sunshinecorp: Interesting.
*chomps on a huge burger*
Go on.
Unfortunately thats all I have now. My other theories weren't too consistent, like the victim having a 2nd bf, Archie in this case,and Dean being the 2nd killer.
bler144: I do have a vague theory on why the taps were turned on other than what the prosecution has proposed.
Tell us the theory.
zeogold: *stares into inky blackness of cup*
No thanks, I'm good. Something in there just smiled at me. I'm not fond of drinks that can taste themselves.
Come now, you know what they say, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. Take a sip.
Habanerose: There is also the option that Archie was just acting shocked, at least well enough to fool Dean (as he was described as a rather clueless guy), and just wanted to make sure to leave some
more fingerprints in the bedroom (which Dean would then confirm to have happen when he searched his button), as a way to justify the discovery of possible fingerprints on the crime scene...
Yeah. This attempt of his is in line with what is said of him as being a clumsy/clueless guy.
ashwald: Pah! Hearsay is
fun you overserious spoilsports!
:) Agreed. I vote to have ashwald get a private session/interview with the coworker so that all the details the witness has to offer can be fleshed out properly to ashwald's satisfaction.
sunshinecorp: Look. The most logical explanation for the bathroom, as I see it, is that Darleen was running herself a bath just before she died. Whoever killed her just didn't notice or didn't bother to turn the water off. Occam's razor, dudes.
That is a possible reason. But couldn't the taps have been opened by her killer who went to wash away some blood that got on their clothes inadvertently?
Other than Occam's razor, its good to also consider what some chap somewhere was once said: "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
yogsloth: Puzzlemaster. Get on with it before I confess to the crime myself just to get some action!
Puzzlemaster, do let this happen. Can we hear the confession now?
