Luther unless something in the post was missing. The mistake was obvious and it wasn't the locks.
I see the mistake I'm taking abbout, but could you PMmeyours if I send you mine?
Guys, Captain Cromwell shows up in a rumpled suit, flapping in the frigid wind. He assesses the scene, then grabs his overcoat off a hook. He didn't come in with the coat! How did it get on the hook? Easy...he was there before when he strangled the victim.
ah yes Foxy. Didn't notice that the first time. They really need to fix this then. I noticed how Luther seemed to magically know that the guy was dead.
I voted for Luther without reading the story. Luther is such evil sounding name. I mean, look at Lex Luthor!
I voted Luther because he said he was changing locks.
thats what they wanted you to pick up on. I said Luther because again seemed like he magically knew the guy was dead.
Didn't they go tell Luther that the guy died?
they met him, but if they didn't tell him that, it needs to be added in.
just shows them talking to him.Quote:
"The first lead came from the safe house's phone records. Just the previous night, the victim had sneaked a call to Luther Dross, his brother-in-law. "My wife's in intensive care," Luther told the officers when they visited him at his locksmith shop across town. "Jake and her were real close. Jake was worried and wanted the latest news about her condition. We talked for maybe five minutes. He knew it was against the rules and he never told me where he was."
The captain pulled a notepad and pen from his coat. "Where were you today around two?"
"Is that the time of death?" Luther asked weakly. "I was installing locks in a new apartment complex on Prospect Road. Some of the workmen must have seen me. I came back here to clean up before going to the hospital. Can I go now?"
Yes, poorly written mysteries seem a lot harder than they are.
Good catch by foxy though, smart lass.
