He is tasked to crack the mystery of the missing necklace. With the case now solved in the finale, many have become intrigued to know the criminal’s identity.

Here’s the ending explained of A Man on The Inside.

Who stole the Heirloom necklace in A Man on the Inside?

Gladys Montrose played by Susan Ruttan stole the Heirloom necklace in A Man on the Inside.

The story follows Charles, a widower urged by his daughter Emily to rediscover purpose after retirement. Joining Detective Julie as her investigative assistant, or a man on the inside, Charles is assigned to solve the mystery. It is to find the culprit behind the missing family heirloom necklace. As the series progresses, Charles and Julie work together to untangle the threads of this intriguing case.

In the finale titled “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” the partners in crime-solving finally crack the case. They discover that it was Gladys, who struggles with memory issues, who has been stealing various items, including the heirloom necklace. This realization comes to the duo only after Charles remembers his wife’s battle with Alzheimer’s.

Although it was difficult for him to confront his wife’s memories, he eventually did, thanks to his friend Calbert for helping out. That’s when Charles remembers that when his wife experienced Alzheimer she also used to pick up random belongings. This made him think that it might be Gladys, who suffers from similar syndrome, to be behind the necklace’s disappearance.

However, it becomes clear by the end of the episode that Glady’s stealing random things wasn’t intentional. She was innocent in the whole scenario as it was her dementia condition, which made it hard for her to remember having people’s belongings. Nevertheless, she was moved to the memory care ward to treat her condition later.
