▸ I can't solve the note found in Joe's pocket?

Aaron from IT wrote a coded note to Joe. The name of The Amazing Race episode was "Uglier than a mud rail fence." Rail Fence were the missing words, which is the name of the cipher used to code the note. The number 3 was the key to use for the cipher.

So using a Rail Fence cipher with a key of 3, the note reads:

"Mr C. I looked into your query and your suspicions are correct. JC is stealing money from the company. They didn’t try too hard to hide it either. Looks like at least fifty thousand in the last year. Do you want me to dig deeper and find out the exact amount? A"

▸ I'm not sure I'm finding everything in the database!

These are the kindsa keywords ya should search for:

• Names - victims, suspects, and other people who're mentioned.
• Places.
• Things mentioned that are specific to a case... ask yourself why a suspect might have told Jimmy a certain thing if it seems random.

▸ What else do you know?

I know I tell ya this all the time, but let me tell ya again. A murderer always needs three things… opportunity, means, and motive. If someone don't have one of 'em, they probably ain't guilty.

Make a timeline if ya get stuck. Can’t hurt to know who was where and when, now can it?
