I have an interesting case for you today, but first, let’s look at last week’s Mystery Question:
A 19-year old girl robbed a bank and stole a Pontiac. It took the cops 24 hours to find her. Did she:
- Drop her billfold with her driver’s license as she ran out the door?
- Post a YouTube video about how she robbed a bank and stole a Pontiac?
- Brag about it on Facebook?
- Write the money demand on an envelope with her name and address on the front?
And the answer is…#2: Hannah Sabata is a 19 year old who robbed a bank and stole a Pontiac. Then she posted a YouTube video about how she robbed a bank and stole a Pontiac. Don’t criminals realize yet that the police monitor all the social media sites? 🙂
Now for this week.
An elusive serial killer was suspected of murdering six people, including a 22-year-old female police officer. Investigators were increasingly baffled by the case. DNA identified the killer was a woman and a reward for evidence leading to her arrest was offered, to no avail. When they finally arrested someone, they had to release the person. What was the problem?
- She was an identical twin and they had the wrong twin.
- When they arrested the person, they had to release him because DNA said the suspect was a woman.
- A woman at the factory where DNA cotton swabs were manufactured contaminated the swabs, giving a false DNA reading.
- Another murder was committed and the person caught confessed to the serial killings.

I am going to guess #3 – a woman at the DNA facility contaminated the sample

Hi Ellen! If you’re right, can you imagine the cases that would have to be retried?
I’ll bet it’s either #1 or #4, but I’m going to go with #1, the wrong identical twin 🙂

Hi Dee! Thanks for commenting…we’ll see next week, along with an article about the answer.
I think it is #1 identical twin.

That’s two for the identical twin, Paula. We’ll see next week.
This is a tough one, Patricia! I’m going to go with #1 just because it’s the most amusing. 🙂
Identical twin

Hey Sherry! We’ll see if it’s the identical twin…I think that’s 4 for #1. 🙂
This week I’m going with #1 the twin. I’ve read or seen cases on TV where this actually happened, so I could totally see it being true. I got last week’s guess correct 🙂 Thanks for the fun guessing games every week! Blessings.
