The 5 houses A,B,C,D,E are in a row since clue 8 says that the man living in the middle
drinks milk. So in house C is milk.
The Norwegian lives in the 1st house so he lives in A and the house next to it is blue. So
the blue house is B.
The green house is on the left of the white house so it is not A or C and the person in the
green house drinks coffee so not in C; thus the green house is D with coffee and the white
house is E.
The Brits live in the red house so not A, B, D, or E thus the Brits live in C and drinks milk.
By Elimination house A where the Norwegian lives is yellow, he smokes Dunhill, and the
man who has the horse lives in the blue house at C.
The Dane drinks tea so it is not in house A, C, or D; the Dane lives in B or E.
One who smokes Blue Master drinks beer so is not in house A, C, or D, so also lives in B
or E; thus the Norwegian in A drinks water, which leaves the one house B – blue and
horses as one who smokes blends.
The Swede keeps dogs so not in B and the German smokes Prince so not in B. Thus the
Dane lives in house B and he deinks tea so by elimination, man in white house at D drinks
beer, and smokes Blue Master.
The German smokes Prince, so not the man in house E; he lives in D and the Swede must
live in E and keeps dogs, the Brit in red house C whod drinks milk; smokes Pall Mall and
rears birds.

medical examiner/coroner in any death
investigation?
• To determine the cause, manner, and mechanism
of death.

• It was midnight on Christmas Eve when the maintenance staff of
Kimble’s came to work in the deserted department store. When they
arrived at the North Pole display, they discovered every child’s worst
nightmare, the lifeless body of Santa Claus. He was in a storage
room, his head bashed in by the butt end of a .44 revolver. Santa’s
off-duty name was Rudolph Pringle. “That’s Rudolph’s revolver,” the
manager informed the police. “He started carrying it after a six-yearold pulled a knife on him.” “Do you know anyone who would want to
see Rudolph dead beside the six-year-old?” The manager cleared his
throat. “Santa’s been having a lot of fights with his elves. I know
three elves who’d threatened to kill him.” The detective had the
murder weapon bagged. Then he placed it on the center of the
interview table, right where the suspects would be forced to look at it.
“Rudolph Pringle has been murdered,” he informed each elf. “What
do you know about it?” Joe Winters shivered and couldn’t stop staring
at the gun. “I know nothing. Some of the guys had trouble with
Rudolph. But he was always nice to me.
Who killed Santa Claus? Read there is a 2nd page
I left the store at nine, right when it closed. I was too tired to change,
so I wore my costume home. No one said a word on the subway.”
“Rudolph was a pig, snarled Sam Petrie, the second elf. “If he pushed
me to far, I wouldn’t smash his head in. I’d sue. What’s the use of a
dead Santa when a live one can be made to pay?” Robert Goldstein
was the smallest elf. On hearing the news, he burst into tears. “Last
week, Rudolph started a fight. He said I was too slow bringing in the
kids. He slapped me on the head and called me all sorts of Names.
But I didn’t kill him.”The detective called in his assistant. “Well, we
have our killer,” he said. “All I had to do was use a little psychology.”

hit. Rudolph had a gun but Sam grabbed the

• A black Cadillac tore around the busy street corner, slowing as it
approached the steps of the courthouse. The tinted, passenger-side
window rolled down and a semi-automatic handgun poked its barrel
out. Pauly Gillespie, mob informant and protected witness, stood
frozen in this tracks. Pauly’s FBI bodyguards threw themselves on
top of him, but not before 2 shots erupted and Pauly had taken a
bullet in the shoulder. The Cadillac screeched across 2 lanes of
traffic. But it made the mistake of turning left down an alley and
getting stuck behind a double-parked delivery van. The 2 hit men
scrambled out and raced away – right into the arms of 4 off-duty
officers. Having heard the shots and the sirens, the officers grabbed
the running men and held them for the FBI. Agent Brown was new
and was asked to clear the Cadillac out of the alley so that traffic
could continue. Brown adjusted the rearview mirror, backed the car
out and drove it around to where his colleagues were Mirandizing
their suspects.
