WHO IS THE KILLER?

YOU'VE SOLVED IT !!!

Martin Ramirez murdered William Harrison.The scribbled note left as the crime scene belonged to the killer. It matched the handwriting of the two notes dropped by the person seen leaving William's cabin. In one of those notes, the killer confesses. The folded note mentions a number of places that the murderer followed William on 7 September.Using the Weekly Planner (and photo), Staff Work Schedule, the information from Gloria Miller and the note, we can work out this date which will lead us to the killer.Click the button to see how we came to this conclusion

The only dates with Morning Yoga, Buffet Breakfast, a BBQ and a Cooking Class are 6, 7, 8 and 9 September.From the note, we know that a woman was running the Cooking Class on that day. From the photo, we can see that there are only 2 people that work with food on the ship - Adrian Coates and Melissa Gibbs. On the day that Martin was stalking William, Melissa must have been running the cooking class from 5-7 PM. Using the work schedule, we can see that she was not working on 6 September, leaving us with on 7, 8 and 9 September as options.We also know that he was rude to Adrian 2 days earlier. Adrian Coates was not working on 7 September, which means that 9 September (2 days later) would not be an option either - leaving us with 7 and 8 September.According to the note, there was a Scavenger Hunt the day before he stalked William. From our final 2 options, only 7 September has a Scavenger Hunt the day before.From Gloria, we know that Max was off the ship the whole day on the 7th of September, leaving Martin as our killer.

William’s MurderAfter calling Martin in again and confronting him with his notes, he finally starting talking. He was obsessed with Linda and wanted revenge on the man that had treated her so badly. Apparently she had confided in him about William in the past, and he was aware of that he was on the cruise that week. His obsession with Linda led him down a dark spiral, resulting in the brutal murder of William Harrison.Martin used his master key card to access William’s room to confront him. When he spotted him in the bathtub, his fantasies of revenge took hold and he hit William in the head using a full bottle of whisky that he was carrying to drink later. He then sat down in the cabin and wrote his final note, completing his dark fantasy. In his clumsy state he dropped a crumpled note in the room, and the others slipped out his pocket outside while throwing the whisky bottle overboard.Police did find spyware on the crew’s shared computer, but there is no evidence that it was placed there by Max. The current theory is that Martin placed it there to keep track on everything that Linda did online.

WILLIAM'S POISONINGNina was arrested for poisoning William. She spent a lot of time with Linda to learn everything she knew about poisoning someone and getting away with it. Although Linda had done thorough research, Nina was unable to execute it properly. It’s still not conclusive whether she did only want to make him sick, or if she was trying to kill him – and failed.LINDALinda has since released a new murder mystery novel. In it, a suave women on a cruise ship convinces passengers to carry out revenge for her by killing off another passenger. She retains that it is purely a work of fiction. It became a bestseller.
