Bank Statement

• These are checks back and forth from Charlie and Antonio.
• A check for $5.00??
• What is with the memos?

• The checks are listed newest to oldest (within a few days' span of time). So the order would be:

  • C to A ($6,800 (WOW!)): "Return Cart Here" is dumb
  • A to C ($15.00): All of this is yours
  • C to A ($20.00): Moving isn't a "Product of our time"
  • A to C ($5.00): It Wasn't Out Door Figure Skating

• The check numbers themselves are too far-spaced out for checks to have been written in between. Could these be clues for how to decode the memo messages?

• The check numbers tell us in which order to read the words in the messages.

• Once decoded, from oldest to newest, the messages would read:

  • "Here is return"
  • "Is this all"
  • "Product isn't moving"
  • "Figure it out"

• So, Charlie was still pushing drugs (using Arthur Hughes' expired prescription of Diazepam) and was in business with Antonio Villar.

Corpse Photos

• These are photos of Charlie's corpse depicting the head trauma and strangulation bruises to the neck.

Drug Test Survey

• This is an outline of Michelle's observations when she asked the suspects if they would consent to drug tests.

  • Robyn Dupre seemed to answer with no qualms.
  • Arthur Hughes wanted to know how others answered... He claimed he hadn't been on any medications for a while. Why the prescription then, Arthur? Huh? Huh? Huh?
  • Susan Li consented in a calm manner. Maybe a little too calm?
  • Sarah MacDonagh was curious if her drug testing would speed up the investigation.
  • Nicholas Matsoukas agreed if it wouldn't clash with his schedule.
  • Aura McBride put up a fight before agreeing. Why?
  • Gavin Nash declined, playing the privacy-violation card, and was not too happy.
  • Neeta Patel agreed but was nosy about non-related issues pertaining to the case.
  • Antonio Villar thought Michelle was wasting time focusing on the wrong things and would not consent if asked.

Letter from Private Investigator

• Michelle explains that all evidence from the crime scene has been processed and that most of it has been sent back to her.
• She tells us of two more items she has sent us: the necklace and socks.
• She also got the toxicology report back and advises us to compare it with the autopsy report we received in Episode 2.

• Michelle states that she observed the suspects' reactions when asked if they would consent to a drug test.

  • She has included the observations in our package.

• Apparently, Arthur Hughes wrote a blog on the night of the murder. Hmm. The plot thickens...

  • Michelle took a screenshot of the blog and included it on her website. She instructs us on how to locate this file.
  • Ah, yes! She did include the video from the blog and gives us instructions on how to access this file as well.

• Michelle advises us to listen closely to the video, as some of the audio is slightly distracting.

• I hope Michelle gained access to the pharmacy logs legally!

  • Same goes for Charlie's bank account.

Opal Necklace

• This is a gold chain necklace with a white opal medallion.
• It was found in Charlie's car. Michelle thinks it may have been in the car before the night of the murder but it is included as evidence anyway.
• Could this have belonged to his wife, Sarah?

Pawn Shop Receipt

• What a name, Salamander Pawn!
• So, Charlie pawned off his class ring the year after graduation. This is the ring we received in Episode 2, according to Michelle's letter.
• Did Charlie buy it back or did someone else buy it, keep it all these years, and then leave it at the scene of the crime?
• Why did Charlie pawn the ring?

Pharmacy Ledger

• This shows that Arthur was refilling his Diazepam all the way through December. Same amount every time.

  • The refill numbers were never updated.
  • Each refill was admin-approved, meaning Charlie was refilling the prescription even though Arthur's script was expired.

Socks

• This is a black pair of socks with green alien heads printed on them. They are neatly folded and appear to be clean, perhaps never worn.
• They were found in Charlie's car. Michelle thinks they may have been in the car before the night of the murder but they are included as evidence anyway.

• In one of the socks is a folded piece of paper. It is blank.

  • Will a blacklight reveal a message?

• Once revealed, the message reads:

  • "Found these online, reminded me of HS. We should go back to the old delivery system ha ha."

• Were the socks a gift from Antonio to Charlie? Is that how they transferred drugs in high school, in their socks?

Toxicology Report

• Charlie proved positive for a major amount of anti-anxiety meds, one of which was prescribed to Arthur Hughes, made evident by the hidden prescription in Episode 2.

  • Greater than 800 ng/mg of diazepam found in his system.

• Charlie also tested positive for alcohol at .12, which is .4% over the legal limit.

• If we click on "Enhance", we can clearly hear the background conversation being held during the taping of Arthur's horrible rendition of "Danny Boy".

  • The conversation was between Charlie and Nic. Nic reveals a big secret that he wishes to be kept secret.
  • This further fuels my theory of Sarah and Nic having an affair. Nic accidentally spilled the beans in a moment of vulnerability and had to make sure Charlie stayed quiet.
