The State vs Nora Sommer
She is in a hurry to get to court but is very happy to see our friends. “I hate to do this but I am in desperate need of help or my client will hang. She is being framed for murder and I have no idea why. And now my investigator has gone missing. There isn’t much more I can do, if we don’t find some evidence then she’ll be found guilty tomorrow morning when her trial resumes.” She takes a file from her case and hands it to them, “please see what you can find out and bring it back to my home tonight,” she gives an address in the Udell Ziek, “hopefully with some good news!” And with that she is off again.
Summary of the file:
- Victim: Garlen Ormit, owner of Ormit Properties (Tulpe Street, Warei Ziek), murdered in his home (Huss Way, Old Town Ziek), cause of death: blunt force trauma.
- Accused: Nora Sommer, owner of hat shop On Your Head Be It (Bern Square, Park Ziek), old friend of victim, was seen leaving victim’s house by Lenet Pylund, neighbor across the street, on Wednesday.
- Valet and others say she was yelling outside victim’s house on Tuesday about ‘extortionate rent’. Maintains innocence, says she met with victim on Monday to pay monthly rent, did not go on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am very much inclined to believe. Being set up? Why?
- Lead detective Lieutenant Trull not willing to investigate further.
- Hired Flint Strenkann. First report encouraging, good, judge is ready to throw book. Second report is frustratingly brief again, we talked about this!
- Set up a meeting for tonight to get details. Flint didn’t show for the meeting, very unlike him!
- Tuesday morning, still no word from Flint, Lili hasn’t heard from him either!
Investigator reports:
- Wounds show this was no human, also weird shoe print. Looking into other suspects.
- Found witness who saw Sommer on Monday, BOCC. Also learned of other meeting on Sunday. Good lead!
