John
John is an amateur tennis player. The day after the crime, he went to a tournament where he played against a man who had nothing to do with the tragedy.
Jack
Jack moved into town a year before the crime. He grew up on a tiny island where most of the locals are fishing. Unsurprisingly, Jack’s dream is to buy a fishing boat.
Steve
Steve works as a model and has a passion for himself. A few days before the murder, he began posing for another person involved in the case, Bill, for one of his paintings.
Bill
Bill is a famous portrait painter. He said he could make a portrait of Steve in about a week.
Alex
Immediately after the crime, Alex traveled to Antarctica on an expedition to study aquatic life. He is still in the South Pole, along with 20 other scientists.
Additional information
That is all we know about the perpetrators of the crime. In addition, the detective wrote the following important notes to the files:
- a week before the murder, the perpetrator broke his leg
