Question

The Lunchroom Murder

On an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon police heard a shot inside the local bistro, Ernie’s Lunchroom. They rushed in and found the scene shown in Figure 1.4.
They identified the body as that of a prominent racketeer named Fannin. Ernie, who is both the owner and only employee, had only one fact to tell: the murderer had leaned against the wall while firing at point-blank range. The imprint of his hand is in clear view.
The police have also noticed that the cash register had just been rung up at $8.75.
This is a difficult case. Your investigative team must attempt to determine which of the people in the lunchroom killed Fannin. You will have to observe the details carefully. There is enough evidence to help you explain most of what happened.

QUESTION: Which set of footprints are Ernie’s? What is the evidence?

Answer 1

X set of footprints are ernies

Answer 2

i would say the X set of foot prints are ernies because the mop suggests he was mopping the floor and ran away threw the water when the shooter came it, but i also think the killer was Check C because they appear to be left handed and if they leaned against the wall with their right hand they would have shot with their left hand which would make that their dominate hand
