Texas millionaire Beau Williamson is angry at architect Elliot Markham (Patrick O'Neal) who convinced his young wife Jennifer (Pamela Austin) into supporting Markham's project. He keeps a tight rein on his money and he's not about to spend it on Markham. Markham has other plans. Columbo (Peter Falk) is called in by Beau's first wife Goldie Williamson (Janis Paige) who claims that he's gone missing.
It's a much tougher murder case when there is no body. That's the interesting part of this investigation. Columbo can have his suspicions. Until he finds the body, he has no case. I love the government bureaucratic wall, but the very next scene is them start digging. It needs an extra scene in between where Columbo gets Goldie to call the mayor. That would be helpful. I do like the conclusion. I really love the conclusion and that makes this one of the better episodes.
