Murder Mystery Synopsis

Have you ever wanted to assist a homicide detective with a nationally publicized murder investigation? This is your opportunity to step into the shoes of Dr. Casey Gold, a leading criminal psychologist and director of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Detective Hunter Kincaid of the Devil’s Creek Police Department has requested your immediate assistance. Forty-year-old private investigator Benjamin Crum was found murdered inside his home, and the case is attracting worldwide attention. Ben was also the sole witness in the recent murder investigation of the town’s mayor, creating questions about whether the two deaths are connected.

It is now the critical 48-hour mark following Ben’s murder. You must examine the evidence, investigate six witnesses, identify contradictions, reconstruct the timeline, and determine who murdered Benjamin Crum. Can you solve the case before the killer gets away?
