I love Monk as a show but did they not even think about this plot for one minute? It makes no sense at all. The killer admits from the start that he knew the victim. He tells Captain Stottlemeyer that, "we had a fight and she left" meaning she was in his home. Later, the case seems to hinge on them finding DNA in the garage. Why wouldn't the killer just say, "yeah so? I've already said she was here. She's been in the garage getting out of my car. If you find DNA it means nothing other than she was here which I've already admitted to." Maybe if they found blood they could say violence had occurred but Monk actually says even a strand of hair would do it, which makes no sense.
Later they link the commissioner's toupe to the victim. Again, so what? It proves she sold her hair to a wig maker, that's it. They still haven't found her DNA in the garage and even if they did, that still proves nothing!
I get that this show is largely a comedy but typically they at least get the plot basics right. It seems odd that nobody thought about this one long enough to realize how little sense it makes.
Also that the Captain's wife is filming an all-access documentary without the Commissioner's knowledge, and then even once he finds out he doesn't stop it but rather is openly berating everyone in front of the camera? Again I understand it's a vehicle for the jokes but they really kind of jumped the shark on this one.
