Goofs

The series often use actual people to play the numerous dead people in the cases. Due to this, the "dead bodies'" eyelashes are often seen moving. Small movement is understandable, but in some episodes, the movement is way too revealing.

dedication

This episode was dedicated to Owen Wolfe - who was he? Enjoyed the episode but once again a TV show puts a dedication on the end but they never tell you who the person is that they are dedicating the episode to. I have looked on the net but can't find Owen Wolfe anywhere. Does anyone know who this person is? Would appreciate it any information. Thank you. Now I'll just have to fill space because they want 10 lines So this will be my last, well apparently it's not all, I have to keep typing until it tells me I can post my question. They must get a lot of people just gabbing away on here - let's try now. So now I'll just type some things like we went to the beach today and the wind was pretty cold but the kids enjoyed it. Hopefully it will warm up tomorrow and especially on Saturday since we will be going to Toronto for the weekend. Maybe this will be enough - if nothing else it helps with the typing practice. so thank you for listening and hopefully someone will have an answer for me.
