Case File #1220

We can’t seem to catch a break—yet another tragedy has struck the museum!

After the murder of our museum director last year, our esteemed Professor Fisher has just been found dead in the gallery under mysterious circumstances. Preliminary investigations suggest that he was murdered.

Our investigators have rounded up five suspects—surely one of them has both the motive and means to kill Prof Fisher? Or could any of them be in cahoots? Here are the recorded statements.

Manuka Miller: A research visitor currently working to publish a research paper on illegal wildlife trade with Prof Fisher. Manuka has been feeling stressed out working on the paper.

Dippy Terry: A museum outreach & education officer who conducts guided tours and workshops at the museum. Dippy has increasingly been feeling jaded at work.

Rove Reed: A research assistant working on entomology projects with Prof Fisher. Rove was reprimanded by the professor during a local field trip recently.

Nikki Chinaj: A former part-timer who worked for Prof Fisher. Nikki got fired by him recently.

Kev Krebs: A university student working on his final year assignment on rhino horn trade under the supervision of Prof Fisher. Kev received an ‘F’ grade from the professor for one of the major components in his project.

Even after bearing down hard on them in gruelling interrogations, not one of them cracked. But well of course they wouldn’t confess so easily!

The game is afoot!

Our investigators are baffled, and spirits are low in the museum. We need your help to turn this case around and bring the criminal to justice, through some good old-fashioned detective work!
