The case file

Between 7:00 PM and 7:25 PM, the gym's motion sensor logged movement in the locker room -- and a gym locker was forced 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.

  2. Ava Lindt: Phone tower records place Ava Lindt near downtown at 6:58 PM. A camera at the office recorded Ava Lindt at 7:13 PM. A parking receipt puts Ava Lindt's car at the mall at 7:42 PM.
  3. Nora Hale: A parking receipt puts Nora Hale's car at north garage at 6:23 PM. A camera at downtown recorded Nora Hale at 6:47 PM. The shift log shows Nora Hale clocked in at the office at 6:56 PM.
