The Break Room Smash

The case file

Between 7:00 PM and 7:20 PM, the hallway camera caught motion near the break room -- and a vending machine was smashed open. Four people were nearby that evening. Whose alibi falls apart?

The rule: All four findings come from verified records -- logs, cameras, receipts. Exactly one suspect's story contradicts the evidence.

The clues

1. Ramon Cruz: Phone tower records place Ramon Cruz near the mall at 6:46 PM. A camera at riverside park recorded Ramon Cruz at 6:54 PM.
2. Lena Brooks: The shift log shows Lena Brooks clocked in at downtown at 6:49 PM. A camera at north garage recorded Lena Brooks at 7:28 PM.
3. Mira Sol: The toll transponder on Mira Sol's car pinged at river toll plaza at 6:47 PM. The keycard log shows Mira Sol badging into north garage at 7:21 PM.
4. Peter Aldis: A camera at riverside park recorded Peter Aldis at 6:56 PM. A parking receipt puts Peter Aldis's car at north garage at 7:21 PM.

Who did it?

1. Peter Aldis
2. Lena Brooks
3. Mira Sol
4. Ramon Cruz
