Captain Stottlemeyer: What do you got?
Adrian Monk: It's an earring. One earring. She took it off. And this is a first aid handbook. Did someone try to treat her?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I asked the owners. That book normally lives on the shelf down below. It was open like that when they found her.
Natalie: Maybe the killer felt bad, like remorse, and tried to help her.
Adrian Monk: There's blood on the book. But the countertop underneath is clean.
Natalie: What does that mean?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It means it was already there. It was already like that when she was killed.
Natalie: So the killer opened the book to the page about head trauma before he hit her over the head?
Adrian Monk: So it would appear.
