CRIME: One normal Tuesday bank tellers and customers casually went about their day in Uptown Savings, a local bank. Just then Paul Wincey, the owner, came from behind the counter heading out for lunch break and fainted on the way to the door. As he fell his keys to the bank’s vault dropped from his hand and landed inches from his unconscious body. Tellers and customers then crowded around him to make sure he was all right. Paula Quincy, a close friend of the owner, dashed to get some water to help him recover. By this time an alarm was blaring through the building. After he woke up, Paul reached for his keys and let out a screech. They had vanished! Someone come pick me up!

Investigation: As the bank alarm sounded police rushed to the scene with a private detective to investigate the bank’s vault. In the vault, police found a single bag of twenty dollar bills remaining. The police swiped for fingerprints, but, sadly found none. The culpri t must have only touched the bags of money he had run away with. Joe Fraser, a spacey police officer on the spot, took another sip of his Diet Pepsi and contemplated the situation with his son who was accompanying him on the case. Then, Joe popped up from his desk chair with an idea. The bank crew and the son watched the security cameras with intent faces and wide eyes. For hours the cameras showed regular activity in the bank until a fat man scurried across the bank’s floor to the bathroom. Moments later, a fat woman appeared out of the men’s room wearing lady garments and the same dark mustache as the man. Joe didn’t seem to notice anything wrong. His son halted him and they reviewed the tape. “ Suspicious,” Joe added. He thanked his son as they walked to the door and exited.

Solution : The next morning the father and son found the culprit in the bank’s computer. According to their research the woman’s name was Ruth Wells and she was pretending to be a man in the bank. Her forgetful skills allowed her to forget to take off the fake mustache. Joe Fraser drove to the police station to inform the police about this break through in the mystery. He got his employees to help search for the woman and soon succeeded. Ruth was arrested that afternoon and the money was all returned to the bank. She lived a sad and sorrowful life in jail for 5 long years and when she was released she opened up her own bank. Joe hired his son to help full time at the police station and went about life arresting culprits left and right.