MI – CSI – Agent Brown’s Shining Moment #2
Brown stood and watched. One of the suspects was tall, lean and
sullen. The other was a good 5 inches shorter, Agent Brown’s
height. He was big through the chest but short. He spoke
animatedly, gesturing freely with his hands. The director was
upset since the suspects had ditched the gun and their gloves in
the alley. The director asked which criminal had been the
shooter. “Not me,” said the large, short man. “Not me,” said
the lean, sullen one. Agent Brown smiled. “I know who the
shooter was,” he said softly. WHO WAS THE SHOOTER?
The shooter was the smaller man, Agent Brown had to move
the mirror when he got into drive. The larger man was the
driver and the shorted person was the shooter.
Vince McCormick was a big, angry man just a month shy of
retirement. On Super Bowl Sunday, his 2 sons Vince
Junior and Sonny came over as usual. Before the game,
the boys were in the kitchen, helping their mother fix
snacks. Junior heated nachos in the microwave and Sonny
poured pretzels and potato chips into bowl. Mari
McCormick was mixing ice, ginger ale and rye together into
glasses. “Make mine strong,” yelled her husband. Junior
saw bruises on his mother’s arm. “Did he do that?” he
asked. Marie did not answer. “What’ll you do when he
retires and is here all day long?” Sonny asked. “ No one in
our family gets divorced,” Marie said. “Oh dear. I forgot
which is your father’s. Taste the drinks, Sonny.” Sonny
tasted the drinks, nearly choking on the 3rd drink. “ It’s
about 2x as strong as the others.” “Give it to me.” Vince
was standing behind them, grabbing for his drink. “Making
me come in here,” he muttered. Sonny carried in the
snack bowls while Junior took in the nachos, just in time
for kick-off.
Super Bowl Madness – 2 pages
• All 4 sat around the T.V., munching on the snacks and sipping
their drinks. It was near the end of the 1st quarter when
Vince Senior bellowed, “Get me another.” Marie was in the
kitchen working on the refill when she heard a gasp, then a
moan. She returned to find her husband in his easy chair
dying. “A strong fast-acting poison,” the homicide detective
said. “two to five minutes. And yet they all claimed to be
eating the same things. They’re lying, covering up for each
other. “Not necessarily,” a sergeant ventured. “It could’ve
happened just the way they said?” How was Vince
poisoned?????
The poison was not in the food – all of them ate the same
food. The poison could not have been in his drink
because Sonny drank to see which drink it was. The
poison was in the ice that melted during the 1 quarter.
The Valentine’s Day party was a tradition. Each year Henry
and Bitsy V. invited their friends into their Park Avenue
home. After a wonderful dinner, the couples went to the
drawing room. The men drank port, the women drank
champagne, and each couple exchanged gifts. George E.
outdid himself, presenting his wife with a ruby necklace.
The women sighed enviously while the men added up the
cost and wondered how their wives would react to their
own less extravagant gifts. When Henry’s turn came, he
told Bitsy to close here eyes and led her over to the
windows. When Bitsy opened her eyes, she saw the
billboard and gasped. “To Bitsy, the most beautiful woman
in my world. Love, Henry.” “You don’t know how much
trouble it was getting a billboard put up on Park Avenue,”
Henry said. George E. was the first to notice the missing
necklace. “Stolen,” he gasped, holding up the empty jewel
box. “Nobody leave the room.”
MI – CSI – The Vanishing Love Token
Everyone assured everyone else that there couldn’t be a
thief among the. Systematically, they searched the
room. There was nothing in the empty champagne bottle.
Nothing on the thick Persian carpet. The crystal
decanter set was in place and all the containers filled to
the top with whiskey, port, and bourbon. The glasses
were examined, as were the folds of the red tied-back
curtains flanking the locked windows. They even
inspected the red crystal chandelier. The butler quickly
rounded up the dog and cat, stuck his fingers down their
throats and then checked out their favorite hiding
places. All guests were searched and nothing was found.
Where is the necklace????? Who was the thief???
The butler took the necklace while the guests were looking at the
billboard and put it in the decanter of port. The color of the port
matched the color of the necklace.

MI – CSI --- Friends at the Office
• Detective Gibson was visiting his accountant in a small,
seedy office building when he heard noises coming from
above. First there were angry voices. Then came a
scream, followed by a heavy thud. Gibson raced
upstairs and found an open door. Wiley Kline, a
lawyer, lay on the floor of his office, a switchblade
sticking out of his chests. Gibson called in the murder
and waited on his partner to examine the office. Not
far from the victim’s hand was a half-smoked cigarette.
