ABSTRACT

Witnesses who claimed to have seen a teenager running in the mall or acting suspiciously were questioned by the mall security. Some of the witnesses were found to be reliable. The witnesses were asked if they had noticed a young person in the mall with a giant cookie or one who was acting suspiciously. In addition, they will review the statements made by a variety of witnesses who claimed to have seen the culprit at the mall. Only six of the fourteen witnesses are reliable; that is, their statements match up with the evidence obtained from the solution of the logic puzzles. The students will determine which statements are valid and, therefore, which suspect is the culprit. Using the statements made by the six witnesses, ask students to reconstruct on their maps of the mall what Otis did after he committed the crime.
