    There's even an old Dragnet episode with a locked room 'murder' mystery plot:

    - Man with gun enters home to confront his mother-in-law, and shoots the Bible she's reading

    - The mother-in-law shoots the man, but the wound is not immediately fatal.

    - Man stumbles into an adjacent study and locks the door behind him, then dies.

    - Initially suicide is assumed, but the ballistics don't match the gun in his hand.

    - The bullet he fired is stuck in the Bible he shot, undetected by anyone.

    Kind of lame and contrived by comparison to Poe and others, but for a 1967 TV show...
