I'm watching the episode "Make Me a Perfect Murder", Kay (played by Trish Van Devere) kills the Lawrence Luckinbill character and she disposes of the gun by throwing it on the roof of the elevator. I never understood why she would do this? Why wouldn't she take the gun and throw it in the ocean or something? And then later on, she goes back and strains to retrieve the same gun. She is practically beside herself with anxiety and fear. What would cause her to have a complete turnaround? I don't get it. It's not like she didn't think things through completely.
I do love this episode. It's one of my favorites.
But any insights would be great!

I never thought about that. I guess the elevator was handy and she probably thought at the time it was well hidden

It's just that she freaks out later on when she sees the gun is still up there. I mean I doubt that she would have forgotten that. Kay Freestone was too a smart and too cunning a person to goof up that way. And in spite of not being what I would call a lovable person, I found her to be very sympathetic. She got done wrong. I hate the way Patrick O'Neal dismisses her in the limousine near the end of the story. Are you a fan of "Columbo", Nan?

They have to have that drama of her getting worried about the gun being exposed Did you like the one with Lindsey Crouse where she saw her lover cheating on her?

That's one I haven't seen.
I used to catch them on A&E in the 90s but have been watching some on file.
Started with the first two pilots.
I like it when I find one I have not seen before.
I read the other day there's a statue of Columbo and "Dog" in Budapest, Hungary.

Tell me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember that she put the gun up there to hide it and thought it was a safe place. But I also seem to recall that Colulmbo said or did something to make her fearful that it would be located. But he had tricked her because it was her return for the gun to re-hide it that was proof that she was the murderer.
