Deadline Hints
How did the killer enter?
1 of 17: Well, there was no forced entry on the door.
2 of 17: And the stairs are incredibly creaky, so no one could have crept up them without someone knowing.
3 of 17: So maybe they didn't get into Robner's room via conventional methods.
4 of 17: Really, the other possible entryway is pretty obvious.
5 of 17: Check out the rug in Robner's room.
6 of 17: Mud, huh? Maybe the killer had their shoes in some mud.
7 of 17: Now look at the balcony.
8 of 17: Look at the railings.
9 of 17: Scratch marks! So, someone must've climbed up!
10 of 17: There's some more evidence to be found, though.
11 of 17: Look at the ladder in the shed.
12 of 17: There's mud on the ladder, suggesting that it was put somewhere in the mud.
13 of 17: About 11:30, talk to McNabb about what's bugging him (Type MCNABB, WHAT'S WRONG?).
14 of 17: Ask him to show you the holes.
15 of 17: Follow him and look for the holes.
16 of 17: Could it be possible that this was where the ladder was placed so someone could climb up onto the balcony?
