IRRELEVANT. SEE ABOVE AS TO THE REASON FOR “DEPENDS ON THE LOCALE”.
In case that wasn’t worded clearly, I was watching for people to follow up on the “Depends on the locale” comment, which might have led such a person to find out about the crime.
Did he kill his wife’s lover?
YES …the neighbor’s dog that had been keeping him up at night?
NO Was it his male lover?
NO or his male lovers’ lover?
NO
Do I get a cigar now?
NOT YET. Was his brother his wife’s lover?
NO Or, his father?
NO Or, his sister?
NO Let’s don’t go for mother.
NO Now, a cigar?
NO, THANKS. I DON’T SMOKE.
So, the guy’s a DJ. He puts the station on automatic to go kill his wife and her lover. On his way back to the station, the record starts to skip, and he realizes his alibi is blown. So he kills himself. Eh?
Ok, his wife’s lover was a family member?
NO If not, did he kill both his wife and her lover?
YES!
NOW you get your cigar.
Along with Arnold: Did the man work as a DJ at the radio station? billehunt: Did he put a record on to create an alibi, then drive across town to commit a crime, then on the way back realize the jig was up? and murder
and fippo: Who put it all together in the post under yours.
Sounds good. Bricker only gives virtual cigars. Not much taste to them anyway. Besides, I don’t smoke. So, how about that bottle of rum? You want my address so you can send it to me?
