Records Don't Lie

The case file

Between 7:30 PM and 8:05 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: Every finding below comes from a verified record -- logs, cameras, receipts. Exactly one suspect's story contradicts the evidence.

The clues

2. Theo Marsh: A camera at north garage recorded Theo Marsh at 7:09 PM. The register tape shows Theo Marsh ringing up a sale at downtown at 7:46 PM. Phone tower records place Theo Marsh near riverside park at 8:25 PM.
