Suicide Mystery

“I heard about a local murder on the news today,” said Detective Julimberg.

"Yes, the one about the suicide," Officer Kaybell responded.

"That one. It seems a little queer to me. I'm not sure it was a suicide." Julimberg stated.

“Would you like me to take you to the scene?” questioned Officer Kaybell.

The two men arrived at the crime scene, off the coast of Newport Beach. Julimberg stepped out of the car and walked over to the crime scene. He examined the body, which had drowned in the ocean. The owner of the house, near the beach, is the man who found the body washed up on shore.

Under the collar of the body’s shirt, it looked like there were scratches and marks on his neck. "What's that on his neck..." Julimberg thought to himself. Julimberg interviewed the resident of the house, but got very few answers. The man was very quiet and didn’t want to speak to anyone. The man said that he found the body early that morning. He was taking a walk down the beach when he discovered a man lying there. He called the police immediately. That’s all we got out of him. 

"It looks like the body hadn't been in the water for very long. We suspect that Tristan, the body, tied himself, or his clothing, to a wooden board with rope. He then jumped into the ocean, off his boat, and committed suicide." said Kaybell.  

 “I’m certain this wasn’t a suicide!” shouted Detective Julimberg.  // **How did Julimberg Know?** //
