Case File No. 3 · The Witness Trail
One witness swore he was innocent. One accuser swore he was guilty. Both are hidden in the records manifest. Identify them to close the case for good.
The printed mystery is complete on its own. The Witness Trail is a bonus challenge.
Someone on shift turned this in to the Case Desk. No signature. Just a name, an accusation, and the certainty that everyone who worked a long shift with Arlan already knew the truth.
"Check whatever you want. But don't waste your time feeling sorry for him. He did it."
The accuser was sure. One witness wasn't. Both are somewhere in the records — find them below.
Solve each clue set, then enter that person's first name, role code, and zone code from the manifest. Both must match the hidden file.
The Witness Trail is optional and does not affect the printed mystery. If both people match the hidden file after you confirm your email, the Case Closure File is sent to your inbox.
