Mystery of Zaroff Case Hints at Wealthy Suspect
Police and officials discuss a probable motive for the Zaroff murder. A theory centers on a wealthy man in a private car who stops at a roadside inn and is followed by a thief hoping to rob him after he leaves a public bar. The group questions whether Mazaroff was the target or Mercheison, and asks why the killer would take Musgrave's gun.
