"I’ve seen people put on hats, and then they tie or pin ’em.
In Lidsville there’s no need for that, because they live right in em!" – Lidsville ending theme song, Sid and Marty Krofft.
Yeah, Hatpins are a thing. How do you think big fancy hats stay ON?
Not necessarily. Likely many people present would have been clueless where that pin came from. Her comment can potentially reduce the number of suspects to a group to which she belongs. This would be a really clumsy mistake if she did it, and a really helpful information if she didn’t.
Probably used to modern cop shows, where they act more like secret police with the unspoken phrase ‘you have no need to know’ being deployed against pretty much everybody. Including prosecutors and their immediate superiors.
My guess would be, that like this the murderer also knows how far is the investigation, and can plan and act accordingly. Like, covering up other possible mistakes, hiding further evidence, attempting to murder the investigators, or just escape as long as they can.
But as Columbo showed it numerous time, if the perpetrator thinks they have the perfect alibi, scapegoat and/or any other cover ups, they will feel perfectly safe, until no more questions remain…
So far, this was information known only to the investigators and the murderer. So anyone who somehow let slip (or was tricked into revealing) that they know this is a prime suspect. Making this knowledge public closes one possible avenue of identifying (or more accurately, convicting) the murderer.
Well, that does cost the investigators the option of tricking the killer into condemning themself by blurting out something only the killer could’ve known…
Well, if you join the…order early in life…and if this abbey adopts the whole celibacy for those called "Brothers" from historical Christianity, then goes with the job.
But only with the ifs.
(All with regard to the commentary that is the title).
Also, female Japanese assassins used to use a long pin in their hair to kill their target. They induce them into an embrace, then while the back of their neck was exposed, plunge a needle (perhaps dipped in poison) into their spine at the back of the neck. Once paralysed they could go about slowly murdering them at leisure.

It’s not just women’s apparel than men don’t understand, it’s women.
Is Brother Wayne meant to be a reference to Johnny Wayne of Wayne and Shuster?
His face kept ringing bells for me in some vague way.
(Innocent whistling and twiddling of thumbs) Don’t know what you’re talking about. Doo de doooooo…
Hmmm hmm hmmm

The casino tapestries on the wall are a nice touch.

And the Abbott just goes around running his mouth about all the details of the investigation, does he?
Your condemnatory syntax indicates you think this is a problem.
Explain to us why.

No.
That opportunity was lost during the examination itself.
