June calls on a lady who claims her husband wants to kill her but the threat is 4 years old. Her husband smothered the baby with a pillow. Melvin investigates a break-in of a building which has both outside doors wedged open and all the windows open including a display window. Melvin is called to another break-in with the same m.o. but the burglar was surprised before he could open all the doors.
