* SpottingTheThread: Falsone and Stivers first get suspicious about the Burke murder because Loren Burke was found dead flat on his back, with the bedclothes neatly covering him, and the bullet holes in the bedclothes exactly lined up with those in the body, which conflicts with Eleanor's claim that she shot him in a panic when he verbally abused her and then started to get out of bed.
