I will be surprised if nobody found this yet. I searched Matlock or Columbo in Google and found excerpts from this book called "Why They Changed The Bible: One World Bible For One World Religion" which read "Deborah and I have loved to watch Inspector Poirot, Columbo, Perry Mason, Matlock, and a number of other mystery shows. We love assembling the clues and watching the characters, to see if any of those clues give away whodunnit. But nothing is a mystery to god"
So… Am I reading too much into this?
