THURSDAY'S THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY - THE O'CONNOR SISTERS



Tracy O’Connor was a delusional young woman who thought that she had talent as an artist and who believed that art critic Dale Kingston loved her as much as she loved him.  But all he longed for was the possession of the artwork owned by his Uncle Rudy, and he only had interest in Tracy for as long as was needed to establish his alibi in the murder of Rudy Matthews and to retrieve the supposedly stolen art which he had left in her care.  Kingston made her murder look like a traffic accident just as he made his uncle’s murder look like a burglary gone wrong.


Tracy O’Connor was only 33 when she died.

Nine years later, the audience of the Trueniverse was given the chance to meet Tracy’s identical twin sister, Gwen Kingsley, the wife of Los Angeles judge David Kingsley (a cousin to rising entertainer Hank Kingsley.)  


In her own way, Gwen was just as deluded as her late sister, thinking that her marriage was perfect.  She never had a clue that Judge Kingsley had a need to frequent hookers he picked up in North Hollywood.  Eventually he was caught, thanks to the combined efforts of private eye Barnaby Jones and LAPD detective Tom Gibson with his uncle, W.W. DiAngelo, a reporter and columnist for the Los Angeles Chronicle.


JUDGE DAVID KINGSLEY

Gwen Kingsley probably never remarried and may have reverted to her maiden name of O'Connor.  She passed away a few years ago at the age of 77.  Judge Kingsley died in prison years before.  (If I'm not mistaken, he was shanked by someone he had sentenced to a life sentence.)

I speculate enough as it is with these theories of relateeveety so I’m not going to pretend I know what was going on in her mind.  But I wonder if Gwen ever thought about the odd coincidence that both she and Tracy had their lives ruined by the men they loved, both of whom had surnames beginning with “King” and first names beginning with “Da” – Dale Kingston for Tracy, and David Kingsley for herself.


Or maybe it’s just me who is interested in onomastics…..

Another ‘Columbo’ theory of relateeveety submitted for your approval….

BCnU!
