Three cold cases. Three different eras. Each one is a 6-month mystery delivered to your door — 12 evidence packets filled with detective notes, witness statements, coded messages, and buried secrets. Pick your case. Start investigating.
Eleanor Hargrove, 34, was last seen leaving the Monarch Theatre on a January night. Her coat was found draped over the railing of Morrison Creek Bridge. Her car sat alone in the theatre parking lot. No body was ever recovered.
Police called it a probable suicide. The case was closed in six weeks. But Eleanor's mother never believed it. Neither did the bartender who served her that night. Neither did the detective who retired with this file on his desk.
Three witnesses. Three different stories. One of them is lying.
Marcus Webb, 58, was found dead in Room 416 of the Belmont Hotel after a fire tore through the fourth floor. The official report said he fell asleep with a lit cigarette.
There's just one problem: Marcus Webb didn't smoke.
A decorated hotelier. A lucrative insurance policy. A business partner with old-money connections and a 45-minute gap in his alibi. The fire destroyed nearly everything in that room — but not the truth.
Catherine Marsh was found at the base of the cliffs below Dunmore Point Lighthouse on a cold March morning. The constable wrote "accidental fall in dense fog" and closed the case the same week.
But the lighthouse log tells a different story. The fog had cleared hours before Catherine fell. The night was clear. The path was familiar. She'd walked it a thousand times.
A hidden diary. A sister-in-law with a borrowed name. A shipping fortune hanging in the balance. The sea keeps its secrets — but the lighthouse keeper's wife left hers in the walls.
Delivered every 2 weeks for 6 months. Detective notes, witness statements, newspaper clippings, coded messages, photographs, and surprise artifacts.
Each packet reveals new information. Some clues are obvious. Some are hidden. Connect the dots, question the witnesses, and build your case.
The final packet reveals the truth. How much did you get right? Compare your theory with what actually happened. Then pick your next case.
