Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan
Monk-Mr. Monk is on the case when Marci Maven, his obsessed fan, has a dog that is suspected of killing her neighbor, nly one problem, the dog’s dead. She shows up at Monk’s door, scared, although still obsessed with him, he refuses to answer and sends Natalie instead. Later at a bachelor auction, however, Marci get her wish as she buys Monk for 6 hours for a mere $800. At Marci’s house, Monk finds several creepy dioramas and pictures of himself, even a corner in her kitchen dedicated to him. Monk then decides to take her case. They go outside too the shed where they found the body, but Monk notices that all of the tools were in place, something that wouldn’t be true if she was being attacked. Monk also found the hole that the dog supposedly crawled through, but the dirt was on the wrong side of the fence, and a dead tulip matched the one on the shovel in the shed. Marcithen talks about the last time she had seen the dog, and how he showed up at her house after dissapearing for several hours covered in wood shavings like mahogany. They then visit five wood factories, eventually discovering the victim’s husband works at one. And after Monk finds some molding material, he solves the case, but not before the husband can attempt to kill them, and shoot Marci. The captain and lieutenant came in and took the killer away.
Here’s what happened:A couple of weeks ago, the victims husband found out the perfect alibi to kill his wife. Marci’s dog had attacked before, so evryone would think that if she was killed, it would be the dog. So he kidnapped the dog, drugged him, and then made a mold of his teeth, and then a edge-clippers like design with his teeth mold on the end. The dog accidentally ingested part of the mold when it was being made, and that’s what caused him to die. He then killed his wife, and made it look like the dog bit her a couple of times. Only one problem:He was framing a dead dog!
