Clues inside Clues!

While practicing our analytical ability this morning when I discovered that there was a print out in the printer.  Lisa said she had not printed it.  It was directions on how to open a dial combination padlock.  While we were working on this dancing men cipher, Lisa informed us that this box


had arrived on the front steps.

We also discovered that there was a partial footprint nearby.





We determined it was a large foot, and could have been a male or a tall female.  Hannah accidentally stepped into the print, but we couldn't do much with it anyway.

The box was locked by a padlock, so we decided to continue deciphering the directions so we could open the box

Inside the box we found a book, Learn French, and it was burnt and had gray hairs in it.  What could it mean.

When we pick up the box, we discovered another cipher, perhaps dropped by mistake.

So far, the prime suspect is Maggie, with an unknown accomplice.


Maggie is the stylish woman in the middle picture.  I am the hunky hat-wearing guy in the lower left.

Other suspects are, clockwise, from top left: Hecate, Olivia's grandmother, who likes old books and is to hold the $8000 dollars for the kidnappers.  Olivia, in league with her friend Sophie, who may have faked a kidnapping to raise money for a trip to Paris.  Lisa, Olivia's mother, who is tired of telling Olivia she can't go to Paris.  And Woody, who is so handsome, he must be up to something!  In the center is the prime suspect: the sister, who admitted she needs $8000 dollars for college!
