START WITH NADIA'S STATEMENT. WHERE IS HER ROOM LOCATED.
THERE ARE 2 CLUES IN FERIHA'S STATEMENT - HAROLD'S ROOM TYPE AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE WOMEN'S ROOM LOCATIONS.
THERE ARE 2 CLUES IN ERIK'S STATEMENT - VINCENT AND MARCO'S ROOMS IN RELATION TO HIS.
BOTH ERIK AND VINCENT SAY THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE SUITES.
THERE IS A CLUE IN YUSUF'S STATEMENT
THE CLUE IS RELATED TO BREAKFAST
THERE IS A CLUE IN FERIHA'S STATEMENT
THE CLUE IS ABOUT WHICH ROOMS ARE LOCKED.
THERE IS A CLUE IN ERIK'S STATEMENT
THE CLUE IS ABOUT WHY HE WAS UP SO EARLY.
WHO HAS BEEN TO A SYMPOSIUM IN TURKEY BEFORE?
WHO HAS SAID THAT THE SYNTHETIC FUEL WOULD BE A FAILURE?
WHO DID HE ASK FOR MORE MONEY, AND WHERE?
THESE ARE ALL DATED BEFORE THEIR GROUP DINNER. WITH THIS IN MIND - WHO HAS, AND WHO HASN'T, SHARED A MEAL WITH HAROLD BEFORE?
WHO CAME BY SHIP? DID ANYONE MENTION THEIR MODE OF TRANSPORT?
WHO HELPS HAROLD WITH HIS CLOTHING CHOICES?
"SHE HAD ARRIVED" CHECK WHAT DATES PEOPLE ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL.
THERE ARE NAMES OF RESTAURANTS IN MULTIPLE PLACES. ONLY ONE WILL HELP YOU DECODE THE MESSAGE.
DELETE THE LETTERS OF THE RESTAURANT NAME FROM THE CODED NOTE TO SEE THE REAL MESSAGE.
THE CORRECT RESTAURANT NAME IS NOT IN THE NEWSPAPER.
THE CORRECT RESTAURANT NAME IS NOT IN ANY INTERROGATION.
THE FIRST WORDS OF THE CODE ARE "WE HAVE"
THE CRUMPLED NOTE MENTIONS MULTIPLE THINGS THAT CAN BE COMPARED AGAINST THINGS SAID IN INTERROGATIONS AND IN THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO.SUSPECTS CAN BE EXCLUDED AS THE AUTHOR AND RECIPIENT BY CAREFULLY LOOKING FOR THESE CLUES.
THE AUTHOR AND RECIPIENT OF THE NOTE MUST BOTH HAVE A LOVE OF SCIENCE.
THERE MUST BE NO EVIDENCE OF THEM HAVING SHARED A MEAL TOGETHER.
THEY MUST HAVE BOTH BEEN IN LONDON AND PARIS LAST YEAR (1933).
FIRST WE NEED TO WORK OUT THE IDENTITY OF ALL THE FINGERPRINTS ON PREVIOUS PIECES OF EVIDENCE.
LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE FINGERPRINTS BECAUSE SOME DO LOOK ALIKE.
THE FINGERPRINTS ON THE NEWSPAPER BELONG TO THE ONE PERSON THAT IS KNOWN TO ALWAYS HAVE A NEWSPAPER WITH THEM.
THE FINGERPRINTS ON THE LOVE LETTER BELONG THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAROLD TOLD ABOUT HIS MEMORY ISSUES.
YOU HAVE 6 SUSPECTS AND 3 KNOWN FINGERPRINTS. COMPARE THE 3 FINGERPRINTS YOU KNOW WITH THE TEA ROOM FINGERPRINTS.1 SET WILL MATCH. THE REMAINING 2 SETS OF FINGERPRINTS CAN POTENTIALLY BELONG TO ONLY 3 PEOPLE WHOSE FINGERPRINTS ARE UNKNOWN.ONE OF THE INTERROGATIONS CAN EXCLUDE 1 PERSON FROM YOUR LIST.
MARCO'S FIRST INTERROGATION SAYS THAT HE HAS NEVER BEEN INSIDE THE TEA ROOM. THIS MEANS THAT THE LAST 2 FINGERPRINTS CAN ONLY BELONG TO NADIA AND ERIK. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHICH ONE BELONGS TO WHO, BUT IT'S ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THEIRS.
