Investigating the Scene

I know a lot of you have already been guessing who is guilty, but we can't just rush into accusing someone without actual fact. So today, we're going to investigate the crime scene.

Here we go!

Whoever was in here dumped almost all of the books on the shelf onto the floor, as though they were looking for the autograph. Ellen, Samantha and Rebecca all definately know where the autograph was located. Kit and Emily would have had to search.

They eventually realized it was over on the wall.

What is that?

Oh, it's Emily's sleepover back. It looks like she threw it here when she got home sick.

Hmm. What is that?

Scissors? What were they used for?

Why is Kit's watering can here? And there is water everywhere!

More searching it looks like. These are Samantha's and Rebecca's purses. I doubt they would root through their own stuff.

Here is a glass of water. Emily could have gotten it to help her feel better. So could Kit. She was in the kitchen. (or so she claims.)

Now what about this chair?

It looks like it was used to climb to reach the autograph. That means it was a short doll.

I don't understand why this is here. Other than, Emily loves cowgirl stuff.

Only a few things left...

Here are the last peices of evidence.

This hankerchief is either Samantha's or Emily's, I can't remember.

These are magazine cutouts. I know Emily has been dying for that sundress, but it sure is expensive!

Kit has been wanting this doll. Samantha, Ellen and Rebecca are all too old for dolls.

Here is a takeout lid. I went to AG Cafe yesterday with Kit and Samantha. I know both brought home some leftovers to eat later.

I guess we'll have to keep guessing. I think the next step is to plan a test to lure the criminal and then we can charge them. The question is, who should we play the test on?

The Suspects

Hello! If you haven't seen it, look at this post about the mystery.
Today we're going to be reviewing our suspects: (sorry these photos are dark)
I held a meeting and recorded everyone's side of the story for you.

Ellen's side of the story:

I was sleeping, and when I woke up, someone was dragging me. I don't know who it was, becuase just after I woke up, something crashed down on top of me...my arm really hurt, and I don't remember anything else after that.

Rebecca's Side of the Story:

I was sleeping, and never heard anything the whole night.

Kit's side of the story:

I was up checking on my fish, and I heard something.

Emily's side of the story:

I came in last night at like 2am because I wasn't feeling well. I had been at a slumber party at a friend's house.

I entered the house through the window, because the door was locked.

Samantha's side of the story:

I was in the bathroom, and I heard pounding footsteps, but didn't think much of it.

"Thank you all for attending this meeting. Is anyone willing to admit to the crime?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Alright, well, fear if you did, because I and my readers will find you out!"

"Um excuse me. Aren't you a suspect too? 

"I'm the detective, not a suspect."

"You said we have to suspect EVERYONE."

"Fine. I'll be a suspect too. I was out in the barn sleeping with Midnight. I didn't do it."

So, that's the possible suspects. Next, we'll examine the scene and illiminate suspects from our list. Who do you think is guilty? (so far?)

It's a Mystery!

??????????????????????????????????????????????

Hi, I'm detective Molly! There's been a very strange crime at our house, and I'm the one putting in the work to figure out who is guilty! First let me show you the scene.

Here is how our living room was found early this morning. Usually neat and tidy we were surprised that the room has been torn apart. (or maybe some WEREN'T surprised, but I'll get to that.) What were they after?

A valuable actor's signature, that Rebecca owns and displays on the wall. This autograph is worth a few thousand dollars!

But, it has been stolen from it's home on the wall, in the process, leaving disaster, and Ellen with a broken arm.

The area has been caution taped off to avoid any disturbance to the facts.

I have now removed Ellen, to get her medical attention. Everything else is as it was found. Readers, examine the photo closely and write down anything suspicous. You may need that list later.

Soon, we will be reviewing our suspects, as we are working together quickly to solve this case. We need to hurry, the autograph could be being sold this very instant!
