch satisfies himself that he has a case of murder. Working with the medical examiner, Dr. Julia Ogden, he is able to demonstrate that Wicken had been in proximity to a blond woman prior to his death. When Murdoch learns that Wicken was secretly engaged, he has a new line of inquiry to pursue. The solution however is found thanks to Murdoch thoroughness and his investigative skills.
