Complete story — includes the ending

A former showgirl is found dead of an apparent suicide shortly before her tell-all memoir is to be published, but Monk suspects one of her past lovers, a famous astronaut ( Jeffrey Donovan ), of murdering her. To prove it, though, he must break the man's unassailable alibi that he was orbiting the Earth at the time, and also figure out a connection to a mail-stealing neighbor whose garage door opener has gone haywire.