On the floor beside the cigarette were a turned-over
wastebasket, a cheap lighter, and a blank notepad. On
the desk they noticed a telephone, a pen, a shot glass
smelling of bourbon, and an ashtray filled with
cigarette butts and burned matches. “ It’s funny how
none of his neighbors poked their heads out,” Gibson
observed. The floor contained 3 other offices. The first
office had Helen Hurly a massage therapist. She told
them she was relaxing between appointments.
“I didn’t hear a thing,” she claimed, pointing to the stereo
headphones she’d just removed. The second office had
Jackson Cod, an artist. In one hand he held a
paintbrush, in the other an unlit cigar. “Sure I heard
the scream. But I was right in a moment of inspiration.
Besides you hear all sorts of things in the building.”
Jackson held out his cigar. “Either of you fellows got a
light. The 3rd office had Lionel Wafer, a chiropractor,
also between appointments. “I heard a scream. What
happened?” Gibson asked Lionel why he was holding
an ice pick. “Oh, I’m defrosting,” Lionel said and
returned to the old, ice-ladened refrigerator in the
corner. WHO IS THE PRIME SUSPECT??
The prime suspect was Jackson Cod who was a smoker and was
missing his lighter.
MI CIS – Death of a Deceiver
• Mona Fisher turned and gazed at Jerry, sleeping next to her on the
plane. Her eyes wandered down to his wedding band. She still
couldn’t believe she was married to such a catch. Their flight from
Acapulco landed late that night. The next morning, February 19,
Jerry Fisher shoveled the snow from the driveway, kissed Mona
good-bye, and headed off to work. At seven that evening, a
cleaning woman entered the law offices of Fisher & Dyce and
discovered the body of Jerry Fisher. He had been stabbed to death,
a sharp letter opener still sticking out of his chest. Lieutenant
Miller interviewed the young lawyer’s widow. Mona was
distraught. “We were only married four months. I never met a
man more romantic and honest. Why would anyone want to kill
him?” Jerry’s law partner Kyle Dyce stated, “Jerry was a man I
trusted completely, and a darn good lawyer. He was still working
when I left. About 6 pm I walked across to the health club.
I didn’t work out, just used the tanning bed. I suppose I was jealous
of Jerry’s great tan. The lieutenant spent the next hour going
through papers and discovered that Jerry Fisher had been
skimming from the law firm. He also found a telephone number
for Gail Lowenski. The attractive redhead was devastated by
Jerry’s death and even more devastated to hear that he’d been
married. “We were together just this afternoon, at my apartment.
The louse told me he was single. For 2 months he was stringing
me on. I was so sure he was going to propose. Who did
Lieutenant Miller know had done the crime.
Jerry Fisher had a tan from his vacation and his wedding ring had
been on when he was on vacation. When he went to Gail’s house he
would take off his ring and it was obvious that he was married. Ms.
Lowenski was the murderer.
2 places at Once
• All evidence pointed to Frank Fortini. “he has
motive,” the homicide chief told his men. “Frank’s
Uncle Gregor, the victim, just won the state lottery.
Frank and his brothers are Gregor’s only relatives and
would inherit the $14 million prize. “also, Frank had
opportunity. Gregor was a paranoid guy living in an
isolated cabin. He always kept his doors locked and
hated strangers. Since there was no forced entry and
no sign of a struggle, we know Gregor was attacked by
someone he knew and trusted. “To top it off, we found
direct evidence at the cabin. There were fresh tire
tracks, perfectly matching the tires from Frank’s
mountain bike. And…” The chief was getting angry.
“And we found a ticket from today’s lottery near the
scene – with Fran’s prints on it.
• :The only trouble is…”The chief pounded the table. “He
has an alibi. On the night Gregor was killed, Frank was
breaking into Avalon Hardware. Normally there’s be
nothing to steal. But the store manager neglected to take the
money to the bank. An alert patrolman looked through the
window and saw Frank prying open the register. The
coroner says Gregor was killed at the same time Frank was
being read his rights” “frank’s a petty robber. He’s steal the
pennies from your loafers, would could count on it. But
he’d never kill. Frank’s other brother was a teller at
Avalon’s only bank. “I saw frank right after I got off work
said Emil. We had a couple of drinks. Frank seemed a little
hare up for money but that is normal. Frank stated “I keep
my bike in an unlocked garage. Anyone could have used it.
