'The Case of the Purloined Letter' is an episode in the 1979-80 TV series titled 'Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson' based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters.
Dr. Shipman is a very interesting case. I believe the primary reason for the murders of so many of his patients was one of gain. He profitted from their death, whether it was cash, cars, real estate or other types of wealth. But I don't think it was the sole reason. I believe that as time went on Shipman began to enjoy the deaths just for themselves. As American Dr. H.H. Holmes did in 19th century Chicago, so too did Shipman. Holmes killed primarily for profit but it is also known that he waited outside his personally constructed 'gas chamber' listening to his victims gasping for breath, enjoying the entire process. Shipman and Mudgett (Holmes real name) were 'cut from the same cloth'.
Kate tries to steal the case from Sawyer in the 12th episode of season one, Titled: Whatever the case may be.
The following case reveals the difficulty in detecting murder by poison, as well as the addictive nature of the crime. It should also be noted that 6 months before Shipman was finally brought to trial he was exonerated by an investigation undertaken by two police detectives. This enquiry was conducted following the official voicing of suspicions raised by the high mortality rate among Dr. Harold Shipman's patients. But the English police officers chose to accept the word of the doctor under investigation rather than the undeniable evidence of the death rate among those he treated.
