My fave part of Murder, She Wrote is that only the killer lies & then confesses when presented with circumstantial evidence. Jessica is honestly blessed with magical power (I believe her to be unaware of this) & people not only can't lie to her she is NEVER WRONG ABOUT ANYONE.
This bitch just got pushed down the stairs and is totally fine. My headcannon is unshakable on this point: she is magical and an unknowing avatar of a justice-dedicated psychopomp.
This belief is a result of a fabulous Tumblr post I read a few years ago but the more I watch the more convinced I am she's magic. http://sideburnpower.tumblr.com/post/140769477473/unicornempire-thefingerfuckingfemalefury
Jessica inherited an American Football team and is at a formal (but not black tie) party and some attendees are naked to the waist and wearing only towels.
Me: hey, that dude looks like Dick Butkus! Ha ha. Football, I get it.

Caitlyn Jenner is also in this episode and because she's been accused of the murder I know it can't be her because Jessica liked her immediately even though they met when Caitlyn's daughter almost killed her by running her over with a golf cart shaped like a giant helmet.
I've been trying to figure out what I recognized the killer from (the killer is almost always someone you recognize, FYI) and I looked him up & he's the father of a high school friend. OoooOOOOoooo

Proof:
In Murder Takes the Bus a dude who is MARRIED TO REGAN MACNEIL is on the bus specifically to confront the murder victim. JBF questions him & instead of lie he says, "I don't have to answer yr questions"
I just think his wife played by Linda Blair is relevant.

Me, lecturing Big Daddy about my theory about Jessica Fletcher: so she is definitely supernatural.
Big Daddy: ok, this is too deep for this show.

Piper Laurie, to a beefcake detective: Jessica can help.
Beefcake detective: yeah, that would be great. You covered a lot in your books.
JBF: I have a lot of experience.
Like, what detective is all, "fuck yeah random lady! Help me solve this murder!”?
She's magical.

Jessica just healed a choking victim I swear to God.
NYC detective letting Jessica interrogate people when her niece is the prime suspect.
Her prints were on the only ones murder weapon. Jessica is allowed to help clear her name.
Unrelated to Jessica's magic (maybe? ooooOOOOoooo) but I love that there are palm trees & it never snows in Cabot Cove, ME.
Boston detective, to Jessica: you're the prime suspect bc you're the only person who knew it was murder. You also told several people the method of murder. Stay in town.
Jessica: I didn't do it.
Boston detective: I believe you didn't do it. How about you help me solve this bitch?
Jessica: I didn't do it.
Boston detective: I believe you didn't do it. How about you help me solve this bitch?
Local detective out of his depth, refuses to call the State Police for help: Mrs Fletcher, you're in charge.

Jessica is staying with Seth's brother (the victim) & local cop doesn't believe she's a writer - he thinks she's from the govt & is letting her investigate.
Cop asks if Seth is "one of us". This cop is also supernatural, obvs. He just doesn't get Jessica doesn't know.

Jessica, white lady from BFE, Maine, knows a LOT about the different religions and festivals of India. Fair play.
One of the most striking things about Murder, She Wrote (aside from Jessica's magical power) is that Jessica must get MILES of dick. Literally every episode there is some dude who is willing to contribute a few inches to the cause.
USAF Major played by Shaft investigating a 30 year old crime tells Jessica her husband was the murderer.
Jessica: Frank didn't do it. I want to see your files.
Major Shaft: no.
Jessica: I will not accept this. I'm going to investigate this myself.
Everyone: ok!
Jessica: Frank didn't do it. I want to see your files.
Major Shaft: no.
Jessica: I will not accept this. I'm going to investigate this myself.
Everyone: ok!
Jessica: there was a stowaway on the military plane who did it.
Everyone: that makes sense.
What? Like... what?

Suit shows up in Cabot sheriff's office: I'm looking for Mildred.
Sheriff: why?
Suit: it's confidential.
Sheriff: we are investigating a murder, nothing is confidential!
Suit: *looks at Jessica*
Sheriff: she's helping me
Suit: Mildred is the sole heir to a fortune of $5m
Sheriff: why?
Suit: it's confidential.

BITCH, I THOUGHT IT WAS CONFIDENTIAL!!
Jessica is in Soviet Russia (no clue why) but the KGB are allowing her access to all their files & info in order to clear her (CONFESSED) dissident friend in the murderer of an undercover KGB officer.
The only person in this episode who thinks it's weird is a KGB official who is depressed they don't disappear people anymore.
Jessica just had a reunion with a dude (on parole) she helped put away for the murder of three people and he keeps having these lusty, romantic flashbacks about the time he met her for like one day before she helped the police nail his ass.
And Jessica just got chloroformed by an intruder and the chloroform didn't work.
Jessica has started wearing brooches that look like badges and all I can think of is this.
