| Abstract: | A despicable crime has been committed in the second floor lounge of the Biology Building at around 9:00 p.m. The insect display case in the lounge has been vandalzed, and the rare Egyption scarab beetle is missing, but its identification tag is left, and is found covered in a saliva-type mucus. A near-sightned custodian on his way out of the building noticed several people celebrating the night before in the lounge. He thinks both males and females were among the inviduals present. Three people have admitted to being in the Biology Building at the time the crime took place. None claim to have spent time in the lounge celebrating or to have committed the crime. The custodian's wife who was waiting for her husband outside, and who sees clearly has positively identified all three as entering the building. Soda cans, cigarette butts, sunflower seeds, chewing gum, a contact lens, an apple core and a recent issue of the magazine, Incredible Edible Insects, have been found at the scene of the crime. |