As for my uncle I have not seen him in a week. Who did
the chief believe was the thief.
Frank’s brother.
Myra’s 3 sons
• Inspector Matthews glanced around the kitchen of the
weekend cottage. There was cold coffee in the pot, an ice
cube tray half filled with melted cubes, and a small amount
of ash in an ashtray. “All right Mrs. Thurl. Tell me again.”
The neighbor looked uncomfortable. “I had just come
home. It was about 8 PM. I heard a car pull into the
driveway next door. I mean here, at this house. When I
looked out, 2 people had arrived and were walking toward
the kitchen door. I recognized the woman as Myra Lovesy a
rather fat…The man I couldn’t see. They were fighting.
The man grabbed Myra’s throat. She collapsed. Then the
man unlocked the door and walked in. It took you 15
minutes to get here from when I called.” Myra’s 3 sons
were in the house when police arrived.
• “The place has been closed for the last month,” Sherman
Lovesy stated. “I arrived early this afternoon. No one else
was here. I parked in the garage. I went to the basement
and turned on the electricity. In the kitchen, I smoked a
cigarette and then I went to my room and took a nap. “I
was the 1st to arrive,” his brother Donald protested. “I
parked behind the garage. The electricity had never been
turned off. We often forget to do that. I made coffee, then
took a cup to the library and I fell asleep.” The 3rd brother
declared his early arrival. “I parked in the garage.
Sherman’s car was not there! I went into the basement,
turned on the electricity and then went up to make a drink
Mother said she would arrive with 1 of my brothers.” 1 of
the sons was lying. 1 son had driven his mother, fought
with her and strangled her. WHODUNIT???
• Sherman and Donald could both be telling
the truth since their cars were parked in
different areas. Luther is lying. He could
not have gone into the basement, turned on
the electricity, and then gone to make a
drink. There would have been no ICE!!!!
• LUTHER KILLED HIS MOTHER
Maria’s last Clue
• Sergeant Vacca had been on the homicide squad for 8
years and had never run into a deathbed clue. Not once
had he heard a dying man blurt out the name of his killer
or seen him grab at his St. Christopher medal in order to
incriminate a suspect named Chris. Even though he was a
devout mystery fan, Vacca had begun to doubt that such
things ever happened. Until NOW! His captain was still
skeptical. “Who says this is a deathbed clue? Looks like
a bunch of gibberish.” The gibberish was 2 words typed
on a computer screen. The police found Maria Consuela
alone in her downtown office. The attractive legal
secretary had stayed late to finish typing up a brief and
had been rewarded with a blunt object to the head and
ribs.
• There was no sign of forced entry and little signs of struggle,
an indication that she had known her attacker. A pool of blood
trailed away from the cubicle’s doorway and ended in Maria’s
collapsed body, right under the edge of her desk. “It must
have taken her last ounce of strength to crawl over here. She
must have had some reason.” The Sergeant gazed at the
computer screen. The last thing typed was a line of legal

Which Dewdit Did IT?
• The lawyer looked from his client to the 3 greedy faces
across the room. “You’re sure you want to do this?” “Of
Course,” Derwood Dewdit stated. :I have no children,
It’s only right that my niece and nephews inherit my
estate. “That won’t be for many, many years. Asa Dewdit
said. His sister Bebe agreed as did brother Cecil. They
watched, fascinated as Uncle Derwood signed his new
will. Nothing happened until late afternoon. The lawyer
was looking through the books in the 3-floor library
when he heard Derwood’s voice raised in a bloodcurdling scream. For a few seconds, he sat in shock.
Then he bounded down the stairs. He found Asa on the 2
floor, standing at the top of the back staircase. “it came
from the 1st floor,” stammered the young heir.
• The lawyer took the lead down the stairs. “Derwood!” he
shouted and a moment later caught a spider web across
his face. The kitchen was at the bottom. The white floor
was spotless and still damp from a recent mopping. The
pantry right next door was messy. Using a handkerchief,
he tried the kitchen door. Unlocked. Looking out into the
garden, he could see a path of footprints in the mud,
leading up to the kitchen door and then away again. “Call
the police.” The Dewdits and the lawyer all retired to the
parlor to await the authorities. “An intruder must have
come in the back way,” Cecil said. “I was sitting in the
front hall by the main stairs. I didn’t see anyone. “Me
neither,” Bebe said absently fingering the mud on her
shoes. “I was strolling around the garden, right by the
kitchen. I didn’t see a thing. Do you think it might be
one of us? “Of course it was,” the lawyer said. “And I
can guess which one.”
