Help with a black and white horror flick classic?

People on here always ask, "what was the scariest movie you ever saw"? Well, I can't remember, maybe somebody can help. Here is what I remember (from about 30 years ago). a) There is this lady missing from a car that is in the ditch and crashed into a tree. b) The people that are looking for her have a handkerchief with her initials on it. c) I think she was murdered by a guy that was after her money, but her body is missing. d) The guy that murdered her goes to her house and finds her safe behind a painting. But with the body missing and the handkerchief turning up from out of nowhere, he suspects she might not be dead. So he's in her house about to open the safe and you start to hear this freaky walking on like a wooden porch outside. It sounds like a deformed walk, like a cane and a dragging leg. The guy hurries to open the safe, and when he opens it there is a pistol with a string tied to the door inside. So as he opens the safe he's shot dead. The handkerchief is only one of many things that show up (to the killer) throughout the movie (why he thinks he may have failed). "I think", it ends up being the police trying to force a mistake.

1. That's sounds like a great trailer for a movie! If nobody figures it out you should definately remake it.
2. That almost sounds like the Film Noir flick, Laura. But only about 30% sure.