WE DON'T NEED TO WORK OUT WHICH OF THE 2 PRINTS BELONG ERIK OR NADIA, IT'S ENOUGH THAT WE KNOW THAT THEIR PRINTS ARE IN THE READING ROOM. THERE IS ONLY 1 SET OF PRINTS REMAINING.
CORRECT
NADIA'S STATEMENT TELLS US THAT HER ROOM CAN SEE INTO THE DINING ROOM, SO WE CAN PLACE HER'S IMMEDIATELY.ERIK'S STATEMENT & VINCENT'S STATEMENTS TELL US THAT THEY BOTH DO NOT HAVE SUITES.ERIK'S STATEMENT TELLS US THAT VICTOR'S ROOM IS ACROSS THE HALL FROM HIS, SO WE KNOW THAT THE TOP 2 ROOMS HAVE TO BELONG TO EITHER ERIK OR VINCENT.FERIHA'S STATEMENT TELLS US THAT NADIA AND LYDIA'S ROOMS ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER, AND THAT HAROLD WAS STAYING IN A SUITE. THIS MEANS THAT LYDIA MUST BE IN THE OTHER SUITE AS THE ROOM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NADIA HAS TO BELONG TO EITHER ERIK OR VINCENT. HAROLD IS IN THE OTHER SUITE.ERIK'S STATEMENT TELLS US THAT MARCO'S ROOM IS NEXT TO HIS. IF ERIK WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOTEL, THEN HIS ROOM WOULD BE NEXT TO NADIA. THIS MEANS THAT ERIK IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOTEL. MARCO IS NEXT TO HIM. VINCENT HAS THE LAST REMAINING ROOM.
SORRY. TRY AGAIN.
CORRECT
THE PEOPLE LYING ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE DURING BREAKFAST ARE:
NADIA AND VICTORNADIA - She says in her statement that she had a cooked breakfast, but Yusuf did not receive wood for the stove that day, and did not put out any cooked food (Yusuf's Statement).Nadia has confessed to taking papers from dr. fulbright's room. she had hoped to find something useful for her article, but it was nothing of importance. after hearing of his death, she cut them up and threw them away.MARCO - MARCO SAYS THAT HE WAS SLEEPING UNTIL 9 AM, BUT HIS TALKING THAT MORNING WOKE UP ERIK (ERIK'S STATEMENT), AND WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM LEAVE HIS ROOM EARLY FOR THE DAY.Vincent - He says in his statement that he was in the laundry room looking for some help. Feriha always keeps rooms not marked on the map locked (Feriha's Statement). The laundry room is not marked on the hotel map.Vincent has now admitted to being in Marco's room, having a meeting with Marco and his cousin. Marco has come forward to corroborate his story. They both refuse to give any further information about this meeting.
CORRECT
PROFESSOR LYDIA CALDWELL WANTED TO MEET HAROLD ALONE ON THE NIGHT OF HIS MURDER.YES, HE DECIDED TO MEET HER.IF YOU PUT ANY OF THE FRAGMENTS IN THE WRONG PLACE, IT WILL MAKE ANOTHER SECTION INACCURATE.
ACCORDING TO HIS INTERROGATION, VINCENT TOLD HAROLD THAT HIS FUEL WOULD BE A FAILURE. HE WAS AT THE TURKISH SYMPOSIUM LAST YEAR AND HE HAS STAYED AT THE TOKATLIAN HOTEL BEFORE.IN MARCO'S INTERROGATION, HE ADMITS THAT HAROLD VISITED HIM IN ITALY 2 MONTHS AGO, THEY SPOKE AT A RESTAURANT, AND HAROLD NEEDED MONEY.IN ERIK'S INTERROGATION, HE TELLS US THAT HELPS HAROLD WITH HIS CLOTHING CHOICES, THAT HE SOMETIMES HAS BREAKFAST WITH HIM (BUT NEVER DINNER).IN NADIA'S STATEMENT, SHE SAYS SHE STUDIED CHEMISTRY, SHE ARRIVED ON THE 1ST OF DECEMBER FROM USA. ALTHOUGH SHE NEVER MENTIONS SHE CAME BY SHIP, WE WE DO KNOW THAT PROFESSOR LYDIA ARRIVED BY TRAIN FROM LONDON ON 4 DECEMBER.
