An “Elementary” Westport Murder

I’m not a fan of “Elementary.” In fact, until this week, I’d never heard of the CBS detective show.

But my great, longtime friend Neil Brickley is. And even though he no longer lives here, he keeps up with the 06880 (and “06880”).

Last week’s episode caught his eye. The plot involved a murder that took place 20 years earlier. The victim was stabbed to death on a street, and the case had gone cold.

“Elementary'”s writers could have chosen anywhere for their fictional murder. It might have been New York, or a made-up place like Mayberry or Mayfield.

But the murder took place in Westport.

We’ve come quite a way from the days when Lucy Ricardo accidentally destroyed our Minuteman statue.
