Who Was The Killer Of Soldier Island
Recently in an island named Soldier Island, 10 victims were found completely dead, but no killer could be found. So who was the killer? Soldier Island is off the South Devon coast and is far off the mainland. On this island, there is just the mansion that seemed to be where the victims stayed until their death. Before the guests arrived, rumors of a Mr. and Mrs. Owen arose within the guests. According to the Assistant Commissioner Sir Thomas Legge, Mr. Owen called each guest for one reason, all of these guests had court cases they got away with, and that the law could not touch. The first victim to die was Anthony Marston, who seemed to die by potassium cyanide. The next victim was Mrs. Rogers who died from an overdose of Chloral Hydrate. …show more content…
He was the victim who was crushed by the marble clock from Vera Claythorne’s room. However, Blore admitted to the rest of the guests that he ran a detective agency in Plymouth and was put in on this job by Mr. Owen. Mr. Blore was accused of the death of James Stephen Landor on October 10th, 1928. He tells the other guests that Blore was in charge of Landor’s case. Blore sharply tells the other guests that Landor was a crook and the case was quite clear against him. Landor got penal servitude for life and died a year later on Dartmoor. Mr. Blore was a former police inspector, which would explain his case that he was accused of. Mr. Blore seemed to be a man who would cut to conclusions. But these conclusions were not always right and would show his foolishness. Mr. Blore would constantly suspect the wrong …show more content…
He committed each and every murder singlehandedly, but eventually ended his own life. Proof of this came from a letter written by Lawrence Wargrave sent to a Scotland Yard. This letter had every single answer that everyone had about this mystery. Everyone was startled and astonished by this result, it seemed as if Wargrave was killed by the “murder.” But the letter explains how he and Dr. Armstrong planned to fake his death. But, Wargrave soon betrayed and drowned Dr. Armstrong. Once Wargrave killed the only person who knew about his fake death, he soon killed the others; dropping the marble clock onto Blore, having Vera shot Lombard, and tricking Vera into killing herself. The letter shows that Wargrave didn’t do this for revenge, but only because he was going to die soon. He wanted to die with a big bang, like this mystery murder case here. “I suddenly saw my way clear. And I determined to commit not one murder, but murder on a grand scale,” (Page

    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…

This dark cloud would soon be known throughout all of England as the country’s most notorious serial killer, known as Jack the Ripper.

    The Whitechapel Murders and those of Jack the Ripper are not generally one and the same. Over a period of three years towards the end of the nineteenth century a number of prostitutes were murdered under different circumstances – the murder of prostitutes was not an especially unique occurrence during those times but several of the murders drew particular attention on account of the savagery with which the victim's bodies were mutilated. Within the Whitechapel Murders was a cluster of murders that demonstrated sufficient similarities as to suggest that they were committed by the same person. One of the first instances of serial murder was thus identified and sensationalised in the media as the work of ‘Jack the Ripper', nicknamed on the strength of a letter, probably a hoax, sent to the Central News Agency and claiming responsibility for the killings. Jack the Ripper was a man, and the killer surely was a man, who did not have the intention to merely kill his victims; he needed to mutilate them. Such was the savagery of his attacks and the enthusiasm of the press, that he successfully terrorised the environs of Whitechapel in East London for several years. In spite of an extensive investigation of the killings, Jack the Ripper was never apprehended nor convincingly identified.…
