Regarding the possible involvement of Margaret Gibson (Patricia Palmer) in the Taylor murder, the natural question arises: Where was she when the murder took place? Was she even in Los Angeles? No solid answer has yet appeared for the latter question, but here are a few historical clues and possible indicators:

- In the script for Cold Feet, most of Margaret Gibson's scenes were indoors, shot at the studio. The script (courtesy of William J. Mann) can be seen here .
