Murder, She Wrote, Season 11

Denise Naveau:
[after Jessica exposes her as the murderer] I smuggled for Edmond for several years. Usually it was one or two stones at a time, but now, he needed money badly for this venture with Madame Vaughn. So he wanted me to move all of these stones all at once. I was taking an enormous risk. He was using me, and he would continue to use me. So, when the opportunity came to acquire the gun, I took it. After the rehearsal, I called Edmond. He said that he would meet me and give me the jewels. We agreed on a time. I waited for him to come out of his apartment and get into his car. And then I shot him. I knew who he dealt with in New York. No questions would be asked. I would have all the money, not just the fee. I took the jewels and hurried back here before anyone missed me. With those, I thought perhaps I could enjoy my life again.

Paul Vaughn:
Weren't you enjoying life, Denise?

Denise:
Come to think of it, I suppose I was.