• Whodunit
• The lawyer knew that Asa had not used the
backstair case because of the unbroken
spiderweb. He could not have used the front
stairwell without being seen by cecil who
claimed to be in the front hall. Bebe couldn’t
have entered and left by the kitchen door, not
without leaving prints on the mopped floor.
Therefore, it had to be

MI – CSI --- Looking for a Lookout
• On a January night, one of the coldest of the new year, a foot
patrolman was making his rounds of the storefronts when a hissing cat
ran past him into a nearby alley. Officer Greeley glanced after it, and
the beam of a roaming flashlight caught his eye. It was coming from
inside the alley window of Collin’s Jewelry. Greeley called for
backup and a patrol car quickly and a patrol car arrived. With their
guns drawn, the 3 officers covered the front and back exists. The
burglars were gone. “They must have had a lookout,” Greeley said. A
walkie-talkie was found on the jewelry store floor, right where the
burglars had dropped it. “Quickly,” said Greeley “I saw 3 guys
loitering around. One of then has to be the lookout. If we hurry…”
The 3 people were found. “ I was waiting for a bus,” said the man
with the white cane and dark glasses. “I’m blind. I work as an
accountant next door to Collin’s Jewelry. Tonight I stayed late
working on taxes. I heard the usual street noises, but I obviously
didn’t see a thing.
The second person was a female. “My car broke down,” she
said, shivering in the frigid night air. “I got out to see where
exactly I was. Then I called a garage on my cell phone. You
can check out my car. It still won’t start. The 3rd person was
a homeless alcoholic. He clutched a half-empty bottle of
bourbon, the contents beginning to crystallize from the subfreezing temperature. “I was just minding my own business,”
he slurred. “trying to find someplace warm to sleep.” Which
of the 3 people participated in the burglary.
The homeless alcoholic was obviously faking his drunken
state. Since alcohol doesn’t freeze, his bourbon bottle must
have been filled with colored water. Why would a sober
person be out on such a cold night pretending to be drunk.
He must have been the lookout.
MI – CSI – The Coach’s Last Play
Juliet Bricker watched as her husband dawdled over his Saturday
morning breakfast. “What’s wrong, dear?” Coach Bricker could
never hide anything from Juliet. “It’s one of my star players. I
found out the boy’s involved with gamblers. Maybe he’s not trying
to throw games, but it’s still enough to get him suspended and ruin
his chances with the pros.” Juliet was sympathetic. College football
was his whole life, and for the first time in years, Halberton State had
a great team. “What are you going to do?” “We’re meeting at the
field before practice. I have to hear his side of it.” Bricker kissed his
wife, picked up his latest paperback novel, and headed for the door.
Bricker was always reading – a holdover from being an English
professor. The team coordinator showed up ½ an hour later and
found the coach lying in the middle of the field, his head bashed in.
“he didn’t die instantly,” the police chief said as he examined the
scene. A ten-foot-long blood trail showed the Bricker had been
Crawling toward the fieldhouse. “What’s this in his hand?’ The chief
peered in the clenched fist and saw the last page of Coach Bricker’s
paperback. The rest of the book lay back at the scene of the attack.
The 3 star players became the suspects. “I was in my dorm room all
morning,” said quarterback Matt McGruffin. “Coach said I had to
spend some time reviewing the playbook.” On hearing the news,
Alfie Goodall, defensive lineback, broke down and could hardly
blubber out his alibi. “Coach told me I had to lose some weight. I
was out on the road this morning, running. Donny Emory, tight end,
claimed to be sleeping. “me and my roommate had a late night.
He’s still fast asleep. I barely got here in time for practice. The chief
thought over the case until it downed on him. “Holy cow! Before he
died, Coach Bricker identified his killer. How clever.”
Whom does the chief suspect?
The killer was identified on the piece of paper the coach held in his
hands. The last words on the page were THE END!

