Arghhh! Are you looking for the origin of "murder she wrote" or "that's all she wrote"?

Nothing.

The Angela Lansbury character in the TV show Murder, She Wrote was based on the prolific English detective novelist Agatha Christie's murder solving biddy Miss Marple.

Christie wrote 17 novels starring Miss Marple. The first was called Murder At the Vicarage and the last, Sleeping Murder. In all of them, she solved murders. A 1961 play based on one of her Miss Marple books was called Muder, She Said. Sensing a theme?

The phrase "Murder, She Wrote" has no intrinsic meaning. People who think it does are misinformed. People who hear other people use it and think it has some a priori meaning are both misinformed and gullible.

"That's all she wrote" means, roughly, "it's over". "Murder, she wrote" means nothing.

That's all she wrote.
