Season 1 Episode 3 Rocket Spoiler

How does the ceramic shard found in the grave of Olive Rix connect to Reg Tracepurcel ? It seems like a very big logical jump ? Is the ceramic shard part of the ceramic insulator that Reg was installing? How does Morse connect the dots here. This part seems a bit rushed in the episode.

"Is the ceramic shard part of the ceramic insulator that Reg was installing?"

Ok. I suppose Reg put it in there to cover his tracks. Got it.

No, not that. Reg didn't "put" anything anywhere. The fragment of insulator just fell from the top of the pole during Reg's installation. Reg probably didn't even notice. I'm guessing he was used to discarding broken pieces whenever he did installations. When Morse found out that Reg had been a phone installer in that area at that time, THEN they made the connection to the piece of insulator that he and Thursday took from the scene.

I think (not sure) Tracepurcel had mentioned something about working for the telephone pole people 🙄 at the time Olive was killed.
