Hi! Haven't heard back about my Friday night investigation -- are we still finishing this thing off?

Thanks!

bonus questions submitted.

We have...some questions.
 
Final moves and scores (as well as the contemporaneous notes I took when solving the case just ahead of everyone else) to come in the next post.

----

Also, this case kind of SUCKED since it relied on previous knowledge, which I didn't realize before A) starting it myself or B) throwing it out there last week. I wish I would have finished it before throwing it to y'all, but I didn't so we were all in that one together. Wife wants to play a case with me again, so I'll make sure to go through it fully to make sure it's solid before putting another one on here. So I do apologize for that.

---

And in future cases I won't be providing Essential Questions or telling anyone where others have moved. I did that to try to speed it along, but I think that takes a lot of the fun out of it. As you play in person you have no idea what the questions are until you decide you are ready to solve the case and answer any and all questions. And showing others' moves might unfairly influence where people go -- either positively or negatively.
Each move should be a decision based on what they've discovered, not seeing what somebody else decided to do.
