Goodbye

Readers, I would like to thank you for taking this crazy journey with me. With your help, we were able to solve the case.

I will no longer be posting on this blog, nor answering e-mails. This is a chapter in my life that is best closed now... yet how exciting and strange it was!

Journalism can really change things, as we have seen from this blog. What's next for me? I'm not really sure. I will be returning to Drake in the fall, however, to continue my education. I think I may stay out of the blogosphere for a little bit, however.

Yours truly,
Kate Blanche

And in the end...

We've concluded our investigations and have put together this video to show what exactly happened at Murder in Black and White on May 16.

Investigators, we appreciate your support. With your help, we were able to catch this terrible criminal.

A special thanks to investigation team #17. Team members Chuck, Marilyn, and Stephen showed an incredible degree of smarts, motivation, and logic in order to crack the case. Great job, guys.

Here's what we discovered:

It's All Over

Two deaths, but we found the culprit, Mrs. Ann Black, who appeared on this blog as a kindergarten teacher. We'll have a full report later.

Too Close

I guess we're getting too close to the truth.

I can't go to the murder mystery. I don't want to be in such danger. But you, readers, can. She doesn't know who you are. Go there and catch this crazy person. I just hope no one gets hurt...

Be careful. This person does not seem to be stable.

Message Sent to Facebook Users

Just recently a stern message was sent to around 40 Facebook members, warning them not to interfere with "A" 's plans. Again, we must proceed with caution as the date of the murder mystery grows near.

Evidently this "A" character also knows about Kate and doesn't like what we're doing at her blog--trying to crack the case before anything happens. We need you to help us solve the puzzles that we've received to stop this lunatic!

Stay on your toes and don't panic. We have to stay strong and fight whoever is doing this!

--Jonathan K. Noir, Head of Investigations

Another Puzzle to Solve...

After a brief time of not receiving anything from this "watcher" guy, I received a rather frightening attachment in my e-mail today. I wonder how to put this one together...

It seems like these puzzles are getting more intense as we go on. I can't figure that out...

Thanks, Kate

Hello readers!

Thank you, Kate, for that nice introduction. As she said, I am Jonathan Noir and I would like to help this investigation as much as possible. In fact, I am the head of major investigations for the nearby area. These clues that keep being sent to Kate are deeply disturbing and concerning. We have reason to believe that a major plot has been formed by this "A" person as referenced in the letter that Kate first received. We're not yet exactly sure what this plan entails; however, it seems like it will be extremely dangerous. We must proceed with caution while investigating.

Be on your toes, readers, as we do not know yet how dangerous "A" may be. It seems like one ally that we do have is "The Watcher from the Darkness," who keeps sending us clues to discover the truth about "A."

Contact me if you have any questions and, above all, proceed with caution.

I'll be in touch.

Jon Noir

A New Team Member

Hey guys, I would like to introduce a new team member to this blog. His name is Jon Noir and wants to help us with these clues that we keep getting. The investigation is growing more intense and I'm becoming more concerned, especially as we've begun to unravel the true depth of these clues.

With that out of the way, I must make a recommendation for all of our readers. Murder in Black and White, a courtroom drama/murder mystery will be performed at Pleasant Valley High School at 7pm. I have seen previous productions at this school and they are very interesting and enjoyable. I will be there myself!

Also, if you mention my name while you're purchasing your tickets, you will get a special token of my appreciation for reading my blog and also seeing the mystery and supporting the arts. Hope to see you there!

More to come...

An Audio Clue

It sounds like he's pronouncing something very slowly... but what?

A Name Game?

The third puzzle just came. It must have something to do with music, but I'm not exactly sure what...
