Potassium and Tiffany Lamp
I believe that Horace Throat commited the murder of Mr. Dusty Mantel at the Inn owned by Mrs. Eve Dropper. Although all the occupants of the Inn had it in for Dusty due to his immoral means and conniving ways, only one of them brought his life to a sudden end. Both Anita Mann, his girlfriend, and Chester Drauers were conspiring against him. She wanted out of the relationship because she was “tired of Dusty beating on her” and Drauers wanted the Tiffany Lamp because he had knowledge of its true value. Drauers told Anita that he would take care of everything and later after the auction he phoned the mob boss, Don Angelini, for a hit on Dusty. Don said it would take two days time and there would be a man. Since two days did not pass from this call and there was no other man or suspect I ruled out Drauers and Anita’s involvement in his death even though they had direct contact with his tea cup. OJ Glasse was being blackmailed by Dusty Mantel, about the second and final Will that he discovered on his dead brother’s desk. He works for the FBI as a bio-chemist and would probably have access to potassium cyanide, but he “couldn’t even kill a rat for an experiment”, not to mention there was no direct opportunity after Dusty left to change. Tiffany Glasse had been robbed of her father’s fortune by Dusty, yet, she did not seem to know about it. She did know that he had outbid her for her mothers beloved Tiffany Lamp from which she was named. Eve Dropper overheard them arguing and yelling at each other, presumably about the lamp. She wasn’t near his table before he died and she did not have the opportunity to poison Dusty. Eve dropper was my next suspect idea, but I too, ruled her out as the murderer. She had it all, motive, opportunity and Ability (to some extend). She was the reason he left the room to change and he was about to inform her about the foreclosure on the Inn. There was only one commonality with the rat poison and the tea cup: Sodium, an alkaloid. Although he

    It all links to Dennis Lightfoot and Scarlett as they were closer in age and having a secret affair. A mere year in age, in fact separated the pair. Scarlett was having an affair with Dennis because she found out that Sir Harry changed the will and Dennis’s name was now on it. They were very secretive about their affair but witnesses during the party observed Dennis and Scarlett in an intense conversation about money. Evidence clearly points to Scarlett as the murderer, as she was secretly planning on running away with Dennis Lightfoot, and claiming the money she felt was rightly owning to…

    In the 1930s, Cleveland, Ohio, was becoming a booming metropolis. However, the talk of the decade soon appeared to be about the unsolved murders of multiple victims. The city’s safety director and police were stumped and challenged for over a decade in an effort to solve the cases presented before them. One in particular case aimed to solve the murder of a middle-aged woman known as Florence Genevieve Polillo. To this day, an official confession or discovery has not been made on who the actual killer of Polillo was; although much of the evidence suggests that Dr. Frank Sweeney is the murderer of not only Polillo, but also eleven other innocent…

    Mrs. Susan Hutchings permitted her 17-year old daughter to provide a keg of beer at a party the daughter was having at their home for some high school classmates. Mrs. Hutchings, as hostess, observed a 17-year old guest, Carlton Turner, engaged in a drinking game called “quarters.” When Turner left at 11:30 PM, the keg was empty and he was noticeably intoxicated, having consumed the equivalent of 7 bottles of beer. Mrs. Hutchings expressed concern over his driving ability, but watched him get into his car. Less than 4 miles away, he sped through a red light and killed David Sutter.

    6. What evidence exists to cast suspicion on John Knoll? What evidence exists to suggest that he wasn't involved? John was allegedly the name of the man given the ransom at the Bronx cemetery, casting suspicion on him. However, what kind of clears the air for him a little bit is Dr. Condon’s accounts, which frankly seemed to be somewhat inconsistent, as well as the present day handwriting analysis which makes points to it being unlikely that John Knoll wrote the ransom notes.…

    The FBI states that “54.3 percent of murder victims were killed by someone they knew (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.), and 24.8 percent were killed by a family member.” The evidence shows that this is logically the case in the Verbermockle murder mystery. After allegedly finding Mrs. Verbermockle’s husband unconscious on the bathroom floor, Mrs. Verbermockle calls her family doctor. Mrs. Verbermockle claimed that he must have slipped on a bar of soap, and she did not touch him. When the doctor arrived, he announced Mr. Verbermockle dead from a fracture to the rear of the skull caused from blunt force. However, if the FBI statistics are correct, then it is likely that Mrs. Verbermockle is the killer. Although…

    I think that that Customer C killed Fannin. The first piece of evidence that proves Customer C killed Fannin is that that the cash register had been rung up to 8.75 this is the exact total of Customers B, C, and D. This had to have been done before the murder, because the heel to toe footsteps that belonged to Ernie show that he walked to the cash register after mopping (footstep trail Y.) This was done before the robbery, because the only two reasons that he would’ve opened the register would be to either check someone out, or to give someone money during a stick up. We can tell that he wasn’t getting robbed, because the money’s still there.This allows us to rule out customer A. The second piece of evidence that proves that Customer C killed Fannin is that there was a right handprint on the wall. Common sense suggests that if there is a right handprint on the wall, the shooter pulled the trigger with his left hand. Since C is left-handed, that means that they pulled the trigger. The final piece of evidence that points to C as the murderer is his silverware was on the left side of his platter. His coffee cup was also on the left side of his plate. Usually, if the silverware and cups are placed on the left hand side of the plate, it means that the diner is left handed. So this means that C is left-handed. WHO COMMITED THE LUNCHROOM MURDER?…
