Title: MDK 2
Post by Iceman on Jan 7^th, 2009, 11:15am

Jonathan was murdered in his house by his old friend. The police found Timothy at the crime scene, Jonathan’s nine years old son. He was hiding in the closet and he witnessed the murder. Timothy suffers from autism, so when the detective White asked him what happened, Timothy said the strangest thing: Jimmy Nielsen had a red rose in his left hand. He gave it to Oliver Andersen, who placed it in the New Testament. Humphrey Silver took the New Testament and threw it in the fireplace. Nick Harrison made a paper rose from a page from Old Testament. That was all the detective got out of Timothy. Who committed the murder??

Is the name supposed to be one of the ones in the italics?

If so, then Nick Harrison, because in order to make a paper rose, you have so sorta throttle the top... And also because in the he makes the rose out of a page he rips out of the old Testament, and because the victim was killed by a friend, it's like he's casting away his old friend. And he was the only one who had nothing to do with the New Testament

Correct. I don't know much about how autism manifests itself though.

[hide]Take the first letter in each name mentioned in italics. The beginning letters of the first names spell out J-O-H-N and the beginning letters of the last names spell out N-A-S-H. [/hide]

I see, I see. Hadn't a clue when reading the riddle, didn't even know in which direction I should go with the information. But upon seeing the solution I instantly knew how it was solved.