CORRECT
THE RIPPED UP NOTE TALKS ABOUT A RESTAURANT CALLED:
RISTORANTE GINOSIF WE REMOVE THE LETTERS FROM THIS WORD FROM THE CODED LETTERS, WE'LL BE LEFT WITH:
We have agreed on a price to get rid of him
DUE TO NATURE OF THE CODEWORD, WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT THE PERSON WHO EITHER WROTE OR RECEIVED THIS NOTE WAS MARCO CASSETTI.
CORRECT
ERIK WROTE THE NOTE FOR PROFESSOR LYDIA CALDWELLIN LYDIA'S NOTE, SHE MENTIONS HOTELS IN PARIS AND LONDON THAT SHE WAS WITH HAROLD.FROM ERIK'S INTERROGATION, WE KNOW THAT ERIK TRAVELS EVERYWHERE WITH HAROLD. BY A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, WE CAN WORK OUT THAT ERIK WROTE THE LETTER TO LYDIA.MARCO IS NOT THE AUTHOR OR RECIPIENT BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER LEFT ITALY UNTIL THIS TRIP.NADIA IS NOT THE AUTHOR OR RECIPIENT BECAUSE SHE ONLY LEFT THE USA THIS YEAR (1934) WHILE THE NOTE MENTIONS MEETING LAST YEAR (1933).HAROLD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OR RECIPIENT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HE AND LYDIA HAVE SHARED A MEAL TOGETHER, AS PER HER LETTER. THIS NOTE WAS WRITTEN ON 3 DECEMBER, (AS IT MENTIONS THAT SHE WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW), SO THE GROUP DINNER HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE YET AND SHE HAS NOT YET HAD DINNER WITH ERIK.VINCENT IS NOT THE AUTHOR OR RECIPIENT BECAUSE HE HATES SCIENCE. THE PERSON IN THE NOTE LOVES SCIENCE.WE KNOW THAT LYDIA DID NOT WRITE THE NOTE BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE HER HANDWRITING FROM THE LAST LETTER, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR HER TO BE THE INTENDED RECIPIENT.
YOU'VE SOLVED IT !!!
ERIK KILLED DR. HAROLD FULBRIGHTERIK WAS OBSESSED WITH PROFESSOR LYDIA CALDWELL, AND KILLED DR. HAROLD FULBRIGHT AFTER FINDING OUT THAT HE WANTED TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH HER. FEARING HE'D LOSE HIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH HER, IN A FIT OF RAGE, HE ATTACKED AND KILLED HAROLD.
THE FULL STORY
Erik met HAROLD after dinner to talk about work, but during their conversation he learned that Harold wanted to restart his relationship with Professor Lydia Caldwell. Erik was obsessed with her and could not imagine her being with anyone else.He left for his room, but later returned to confront Harold in the reading room, just after 9 PM. After a heated discussion, he grabbed a nearby marble chess board and hit Harold hard over the head. After realizing what he had done, he put the chess board back in its place and left the room before anyone saw him.After an intense interrogation, Erik eventually confessed. He was taken into custody and will be charged with murder.
THE FULL STORY
MARCO
IT APPEARS THAT MARCO WAS NOT AWARE THAT HIS COUSIN AND VINCENT WERE PLANNING TO MURDER HAROLD. LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT IN THE HOTEL DURING THE MURDER OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN SUSPECT. HIS FINGERPRINTS WERE ONLY ON THE MURDER WEAPON BECAUSE HE TOUCHED MANY ITEMS IN THE READING ROOM WHILE ADMIRING THEM DURING HIS STAY. HE WAS NOT CHARGED FOR ANY CRIMES. HIS COUSIN LEFT BY TRAIN SHORTLY AFTER POLICE BEGAN SEARCHING FOR HIM.VINCENT
AS PART OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, VINCENT WAS NOT CHARGED FOR ANY CRIMES. HE LEFT SHORTLY AFTER FOR CANADA WHERE THEY ARE RESEARCHING NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES.NADIA
NADIA'S FINGERPRINTS WERE ON THE CHESS BOARD DUE TO PLAYING CHESS WITH HAROLD EARLIER THAT DAY. SHE WAS TALKING TO YUSUF IN THE DINING ROOM WHEN THE MURDER TOOK PLACE. SHE HAD NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE MURDER AND WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THE DOCUMENT THEFT.
