The suspect’s mom did not call. The secretary of the murder victim tried to cal the suspect.
I thought this puzzle was creative. The reference to Friday the 13th and public workers were good clues.
I think people sometimes expect too much from this comic strip. It has limited space to present the scenario with enough information to point to what happened and who did the crime. You are not going to get Sherlock Holmes in 6-8 panels of a comic strip.
Very good puzzle. I did not know that bit about the number on top. I thought it might have been the name of the truck not having the full company name on it.
This was a good puzzle. The clue was reasonable. Not enough information for the real world, but good enough for Inspector Danger.
