No Accounting for Murder - S3-E19
Question: Why did the Phantom run out of nowhere after tying up the killer when Grady came into the room with Jessica? Did the Phantom try to avoid being seen by others except Jessica?
Question: Why did lieutenant Kale reopen the investigation? He already got away with murder.
Answer: He's a dirty cop and if you remember, a former con knew Kale killed his late partner and was blackmailing him. They'd arranged to meet at the place where the crime occurred for the payoff. So he had to have a good excuse for being at the scene of the crime when the police would come after he'd killed the ex con.
Answer: Yes, he didn't want to be a hero. He liked being the Phantom going anywhere and doing what he pleases with people thinking there was a ghost.
