Newlywed and Dead

The two stars, Alexa PenaVega (Allie Adams) and Carlos PenaVega (Sam Acosta), have been married since 2014.

The detective states that the murder bullet, a 9mm, came from a Beretta 84. The 380 ACP, or 9 mm short, an extremely common handgun ammunition. The first issue is that the round fired by the model 84 would be referred to in the US as a 380, not a 9mm- which is used for the 9mm parabellum. The other detective makes the same 9mm error later when the murder weapon is found.

Next, while it is possible to determine the possible MAKE of a gun via the lands and grooves from a fired round, there is no way to determine which MODEL it came from since gun makers offer several models in the same caliber that use the same land and groove pattern. In this case, the Beretta 83 and 85 also use the same 380 round. The 84 and 85 have the same barrel, while the 83 uses a slightly longer barrel.

Detective Acosta sets up a chess board to play his chess by mail game, but the board is set up wrong. On the rank closest to the player, the square at the right corner should be white, not black. The board is rotated 90 deg to make the pieces sit on the wrong squares.
