Whodunit? Daniel Kilraine was killed on a lonely road, two miles from Pontiac, at 3:30 A.M. on March 3, 1997. Otto, Curly, Slim, Mickey, and The Kid were arrested a week later in Detroit and questioned. Each of the five made four statements, three of which were true and one of which was false. One of these men killed Kilraine. Whodunit? Their statements were:

Curly: “I did not kill Kilraine. I never owned a revolver in my life. The Kid knows me. I was in Detroit the night of March 3rd.”
Slim: “Curly lied when he said he never owned a revolver. The murder was committed on March 3rd. One of us is guilty. Otto was in Chicago at the time.”
Mickey: “I did not kill Kilraine. The Kid has never been in Pontiac. I never saw Otto before. Curly was in Detroit with me on the night of March 3rd.”
