Quiz: Eliminate a suspect (Alibi)
This quiz will ask you to select a suspect, what day they have an alibi for, and the evidence that proves it You'll also be asked for one piece of evidence that shows where the killer was that day.
Hints: Eliminate a suspect (Alibi)
Hint #1
Examine the receipt carefully. Whose receipt is it?
Hint #2
The receipt is the killer's. It had the same DNA on it as the lanyard (which had the killer's DNA). The receipt tells us that Evelyn's killer was purchasing lunch at the Saguaro Sands Cafeteria at 12:07 PM on June 22nd, 2022.
To figure out who has an alibi for this date, examine the Cat's Cradle brochure carefully.
Hint #3
The Cat's Cradle brochure lists a website (www.catscradlenonprofit.com). Make sure you explore it and look at the "Past Events" carefully.
Hint #4
Examine the large button/pin (see the Evidence Collection form). Who does it belong to? Read the "Identifying Information" carefully.
Hint #5
The large button/pin is a Cat's Cradle volunteer pin. The Cat's Cradle website says first-time volunteers from Saguaro Sands visited on June 22nd, 2022. So, if a suspect owns this pin, we can infer they visited for the first time on June 22nd, 2022 (and we'd be able to rule them out).
The evidence collection form says that type AB negative blood was found on the pin.
Hint #6
Read the Blood Drive poster.
Solution
The Blood Drive poster says Malcolm is the only resident at Saguaro Sands who has type AB negative blood. The "Cat's Cradle" volunteer pin is Malcolm's, which means Malcolm volunteered at Cat's Cradle on June 22nd, 2022, and couldn't have been purchasing food in the Cafeteria at Saguaro Sands, like Evelyn's killer was (see the receipt). We can rule Malcolm out.
