Course 3: Kelley Murder Mystery Clues

Kelley Murder Mystery Clues

Only one bullet had been fired from Mr. Jones’ gun.

When the elevator operator saw Mr. Kelley, Mr. Kelley was bleeding slightly, but he did
not seem too badly hurt.

A knife with Mr. Kelley’s blood on it was found in Miss Smith’s yard.

The knife found in Miss Smith’s yard had Mr. Scott’s fingerprints on it.

Mr. Kelley had destroyed Mr. Jones’ business by stealing all his customers.

The elevator operator saw Mr. Kelley’s wife go to Mr. Scott’s apartment at 11:30 p.m.

The elevator operator said that Mr. Kelley’s wife frequently left the building with Mr.
Scott.

Mr. Kelley’s body was found in the park.

Mr. Kelley’s body was found at l:30 a.m.

Mr. Kelley had been dead for one hour when his body was found, according to a
medical expert working with police.

The elevator operator saw Mr. Kelley go to Mr. Scott’s room at 12:25 a.m.

The elevator operator went off duty at 12:30 a.m.

It was obvious from the condition of Mr. Kelley’s body that it had been dragged a long
distance.

Miss Smith saw Mr. Kelley go to Mr. Jones’ apartment building at 11:55 p.m.

Mr. Kelley’s wife disappeared immediately after the murder.

Police were unable to locate Mr. Scott after the murder.

When police tried to locate Mr. Jones after the murder, they discovered that he had
disappeared and could not be found.

The elevator operator said that Miss Smith was in the lobby of the apartment building
when he went off duty.

Miss Smith often followed Mr. Kelley.

Mr. Jones had told Mr. Kelley that he was going to kill him.

Miss Smith said that nobody left the apartment building between 12:25 and 12:45 a.m.

Mr. Kelley’s blood stains were found in Mr. Scott’s car.

Mr. Kelley’s blood stains were found on the beige carpet in the hall outside Mr. Jones' apartment. When he was discovered dead, Mr. Kelley had a bullet hole in his thigh and a knife
wound in his back.

Mr. Jones shot at an intruder in his apartment building at 12:00 midnight.

The elevator operator reported to police that he saw Mr. Kelley at 12:15 a.m.

The bullet taken from Mr. Kelley’s thigh matched the gun owned by Mr. Jones.




Your job is to determine the following:

• Who is murdered?
• Who is the murderer?
• What was the motive?
• What was the murder weapon?
• Where and when did the murder take place?
