Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Visits a Farm
Adrian Monk: Where was the pig? Lieutenant Disher: She was right there on the road. Adrian Monk: So according to the police, your uncle was driving home, lost control of the truck, and accidentally ran over Nadine, his beloved prize-winning 200-pound pig. Lieutenant Disher: She was Pig of the Year three years in a row. Adrian Monk: Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to to meet her. So he-- he hit Nadine, and then he careened off the road and into the electric fence. And he realized what he had done. "Oh, my God, I killed the Pig of the Year." And he was so depressed, he was- He was so overcome with grief, that he grabbed the rifle from that gun rack and killed himself. Lieutenant Disher: Right. That's the official version. But look at this. Uncle Harvey kept a handgun under the seat. Why didn't he just use it? It would have been a lot easier. Adrian Monk: So you think he was killed by somebody who didn't know about the handgun.
