| ShortSummary=Domineering radio host Fielding Chase (]) faces a crisis when his ward, 25-year-old Victoria Chase (]), decides to spread her wings and leave for New York. Chase is a national celebrity thanks to his call-in radio show and while Victoria works as his producer, his affection for her runs deep. An ex-employee, the homosexual Gerry Winters (Jack Laufer), has been encouraging Victoria and has even found a literary agent for her book. Chase decides to kill Winters. He first instructs Winters to call him at a certain time. Exactly at that appointed hour, Chase drives to Winters's house and sneaks inside. Winters makes the phone call, unaware that Chase is actually behind him in the same room. Once the phone goes to voicemail, Chase picks up an extension in another room of Winters' house and begins speaking with him. At that point, Chase enters the next room and shoots Winters, then makes it look like Winters was shot by a gay lover. | ShortSummary=Domineering radio host Fielding Chase (]) faces a crisis when his ward, 25-year-old Victoria Chase (]), decides to spread her wings and leave for New York.

'''Final clue/twist:''' A cell phone is a key to Columbo's solution of the crime. Columbo realizes that Chase could not have called 911 to report the murder (which he claimed to overhear on the phone from his mountain home) while speeding in his car down the mountain road, as there is no cell coverage where his car would have been.

List of episodes

The final 14 episodes of Columbo were produced sporadically as a series of specials, spanning 13 years from 1990 to 2003. These episodes have since been released on DVD in several regions as "season 10". Two of the episodes, "No Time to Die" and "Undercover", were based on 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain and thus do not follow the usual Columbo format.
