Murder, She Wrote: The Cemetery Vote Rewatch

April 21, 2015 5:18 PM - Season 3, Episode 20

Jessica travels to Comstock, Idaho to mourn a good friend, Jim Stevens, who died in a suspicious in a car accident. JB comes face-to-face with the worst of local politics, when Jim's death looks like to be a murder, due to his effort to be a reform mayor. Jim's wife, Linda, will not accept that Jim was killed, but his father, Harry sees the local sheriff (and mayoral candidate), Orville Yates, as suspect #1. There's illegal gambling, corrupt police, and a town split between Yates and Jim's friend and interim mayor, David Carroll. To make things interesting, Jessica brings in the big guns and calls up the State Police, where she finds Captain Ernest Lenko to be a supporter of Jim Stevens.

One of the very few car chase scenes in the series so far!
