And now for the solution:
After reading the clues, we can rule out Mayor Abscissa Adams, as she is the victim and has no motive to steal an uninsured item she owns herself. That leaves us with 5 suspects.
One of the clues tells us the thief drives a black Nissan.
We know that the person who drives a black Nissan wore blue
shoes, so we know the thief wore blue shoes.
We know that the person who wore blue shoes weighs
190 lbs., so we know that the thief drives a black Nissan, wore blue shoes, and
weighs 190 lbs.
We know that the person who weighs 190 lbs.
does not have curly hair, so we know that the thief drives a black Nissan, wore
blue shoes, weighs 190 lbs., and does not have curly hair.
Bob Beacham
is eliminated because he weighs 210 lbs.
Chris
Cavanaugh is eliminated because he drives a green Toyota.
Ella Eames is eliminated because she wore brown shoes.
Francis
Fairfield is eliminated because he has curly hair.
The only person left is Dale Davidson, and he is the thief.
