Friday Murder Mystery Game
Dear Readers,
Our crime has been solved, thanks to your clever detective work. After months of watching in horror, Im afraid Louisa May finally snapped when Shawn refused to recycle, on Earth Day of all days!
Congratulations, Keith, on your winning guess.
Honorable Mention goes out to Clint for his astute (but unappetizing) guess. How did he know that the bosss wife is in fact from a small town in Switzerland where her family runs a famous restaurant. Coincidence? I wonder.
Thanks to Shawn and Louisa for playing along. No hard feelings, right guys?
(Note to self: Consider hiring a food taster.)

POLICE REPORT
Last Tuesday, 22 April, received report that janitor found the body of AAOA tech support employee Shawn slumped in his chair in front of his computer. Co-workers interviewed reported that Shawn always looked like that when he was working so no one noticed that he was stone-cold dead. When officers arrived at 1900 hrs, the room had grown dark, but an officer noticed the light switch was on. The janitor told officers that he came into the room as he does every weekday to empty the trash can, but it is missing from the office. Janitor reports typical contents for this office trash can include: eight 6 oz. plastic water bottles, two empty cans Red Bull, newspaper sections typically folded origamically, as in a pirate’s hat configuration. Victim had typed out an interoffice email near the estimated time of death, but it appears to be in some kind of geek-speak that is of yet indiscernible. It has been forwarded to NASA for further analysis. Meanwhile, the only other lead at this time, aside from victim’s unexplained sticky fingers, is a trail of windows he left open on his computer screen. These are the last three pages he visited:
