Well done, Trisha - another detective trying to find the marshmallow thief has come up with an interesting explanation!

Marshmallow Case

In Gulf Harbour School there’s been a missing marshmallow crisis that has gone wild! I believe Mrs Southgate, Ritchie, or Mrs Steel is one of the thieves! And I have proof.

First of all I believe Mrs Southgate the deputy principal is surely guilty of stealing the principal Mrs Crosbie’s marshmallows. Once, she was tip toeing around the school, and when people asked her what she was doing, she ran away leaving a suspicious clue. Also after she left one of the classrooms, there was a suspicious cut of marshmallow packet. She even has access to every single room in the school! Therefore, she might have used those keys to open up Mrs Crosbies office and took her marshmallow because she was walking to the office very oddly. Now there’s proof right  there but, there still is 2 more sneaky suspects…

Suspect number 2, Ritchy the caretaker of the school. He after school  and goes around fixing and cleaning things. He might have sneakily used his keys to to unlock Mrs Crosbies office and took her stash of marshmallows because I saw him in the office alone just a few days ago! Also, nobody really sees him much in his shed, which means he must be stealing some marshmallows because he always gets called in the office! This explains the size of the hand print on the library walls! The time that the handprint mystery happened, Ritchie passed by with some weird white powder on his hand. That is suspicious.

Last but not least Mrs Steel the little kids teacher and leader. She always comes in and out of her classroom everyday like usual, but one day outside her classroom door was a white marshmallow! I asked her and she didn't say anything which made me curious. Also she has marshmallows in her office that gets me strangely even more curious. Last piece of evidence, she has a little secret office all to herself, and one time I was sent to put something away in her office and when I came in, I saw a packet of marshmallows!

There you go. By concluding this letter I am telling everyone to keep an eye on these suspects, and if there’s anything suspicious, then that may be the one. However, only one of them is the evil marshmallow stealer.
