Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk and Little Monk
Captain Stottlemeyer: She was your great grandmother? Tell me about her. Sherry Judd: I never met her. She was a famous suffragette. She went to jail for the right to vote. Lieutenant Disher: Maybe they were making a statement. Like a political thing. Captain Stottlemeyer: You mean they broke into the house, and they beat a woman to death, then defaced the painting because they had trouble with the 19th amendment? Lieutenant Disher: Yes. I mean, no. It's a mystery.
