The Bellweather Hotel

Who Framed Veda Hayes?

Case Summary

Nora Bellman was found dead inside the Bellweather Hotel during the final night of the Winter Quill Awards. By morning, the police had a suspect: Veda Hayes.

Her name was in the room-change records. Her access looked suspicious. The registry placed her close enough to the crime for everyone to stop looking elsewhere.

Then an unsigned note reached the case desk.

An unsigned handwritten letter on aged, stained paper. It reads: I do not know who else to trust. Veda Hayes did not do this. I have spoken to two people at the hotel. They both saw enough to know she is innocent, but neither one will come forward while the killer is still free. I will not give my name either. Not yet. Check the records carefully. Mark lightly if you decide to look for us after you find the killer.
