The mystery of the false leg

The false leg was found by Edna Mc Feckwit, a widow ever since her late husband passed away from choking on an oxtail bone shortly after WW2, she was dumping her left over jigsaw pieces into a hedge when she discovered the prosthetic limb.

The police were called and Detective Marsupial was put in charge of the case. A forensic team gathered the evidence and this was presented to the Detective who issued his statement to the gathered world press.

To the average person it was just a false leg left in a hedge but to a seasoned veteran like Marsupial something foul and sinister was afoot.

Murder and international fraud had occurred; he issued his profile of the suspect or suspects.

Suspect 1: A woman (allegedly) with the mind of a two year old who believed herself to be Miss World.
Suspect 2: A beach hating fisherman who was an avid hunter of faceless cyber entities.
Suspect 3: A Highly intelligent woman with an addiction to tea who walked faster than lightning.
Suspect 4: A Kind hearted animal lover with an artistic and poetic flair and penchant for Chinese takeaways.
Suspect 5: A writer, male with an international heritage that was never seen without something on his head.
Suspect 6: A nightshift worker, female with a need to be “seen to” Likes coffee and being in love.

More clues and possible suspects will be supplied as this investigation progresses.

Who is the guilty suspect and why?

Hi Cal, A definite suspect, rather like suspect 1 grin
Fun blog Map.....rolling on the floor laughing ....
1. Have the forensic team told us how long the limb has been in the hedge?

2. Which limb was it?



detective
Red, Of course its my writing, I'm not a copy/paste type of man.

Cal, Hopefully it will continuehug
Molly, The limb is a full left leg including foot, made from bakelite and wood, It has been in the hedge for about 3 weeks.

More clues:

There is a scent of lavender and small sticky areas on the thigh area.
Map do not get your knickers in a twist roll eyes I meant a book or writing for cs doh

Never thought you a copy and paste guy, teddybear
Hmmmmmmm.......drinking
Mimi!..........Bit early to be hitting the bottle!, any ideas?
Oh map thought I was mistaken doh but i am not moping
Lavender & thigh-sticky bits


Lavender would probably suggest a woman more, and a woman interested in scents and herbs at that

Thigh-sticky bits probably refer to a man more as I don't think any woman here has gotten lucky in the last month help
Molly, You are on the right track, I await forensics on the sticky substance, It does look like dried wall paper paste though.
Map, it's five o'clock somewhere! applause

Anyway, it's almost 5pm here wink


Well......hmmmm......none of the above. drinking
Mimi!!! reunion


Come play our game gotta go joy cartwheel gotta go joy
Mimi, Then Cheers!wine I always start at 10 thirsty so guilty of an alcoholic coma most days.
Awaiting a new clue, Map

I have narrowed it down, in my head, but need more proof detective
I think lavender is used in aromatherapy to calm people down. But then again it was extensively grown in world war one (or two, I often confuse them) for its antiseptic properties. So I'd say somebody really aggressive and old.
Molly reunion

I'd love to come out and play, doing all 'em cartwheel but you think I should? Looking like this?? uh oh

Mimi, That is the coolest hat I have ever seen, I want one, where do they sell them?
Solved... Georgie from the Famous Five.
Pat, Interesting thoughts, Lavender is also good for cuts, bruises and skin irritations, and alleviates headaches, perhaps the suspect was hurt or had a headache from over thinking the crime?
Map!! rolling on the floor laughing

I'm having my red streaks dyed in the salon, they are aluminium foils!

I'll save them for you when I come visiting grin
Mimi..aluminium foils! wow, Its amazing what modern technology allows these days, last time I had red streaks in my hair was from someone using an axe on my head.grin
Map, when I used to read the Famous Five, I used to identify with George help help help
Mimi, are you trying to turn Grumpybum on?

You know he has a thing for redheads!
Molly, That's fine, the alternative characters were somewhat stupid except the dog.

( I have the full collection of the famous five with quite a few First Editions)
Good blog but need more clues. Where's the rest of the body? popcorn
Oooohhhhhh....Molly blushing blushing giggle

Is it that obvious?? Hopefully Art doesn't read this blog uh oh
Did somebody call?

@Mimi, I will love your hair.
@Molls, you know I only have eyes for you.... Three of 'em!
Map, where were the coins from? detective
Awwwww......Grumps smitten


Molly

This IS war!! boxing boxing boxing


laugh hug bouquet
Mimi...I'm a lover not a fighter heart beating heart wings heart beating


grin
Molly, The coins are not much of a clue.

DNA results show most of the items collected for evidence contain dog saliva from at least 2 dogs, both female and the hair found stuck to the upper thigh also contained dog DNA.

The wet carrot contained female DNA and the greasy oven glove contained large amounts of Turmeric.
Oh jeez Map,

No. 3 looks pretty much the suspect here help

I shall go to a quick meeting and see what other people have come up with motorcycle gotta go motorcycle
Red, Dont know why you thought that about me, I didn't take anything wrong and certainly have never said anything bad to you, maybe I am more misunderstood than I thought, like you I come here for a bit of fun, seems that perhaps I shouldnt bother.

Molly, Perhaps number 3 is the prime suspect, lets see what evidence is presented by others, if anyone else can be bothered.
I'm going with Suspect 1. A sharper mind wouldn't have left so many clues.
the Brownthumbed Gardener dood it!laugh
Z, are you trying to incriminate No. 3 with concocted, yet true, evidence???
Suspect 6

Nightshift worker...
Taking advantage of night and maybe love made her do so!

drinking
Unla, Suspect 1 probably wouldn't have a leg to stand on...

Z, Motive is the key, you have hit the nail on the head with Suspect 3 though, fits so far.

Conrad, Its always the gardener, which out of the list of suspects do you think is the culprit?
