The Case of the
Ruined Roses

The case of the ruined roses is simple. Two of the three have alibis, confirmable with an outside party. The one who doesn’t is Sam. First of all, no one can verify what he was doing. Secondly, Nina made a comment about the UFO cases starting in the 1800s right after the watched the special, but Sam said it started in 1947 and there is no proof that he was watching the special about UFOs, therefore he is the only one without an alibi.

The Case of the
Disappearing Signs

Mrs. Stearns, the man in the pick-up and his nephew did it. The man in the pick-up orchestrated the plan because he wanted to buy a house, but knew that they sell fast. He had his nephew and the old lady take the signs made of wood and let them keep the signs for their own personal use. The old lady used them in her fireplace to destroy the evidence. The nephew kept the signs for his tree house. The looked weathered because he sanded off the words so they could not be identifiable and they would look older than the case to through off suspicion.


The Case of the
Dead Hitman

His dead body lay in the summer rain at six o’clock. Two CSIs were inspecting the murder scene. The man was in a black jacket and had a bullet hole on the right side of his face, almost destroying his facial features completely.
The two inspectors looked with disgust and did their job. A van pulled up from the mortuary to take the body for the autopsy. The black jacket and suit were covered in blood.
During the autopsy and cut was found along his side. Inside the cut was a bloody knife. A DNA test revealed that the blood belonged to a wanted hitman. A fingerprint analysis discovered that the hitman was indeed, the deceased. Tucked in the body’s mouth was a bag full of broken glass with the blood of a mafia soldier on them. Along his right forearm was written “PAYBACK”.
On surveillance camera there were three people. One was a mafia soldier carrying a bag of glass and cutting himself. He had a knife similar to the one found in the body. The second was a man carrying a powerful gun. The third person was kidnapper who was carrying a baby, but he got into a black van and drove away.
One of the inspectors watching the video turned to the others and said “Well, obviously the third didn’t do it. He left.”
Another said “This is easy it was the first man!”