dark I heard the coins spilling. I thought it was just an
accident, she stated” Forest Tyner emerged from the
downstairs bedroom. A gangling, gaunt man he had
never been the dream husband but he was a good father.
It was after their wedding that Charlene determined he
spent ½ of his paycheck at the local tavern. I came in late
and I did not want to disturb you so I slept on the couch
and I woke up just a few minutes ago. Jess the son who
is lazy and obese came down Jess loved food and video
games. “I came down for a snack at midnight, I heard
Myrna snoring, and Dad was not on the couch. I went
back to bed. Charlene looked into the kitchen and her
heart sank. She had figured out who had taken her coins.
• ** Whodunit and how did Charlene know?
Shark Bait – THE BAD SAMARITAN
• Stan Rogers winced at the flesh wound in his left shoulder,
feeling lucky to be alive. “My partner and I were delivering
a payroll to the logging camp,” he told the officers at his
hospital bedside. “It was late at night when the car broke
down. I pulled over. Benny got out but I stayed inside.
Those are the rules.” “A minute later, a passing motorist
stopped to help. Benny and this guy checked the engine,
fiddling with the connections. A couple times it almost
started. I couldn’t see their faces because they were
standing right in front and the headlights were on low. But I
saw when the guy pulled the gun from his jacket. “He shot
Benny in the chest, just like that. Benny stumbled off to the
side and collapsed. The guy came around to the driver’s
side.
Me, I kept trying to start the engine. He must have known
about the payroll ‘cause he opened the rear door and
grabbed it off the backseat. He slammed the door and was
coming up to me when the engine started. I slipped it in
gear as he got a shot off. “Gee if I had not run into you I
might have fainted or died.” The highway patrol brought in
2 lone motorist whose cars fit the description. Neither
suspect had the payroll and the murder weapon was found
back at the scene, wiped clean of prints. The 1st suspect was
tall, with a blond crew cut and a small spider web tattoo on
his right wrist. The 2nd suspect was short and left-handed.
His hair was short, but dark. Stan examined photos of both
clean shaven men, but could not make an ID. The senior
officer led the way out of Stan’s hospital room. “From what
he told us about the attacker, I think it’s clear who it was.”
WHO DUNUIT??? WHAT GAVE HIM AWAY!
Crime Scene in a Box
• Remember to use your rubric
• The crime must be able to be solved.
• There must be evidence at the scene of the crime.
The evidence should not be just sitting out ready
to be collected. The evidence can be hidden in the
scene. Guns can be in trashcans, knives can be in
closets, baseball bats could be found under beds.
windows can be broken with glass on the floor,
blood spatter can be found on the furniture, floor,
or going outside. Be creative but make sure that
the crime and the scene are plausible and realistic.
SHARK BAIT – AIRPORT INSECURITY
• Phil Moretti hated it when tourists got murdered. It
reflected badly on NYC, on Kennedy Airport, and him the
Chief of Security. Somehow it did not seem as bad when
the victim was local. In the case it was a businessman
from Chicago. He had barely gotten off the plane. At
3:42 PM, a passerby found him stabbed to death in the
men’s restroom just a few feet from the arrival gate. The
body had been robbed. No jewelry. And although the
wallet and credit cards had been left behind, there was no
cash. 3 suspicious characters had been seen by the gates.
About 15 minutes passed from finding the body before all
3 were brought in. The 1st suspect was Abe Grishamn, a
petty criminal with a long rap sheet. “I was just seeing
my friend off, “ he said as he nervously twisted the silver
and onyx ring on his finger.
“After her flight took off, I just hung around. I like
airports.” The 2nd was Johnny Ambrose, who had 1
prior arrest for grand theft auto. “I was here to pick up a
friend, but his flight was canceled. I was just wasting
time here till my next appointment.” Johnny checked
his watch. “Is this gonna take much longer? I got a 4
o’clock meeting way up in Bronx, and I can’t be late.”
The last man interviewed was Doogie Weber, a
suspected member of the Cordoba crime family. “One
of the employees here owes me some money. I can
never find the guy at home, so I tracked him down at
work. That’s why I got so much cash on me. I took the
guy to the ATM and he gave me a payment on his debt.
Security Chief Moretti listened to all 3 suspect, then
pointed to 1 of the suspects. “This 1 we need to
question further. The others can go.”
Whom did Moretti suspect and why?
