Tourist Trap

‍  

‍www.crimescene.com  |   22 March 2024 

Hello, Officer  

A 911 call reported that a groundskeeper had discovered a body on the grounds of Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's home.

At the scene, Detectives Armstrong and Murphy found a dead man, who appeared to be from a foreign country, and several upset Rowan Oak employees.

Why would someone kill a visitor at one of Oxford's top tourist attractions?

Examine the evidence, and share your thoughts in the comments and the forum.

Tip: Want to catch up on what's happened so far? Check out the Tourist Trap recap.

Coming up … can the victim's traveling companions explain what he was doing in town or why he ended up dead?
