Identity
Daphne Hitchens returns home with her two kids, and finds her husband shot to death. She doesn't know why he wasn't at work, but it turns out he lost his job nine months before, and had been living off a $400,000 mystery deposit. Hitchens got the money in a very circuitous fashion, working backwards, from cashier's checks to the sale of diamonds to money from the refinancing of a Harlem brownstone. The brownstone belonged to an elderly black man named Lonnie Jackson, but he defaulted on his payments. It takes Briscoe and Green awhile to find Lonnie and when they do, it's discovered he's a proud, hardworking man who has some senility issues. His prints were found in Hitchens' apartment and it also appears Hitchens had assumed Lonnie's identity.
