The Story:

At five-feet-six and a hundred and ten pounds, Queenie Volupides was a sight to behold and to clasp. When she tore out of the house after a tiff with her husband, Arthur, she went to the country club where there was a party going on.
​
She left the club shortly before one in the morning and invited a few friends to follow her home and have one more drink. They got to the Volupides house about ten minutes after Queenie, who met them at the door and said, “Something terrible happened. Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs. He was coming down for another drink—he still had the glass in his hand--- and I think he’s dead. Oh, my God---what shall I do?”

The autopsy conducted later concluded that Arthur died from a wound on the head and confirmed that he’d been drunk.

Entry Slip - Solve the riddle poems using the evidence provided.

Picture
The Story:

On an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon, police heard a shot inside Ernie’s Lunchroom. They rushed in and found the scene shown in Figure 1.4.

Police identified the body as that of a prominent racketeer (a person who makes money through illegal activities) named Fannin. His body is near the exit. The kitchen is near the chalkboard that lists the Daily Specials.

Ernie, who is both the owner and only employee at the diner, had only one fact to tell: The murderer had leaned against the wall near the window while firing at point-blank range! The imprint of his hand is in clear view.

The receipts from other customers were also found.
Customer A: $2.95 Customer B: $3.00
Customer C: $2.10 Customer D. $3.65
The officers also noted that the cash register has just been rung up for a total of $8.75.

Seating arrangement:
Customer A was sitting in the stool closest to the Cash Register.
​Nobody was sitting in the corner stool closest to the mop.
Customers B, C and D were sitting in order on the three stools closest to the body.

Footprints:
Footprints are marked X, Y and Z
X prints are near the mop.
Y prints are near the window.
Z prints are along the counter.
