'''Final clue/twist:''' Columbo's encounter with Brower's loose chimpanzee brings him the final clue. He confronts Lamarr with the fact that the ape's fingerprints are on the costume he wore (for the first time) at the time of the murder, although Lamarr claimed that he was at a party all night. '''Final clue/twist:''' The night of the murder, Brower was taking care of a friend's chimpanzee. Columbo learns that the chimp liked to handle shiny objects, and finds the chimp's fingerprints on a medallion that was part of Lamarr's Halloween costume, proving that Lamarr was at Brower's apartment that night.

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.
