Crime Case 2
Date:_____________
On Monday, George lost 15 dollars and 8 cents to Neil in their weekly card game. On Tuesday,
George entered Neil’s deli. Both men were known to have bad tempers and had previously come
close to fighting each other over cards, but this time the fight was to the death, as we can tell from
Neil’s dead body.
All that the police could learn from witnesses who had heard the argument before Neil’s
death was that George had shouted out in English, “That’s all you’ll get!” Neil had responded
angrily in Spanish, whereupon George became even angrier. Can you predict where the murder
weapon came from?
1. Was Neil eating when George came into the store? Yes No
Reason for your analysis:
2. Whose footprints are shown? Neil’s George’s
Reason for your analysis:
3. Did Neil return to his table at any time after leaving it? Yes No
Reason for your analysis:
4. Where did the murder weapon probably come from?
