    There were 35 total episodes - 31 on NBC in the original run and 4 on CBS in the brief revival.
    This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

A man who was described as "Italian looking" was observed leaving the area of the murder but is a mystery as is the rest of the crime.
      The aforesaid fleeing man was thought to be the same person seen with Daisy earlier.

        Daisy's "romance" diary didn't lead to any suspects so apparently her killer was a first time chance encounter.

          I don't know if she named names.

            I don't see Daisy listed as a nickname for Dorothy so I don't know where it came from.

              Must have just been a pet name.

                Since I can't find a middle name for Ms. Wallis, perhaps it's possible that one or the other name could have been that.

                  The Wallis slaying actually reminds me of the murder scene of Anna Massey in the Hitchcock film Frenzy. I wonder if he used it as a pattern.

                    Anna Massey, who died rather recently, also played Julia Wallace in The Man From the Pru.

                      I believe Ms. Massey was a British citizen although her father, actor Raymond Massey, was a Canadian who later became an American citizen.

                        Was not the actor Raymond Massey's brother (uncle to Anna) Governor General of Canada in his day?

                        Massey was a superb actor, often in saturnine roles: he was a fantastic Philip of Spain in Fire over England; "Black" Michael in The Prisoner of Zenda; and played multiple roles in Korda's "Things to Come". He ended up playing Dr Gillespie to Richard Chamberlain's Dr Kildare in the 60s.

                            Hi Phil:

                            I believe that's true and also Raymond was the son of the owner of the Massey-Ferguson (then Massey-Harris) Tractor Company. The role I most remember him for is as John Brown the fanatical abolitionist.
                            This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

                              From the same era, Massey also played Lincoln.

                                I'm looking forward to seeing the new Lincoln film.
