The first thing you will need to do is determine which suspect is assigned to which room. For this you will need the hints on the back of each suspect card and the map of The Hideaway Motel
Use the statements on the back of each suspect card to determine which room they were staying in on the night of the murder
Lenny-office, Harley (1b), Scott (2a), Frannie (2b), Alfonzo (3a), Megan (3b), Horace (4b), Jennifer (5a), Bradley (5b)
In order to determine who the killer is, you will need to establish a timeline. You will need to account for the whereabouts of all the suspects in order to determine which of them couldn’t be the killer.
The first thing you will need to accomplish this is to determine the time of death. The coroner has given an approximate time, but you need something more specific.
The cell phone data sheet and the crime scene report should help establish this. Take note of the fact that the victim’s phone was shattered
Time of death: 12:20 am
Read through all of the interviews to begin filling in gaps for the timeline.
Frannie West provides information for the timeline.
Bradley Raymond provides information that will lead to establishing his part of the timeline. Horace Perkins provides information for the timeline.
Frannie West talks about listening to Alfonzo Perez through the wall and mentions that he was speaking in a code of some sort.
Alfonzo speaks by using a series of country and state names.
Take the first letter of each word and use that to uncover a hidden message.
I’m onto this cop but she doesn’t know it. The deal still goes down tonight at twelve fifteen. Vending machine. Leave the cash in the drop. I will leave the good stuff.
Based on his interview we know that Lenny Carson is the manager of The Hideaway Motel
The note with the strange series of letters is on stationery that says “From the desk of the manager,” so we would conclude that the message is authored by him. A handwritten addition to the note says to “Remember The Hideaway Motto”
The door hanger features the motto: “Staying with us is as easy as 1-2-3.” An arrow is drawn, jumping from the 1 to the 3. This is the hint for how to decode this puzzle. Skip every other letter in the strange series of letters and pull out the hidden message. Part of the timeline will be filled in with the solution to this puzzle.
Hey Martin let’s have a little fun with Horace. Meet me at the office at twelve twenty. I have the alien costume. You take care of the lighting.
In his interview Bradley Raymond claims to be able to verify his whereabouts at the time of the murder that involve an email he sent to his agent.
He gives you the two necessary components to unlocking the email. This involves his newest collection of short stories.
Scan the code on the book card advertising his new collection and obtain the necessary information from the Amazon page. Use the information to unlock the file and add this information to the timeline.

This puzzle has a series of numbers with no real reference as to what the numbers could mean.
Examine the room key card and obtain a hint about how to convert numbers to letters
Do this for the entire alphabet. Apply this to the code and decipher the message
I know who The Magpie is. My life is in danger because of what I possess. If something happens to me, question the accomplice who works here. They have been stealing things from guests. Use their full name
There are five columns of letters that can be manipulated to provide a message
Reorder the columns in such a way that words form from left to right.
By reordering the five columns you should get these two words on the top row “I have…”. Once you’ve pulled out the entire message, do what it tells you to do.
I have a valuable item for sale. Silver stones amulet. The Eye of Zanzibar. If interested, email me at magiciansassistant27 at gmail dot com
In her interview Frannie makes a strange reference to a specific item from the vending machine.
Use the schematic of the vending machine to determine the number/letter of the item
Note that this number/letter matches up with a specific room at The Hideaway. Once you’ve determined which suspect is staying in that room, you can use the information she provides to help establish where that person was during the chain of events.
The Scavenger leaves a message for MagiciansAssistant27 but it isn’t readable in its current form.
The message is written backwards
Start and the end and read toward the beginning. This will help determine who The Scavenger is.
I am a very serious collector and will be glad to purchase your item. I will be there at The Hideaway with the money. I will be the guy with the beard.
The number puzzle (found among victim’s personal effects in 3b) tells you what you need to unlock this. Solve the number puzzle first. There are three people who might be options for the solution to this. Read through all of the information about each suspect to determine who fits the description including the report about locker contents. Also, read the Wanted poster (particularly what sorts of crimes The Magpie is known to commit) to help determine the right answer

Once you’ve discovered who the accomplice is, the person will give you the necessary information to unlock this.
In order to do this you must identify The Scavenger.
The Den of Thieves sheets will provide this information (specifically the coded message).

Once you’ve unlocked the Wanted Poster (see previous step) you will be told that the key to opening the safe behind the painting in The Hideaway Office is determining which suspects are innocent.
Use the letters from each innocent suspect’s room in the order they occur.
It will take six letters to unlock this (consisting of a series of A’s and B’s)

Ruby leaves a clue in the Wanted Poster information that consists of two birds facing each other
The location of the key in relation to the birds is significant
Find the letters that are between the birds that are facing each other.
Scott Bailey is also known as Casey London
The card asks you to provide the both of the killer’s last names
In the puzzle you solved that was found behind the painting you were given a suspect’s name and the suspect’s alias. At this point you should have eliminated everyone but this person. This person is therefore the killer.
Use the killer’s real last name and the last name of the alias to unlock the box solution.
