Case 02: Hit & Run
Victim / Case Type:
Hit & Run - Julian Whiterspoon
Situation:
In a farming community on a strip of road about one mile from a diner the body of a young man, probably in his teens, was discovered about 20 feet from the road in an open field by some passers by. You are called to the scene to see a badly distorted body on the ground that is both bloody and broken. It seems as though the crime has not been older than an hour.

The Scene
There are skid marks on the ground that swerve one way and then to the next - most likely it was left by a heavy truck. You find some foot prints about 30 feet away from where the boy is located and they match his sneakers.
Probable Cause
It looks like a hit and run, but all the belongings of the victim seem to be spread all over the field as though someone was looking for something that he had.
Suspects
There are no immediate suspects other than the people (an elderly couple - Joneston) that actually reported it, but you do not see anything confusing about their story of coming from a Diner after dinner and then returning home before dark to see the body in the field.

No Solution
No one was able to post a solution to this case so it is closed for now. If you would like to post a solution then please contact me via the Contact Page.
So, let me see if I understand.
There was no one who posted an answer so you closed the board BUT if we would like to solve it, we can send you the answer via the contact page and it will reinstate (at your convenience of course! ) the RPG?
If that has changed since the board was closed (3 years almost) please let me know. Either way, I will be happy. It just looked like something I would like to try.
Thanks!
