What you use to trap your victims trapped you

Warning: Spoilers
Well-played episode of a familiar scheme where hitchhikers rob people providing them with a lift based on prior knowledge of the driver carrying cash. After a fatal encounter occurs when the female suspect shoots a driver the Highway Patrol is put into action solving the deadly crime.

Chief Matthews and Officer Morse are at the victim's car and notice the lingering aroma of a perfume.

Chief Matthews commented to Officer Morse, Mr. Childs carried the same perfume scent when he first met Childs in his motel room providing further clues to solving the crime. Matthews and Morse had already discussed the possibility of an organization behind the holdups, a blond and another woman. Someone had to get knowledge of people carrying currency while they traveled, e. G. truck delivery personnel and traveling salesmen were past victims. The cafe owner heard a customer offering a woman a ride, telling Matthews the female hitched a ride with the future victim, Doyle Houston.

Matthews and Morse leave a bluff message to Childs as he sits at the cafe counter when they confidentially plan on following him to his hideout when he leaves the cafe. Dan solicits the help of a young motorist when Childs drives by, Dan calls in the plate number from his car, drives the other car with its owner along requesting the helper to contact the HP to bring backup to Matthews' location.

Dan nabs Childs and one woman outside of the house as Morse pulls up with siren on. Chief Matthews enters the house quickly capturing the other woman with her gun he says the lab with likely identify as the weapon that killed Mr. Houston. The blond asks how did he know she was in the closet, Matthews answers, "your perfume, what you use to trap your victims trapped you." The Blond killer is cuffed and lead out of the house to the awaiting car with her male and other female accomplices.

Parting comment is the clowns at the circus are real funny but on the highway they are murder.

**SPOILERS** That's what caught her (Blondie), her perfume "Midnight Lure". It's a good one, and the only one that Matthews caught that has any chance of a life afterwards is the brunette, Charlene. If she's smart enough, she'll ask to see a district attorney right away, make a deal for at least partial immunity, and sing like a canary. She didn't shoot anyone, but did use a gun. She knew about the other robberies, and she, no doubt could testify that she'd heard Blondie and Childs talking about it. She testifies, throws herself on the mercy of the court, and she might get lucky and draw ten years, or so.

Blondie did the shooting, so she's gonna get the maximum for everything. Her good looks will be long gone by the time she gets out, if she ever does. She and Childs, the mastermind of the little group, who is also gonna get the max are first person murderers and they'll get life for first degree murder. Now, in some states, life meant just exactly that - the rest of your life in prison. In most states, however it could range from actual time of ten to thirty years behind bars. In this case, because there were several hold ups involved, and guns were used, it'll be a long stay.

If Charlene gets lucky, she might actually serve 8-10. Sounds mean to look at it this way, but if justice is served, she get some serious time, too.
