The twist at the end when they all go to Jessup's "apartment" led by The Killer, the Deputy Commissioner, is the best twist I ever saw.. This was really a great episode, and Richard Kiley was outstanding.
When Columbo turns to Jessup and says "They say that they found these jewels in your apartment" You expect one of 2 things to happen.. For Jessup to say: "I wouldn't steal those, they're fake!" For the officer Columbo called in with him to say:"I saw you come in here and plant them Commissioner" But you do NOT expect Columbo to reveal it is HIS apartment... That was perfect... I love when he says "These are My underwear" and holding up a picture "This is MY brother-in-law"
The Twist also about the Jewelery being sold for fakes was a good plot twist.
The only "Bug" was, that they didn't check the phone companies records to see what number Caldwell called after killing his wife..
