matches to Charlie Herrin. During the SWAT team raid of Herrin's apartment, Herrin takes Monk hostage. Wyatt proposes shooting through Monk to get Herrin, prompting Herrin to give himself up. Forensic teams find dozens of left running shoes, including those taken from the three known victims of the Golden Gate Strangler. Monk believes that the other left shoes were simply stolen, not killed for. The mayor holds a press conference in which he personally gives Bertrum Gruber the $250,000 reward for the capture of the Golden Gate Strangler, commends Monk for keeping the city safe, and derides the strikers. Stottlemeyer rebukes Monk for publicly endorsing the mayor and his belittling of the strikers, but Natalie argues that Monk deserves to enjoy the fulfillment of his dream to the fullest. The next morning, the detectives go over the four open murder cases (Allegra Doucet, John Yamada, Diane Truby and Scott Eggers). Porter points out that except for Doucet, all of the victims are 44 years old, and were born on the same date: February 20, 1962. Monk and Natalie return to Doucet's house with Chow. They find that the last astrological chart Doucet brought up was for someone born in San Francisco on February 20, 1962. Monk hypothesizes that Doucet was killed while a client was in the bathroom. The client stepped out in time to see the killer, then fled out the window, breaking the towel rack in the process. The killer used the astronomical chart to narrow down the witness to someone born in San Francisco on that date. Officer Curtis calls Natalie to report a new homicide. The victim is Officer Kent Milner. Many of the "sick" detectives return to work, in order to investigate the murder of one of their own. Monk looks in Milner's car, and sees that Milner was looking at new homes in Marin County and Hawaii travel brochures, like he had money to spend. Milner was at the lowest paying rank in the department. Monk arrests Madam Frost for the murders of Allegra Doucet, John Yamada, Diane Truby and Scott Eggers. Doucet was taking clients away from Madam Frost. Madam Frost confesses to the murders. Porter puts together a list of possible witnesses to Doucet's murder and finds Tono Busok, who did not come to the police out of fear that his video bootlegging operation would be discovered. Milner's arrest sheet shows that
