METHOD OF INVESTIGATION

Alice

Low. No clear motive; second-to-last to see Alan alive.

Probably cleared. Could not have walked to Alan’s house and back in time. Check to see if any strangers with cars in town? Could have had co-conspirator? (Unlikely)

Blonde woman (possibly Alan’s ex-wife) seen with him in diner on day of death

Moderate. Spouse/ex-spouse always a suspect; saw Alan on afternoon of death. Financial motive?
