The Columbo Wiki

Whitehead was an employee of the Shangri-La Motel in Mind Over Mayhem.

Mr Whitehead was used as a witness by Lieutenant Columbo when he was framing Neil Cahill for the murder of Professor Howard Nicholson. Mr Whitehead testified that he had seen Neil and Howard's wife, Dr Margaret Nicholson, checking into the Shangri-La Motel together. It's unclear whether Mr Whitehead is an actual employee of the motel or if Columbo enlisted his help to fabricate this story in order to finally bust Marshall Cahill for killing Howard.

Mr Whitehead was played by Bert Holland.
