-But surely--
-And there was a small tar stain...

1:03:04
...on the mat, and some
of the fibers show that as well.

1:03:07
There is no question about it.
1:03:10
Wait a minute.
1:03:12
I think I've got it.
1:03:14
Remember when your bag was stolen?.
1:03:16
-Yes.
-Wasn't the key inside?.

1:03:19
Yes, but it was still there
when I got it back.

1:03:22
Now, just a moment.
I'd like to hear about this.

1:03:25
-What sort of bag?.
-A handbag, inspector.

1:03:27
My wife lost it at Victoria Station.
1:03:29
But I got it back from the lost and found
two weeks later.

1:03:32
-Was anything missing?.
-All the money was gone.

1:03:35
-Anything else?.
-No.

1:03:36
-No papers or letters?.
-No.

1:03:40
-Are you quite sure about that?.
-Yes.

1:03:43
And your latchkey was in your handbag
when you lost it?.

1:03:45
Yes, but it was still there
when it was returned.

1:03:48
But whoever stole the money
could have copied the key.

1:03:51
Where was the bag found eventually?.
1:03:52
At Victoria Station.
1:03:55
Wasn't that where you said
you saw this man, sir?.

1:03:58
When did you lose the bag?.
1:03:59
Wasn't it that weekend
we went to visit Peggy?.

1:04:02
Yes, it was. I remember now.
1:04:03
He was sitting in the restaurant.
1:04:05
-Was that where you left your bag?.
-Yes...

1:04:07
...and didn't I say something about,
"There's someone from college?."

1:04:11
-I don't remember.
-That's how he got in.

1:04:13
He made a duplicate and
returned the original to the bag.

1:04:16
Before you go any further with this,
how did he get in through the street door?.

1:04:20
-The street door is never locked.
-I see.

1:04:24
Well, he could have had
your key copied.

1:04:27
And he could have used it
to open the door.

1:04:31
But, of course, he didn't.
1:04:34
-Why not?.
-Because if he had...

1:04:36
...the key would still have
been on him when he died.

1:04:38
But no key was found when
we went through his pockets.

1:04:45
We seem to be back
just where we started.

1:04:48
Well, not quite.
1:04:50
Well, then how did he get in?.
1:04:52
We'd better get all this down on paper.
1:04:54
I'd like you both to make an official
statement before the inquest.

1:04:58
My office is only
moments from here.
