| ShortSummary=Wade Anders (]) is a former security expert and host of the popular ''Dateline''-esque crime show ''CrimeAlert''. One day, he gets an unexpected visit one night from his rival, chain-smoking newscaster Budd Clarke (]), who Anders beat to the position of ''CrimeAlert'' host. Clarke has received a porn video from a friend of his starring a young Anders. He warns Anders that he plans to go public with the tape unless Anders resigns from the show. Clarke hasn't really given him a lot of options, and Anders decides to kill him. To do so, he palms a pack of Clarke's cigarettes, which he doctors by putting a few drops of the ] poison nicotine sulfate into them. Anders then makes two trips to his production office - one that night and one the next morning - so as to doctor the surveillance tape there so that it will look like he arrived early to do some weekend work and was in the office all day, and left for a party after the murder was committed. Anders then drives to Clarke's house, where he takes advantage of Clarke setting up the porn video tape to switch one of his cigarette packs for the poisoned pack. Once the poison kills Clarke, Anders makes it look like Clarke had a heart attack at his desk while looking over a potential news story. The intellectually limited Anders makes some serious mistakes, making Columbo's job easy, and suggesting that Budd Clarke would have made a superior crime show host. | ShortSummary=Wade Anders (]) is a former security expert and host of the popular ''America's Most Wanted''-esque crime show ''CrimeAlert''.
