Not in for the prices, but I'll make a guess anyways ;)

If it's correct, you can always leave the guessing open for someone who actually wants them...


Anyways, +1 for the nice idea, too bad people seem too intimidated by the wall of text (don't worry, it just wants to play)

Hurray.

A companion at last! xD

Gonna ask a questions, since it's "encouraged".

When during the 13th did Mr. Rutherford return? (hope this one is fine)

Just doubt a very useful one. Usually rather bad at puzzles.

Oh, hello, for some reason I didn't see this.
The answer to this question doesn't really have much bearing on the case, but just for the sake of giving you an answer, let's say he arrived that morning.

Hmmm...

I'll join in, though I'll probably just spout crazy conspiracy theories. ;-P

But I've got a few questions, and I might as well put them here...


So Damian was killed with a single blow? Have I got that right?

In that case, which of the girlfriends worked out regularly?

Also, is Fia Miko's partner alive? Or is Miko a widow? And was/is the partner male or female?

Did Damian lie to the chief of a mountain tribe prior to his death?

Lol. I actually re-read the whole thing because of your question.

Well played.

Hey, for crazy conspiracy theories, you sound like the perfect guy for my upcoming game.

1. Yes, he was killed with a single blow.
2. They all could have killed him. It's not so much how much force he was stabbed with as much as it is the fact he got stabbed directly in the heart. Plus, the killer was jealous, and passion can bring on a good amount of power, so nobody can be eliminated from this question.
3. She is married to a potato that looks kinda like Guybrush Threepwood.
He was lying on the floor when found, if that counts.

Puzzly bump.

Question:

What was the present, if there was any, that Mrs. Richards gave to Mr. Rutherford the day before his death?
And was it still on the place of the crime?

Also, Bumpy Bump.

It doesn't really matter. Just for the sake of giving you something, I'll say it was a watch, and he wasn't wearing it.

Congratulations to Habanerose for being the first to solve the mystery! He's not interested in the prize, however, so it's still up for grabs for anybody who still wants to take a shot.

Congrats! Im still puzzled by the puzzle.

Congratulations to mikopotato for solving the mystery! No more prizes are offered, but if anybody stumbles upon this dead thread and wants to solve the puzzle, they're welcome to it.

Thank you! Had fun.. now i need a brain surgery.
