A witness reports seeing a long-haired woman in a white raincoat fleeing the scene, wiping something that looked like a gun.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
