Abstract

One of the original things about the Columbo television series was that you got to see the murderer commit a murder, and then got to watch Peter Falk try to learn what you already knew over the course of the rest of the program. Columbo would always go to the scene of the crime and view the carefully preserved murder site with his own eyes. Forensic staff, fully equipped with appropriate state-of-the-art investigative equipment, were there already collecting the on-site information he’d need to solve the crime, and he’d make his own unique, disruptive contributions to the process.
