The habits of the woman include having a purse? Isn't that one of the first things that you would look for after a break in? What do these investigators learn at school?

uhhh, i think the key word above is "regularly." like most women, she probably had several purses, and the police saw these. now they know a purse is missing, so it's pretty good police work so far.

I agree with Rickyvee! Now they should search for her bank book, and near-by relatives that needed money.
