A letter is passed along to Inspector Steven Rockeed's desk. It is addressed to Criminal Investigation Department, New Scotland Yard, and sent from a man named Crittenden, living at Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire. While the Inspector was glancing over it, a visitor was announced. He came in and laid a three day old copy of the Morning Telegraph newspaper on the Inspector's desk. The visitor asks "Are you Inspector Rockeed?" He answers "Yes". The visitor says "My name is Norman Ramsey, formerly of Blackpool, but now a resident in Shepherd's Bush. I've been carrying this paper around for three days". Rockeed asks "Why?" Ramsey says "This article here". Ramsey points to the article. Rockeed reads "Highgate tragedy, bride drowns in bath". He looks at Mr. Ramsey and asks "What about it Mr. Ramsey?" Ramsey says "I've come here because I was a witness to a very similar case two years ago". Rockeed asks "Where, sir?" Ramsey says "In Blackpool, where I formerly lived. A bride drowned in her bath just two days after her wedding". Rockeed asks "What was her name?" Ramsey says "Her name was Brown". Rockeed says "I see. Well, Mr. Ramsey you are to be commended for bringing this to our attention. That was also her husband's name, I assume". Ramsey says "Stanley Brown was his name". Rockeed asks "What happened to him? Do you remember?" Ramsey says "I don't know. He went away the day his wife was buried, in rather a hurry I thought". Rockeed asks "Are you making an accusation Mr. Ramsey?" Ramsey says "I'm just telling you what I know about an extraordinary coincidence". Rockeed asks "Did you know the wife's maiden name?" Ramsey says "I believe it was Crittenden".
