Three suspects have alibis with some form of independent corroboration — badge logs, restaurant records, or witnesses. Check E04 carefully. One suspect has a 51-minute window with no badge activity anywhere on campus. Ask: where was their vehicle during that window?

💡 Hint 2 — COST: −10 points

Read E07 (Medical Kit Log) alongside E02 (Toxicology). The same substance appears in both documents, separated by 24 hours. Now look at E06 (Petty Cash Audit) — five payments, all authorised by the same person, all to a company with no invoices on file. Who incorporated that company, and when? Check E13 for the answer.

💡 Hint 3 — COST: −20 points

The badge that opened Trailer Block C at 20:07:41 belonged to the Director — but she was confirmed in the editing suite from 17:35 onwards by two independent witnesses. The jacket with the badge was hanging unattended on a hook since 17:30. Someone borrowed it. FSL measured the Block C figure at 175–181 cm — check E12 and compare against all five suspects' heights. Only one person fits. That same person's vehicle was absent from the lot between 19:51 and 20:40, and their phone controlled the number saved as "NK" in the victim's contacts — see E16.
