Captain Stottlemeyer: Listen to this. This is, uh, news from around the world. Paris, France. There is an unsolved murder. A woman was found strangled and both of her hands were cut off.
Sharona: Oh, my God.
Lieutenant Disher: No, it happens all the time. No fingerprints makes it harder to I.D. the body.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Now, here's the thing. They found the hands. They were a couple of meters away from the body in the grass.
Adrian Monk: The killer cut off both hands but then left them near the body?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah. Yeah, she and her husband both worked as curators at the prison museum in the Bastille.
Adrian Monk: Prison museum.
