Best of news! Thanks to the help of the visitors of my website, holmesinspection.net I was able to prove that Rupert was guilty of the murder of his father! You must be asking how; he was seen jumping off of Brooklyn Bridge after a state of melancholy! But indeed Richard’s suicide was itself a ruse; he planned to fake his death by jumping off of Brooklyn Bridge, such that he would be intercepted by his son Rupert and taken to shore where he would have changed identities and go to Costa Rica with a fake passport. While he was there he would be able to access almost all of his money.

What he did not count on was that his son, his lawyer and his supposed co-conspirator, was not on board with his plan. With my pressing he confessed to the police that he agreed to help his father arrange his will and intercept his father after he jumped off Brooklyn Bridge to help fake his suicide; Richard – a former swimmer in High School – was able to swim to the bridge supports and be intercepted by Rupert in a speedboat. But for Richard the help of his son turned on him, as Rupert took his father far enough out to sea that he was able to push his father back into the waves and die! And no one would have been surprised seeing as the man who jumped off Brooklyn Bridge washed ashore one day, having apparently committed suicide!

As to the detail of how the testament – which was what led me to this shocking development in the first place – featured into Rupert’s plot, sadly I have sworn myself to be silent. I have recorded it in my notes, along with his confession, but in order that he may come cleanly I have engaged with great frustration in a deal. It is for Rupert and I (and my benefactor, whom I have sworn to give details) to know only.

Yet to make up for it there’s more great news; you helped me . I will be attending this Masquerade Ball and I am going to guess that the person who sent the invitation will be attending as well… let’s see who he is.

Yours Truly,

Sherlock Holmes
