Here's a cute hypothesis I worked out, although I think some of the newer answers invalidate it. A ship was sinking and a man discovered the number of lifeboats would be insufficient to save all the passengers. Knowing women and children would be given priority, he took advantage of the chaos to kill a woman in one of the cabins and steal her dress. Since he had a slight build, he pulled off the impersonation and was saved. | ||

Was the second crime committed somewhere only a woman would normally have access to? Did the killer need a female disguise specifically or did he just want to appear as the opposite sex? Was the second crime in a place where possible witnesses or video surveillance could identify women's clothing but not be close enough to identify if the wearer is actually female? | ||

Does the woman have any bruises? scars? Are there people other than the woman and the murderer nearby? | ||

Playing the game by the book you are missing two specific points. | ||

The other part I can't figure out is how does someone murder without an opened wound, suffocation, or poison...Can someone be beat to death without bleeding? Was she killed with something you would normally find on a ship? Was she trampled to death? | ||

Semantics of very soon. I neglected to add a note there. Very soon in this case was interpreted to be within 15 minutes. The other part I can't figure out is how does someone murder without an opened wound, suffocation, or poison...Can someone be beat to death without bleeding? Blunt force trauma, internal bleeding, or nerve damage. Was she killed with something you would normally find on a ship? Interpret: normally - something necessary or relevant in operating a ship No. Normally is a word that I would recommend not be used when asking a question. | ||

Can you take over? Or you could just declare it solved. I'm pretty much going to be out for the rest of the night. | ||

Did someone else die as a consequence of the second crime?(Could be by drowning because she didn't get on a lifeboat) Was the target of the second crime male or female? | ||

My interpretation is slightly different. I disagree that there is a second crime (other than stealing her clothes and impersonating someone?). The method of murdering is also not relevant. Actually I'm going to declare it solved by Tissue, because I believe the rest is nitpicking. The little details you missed were that the ship was the Titanic (I was going to direct your attention to the "did it happen at night?" question) and that he also stole a wig. The murder took place on the Titanic. The dead woman is in her cabin, inside the ship at the bottom of the ocean. When the ship began sinking, it was announced that the woman and children would be first to board the lifeboats. This didn't sit well with a cowering creep named Kurt. Determined to stay alive, Kurt decided to disguise himself as a woman. Feverishly searching the slanted deck for a lady his own size, Kurt spotted a large chorus girl wearing a blonde wig. He cornered the woman in her cabin and insisted that she disrobe and de-wig. When she resisted, he persisted and crowned her with a "bon voyage" champagne bottle. He then dressed in drag and headed for the lifeboats. The murdered woman went down with the ship. The murderer escaped, but was later consumed with guilt and flipped his wig. | ||

Turning it over to 4iner, who will be our first guinea pig in the making up your own trial. Some advice: have the whole story developed (writing it out will help) before you begin answering questions, this way you won't accidentally contradict yourself. If you realize a flaw while we are in the middle and you have a good correction in mind, make sure you go back and post corrections to previous answers and let us know you have done that. If you want a second opinion on the logical-ness/consistency/interesting-ness before you start, you can optionally PM me your story and I'll look it over. | ||

Matt walks out of a building, stretches a bit, then runs east for 10 minutes. He slows down to a walk, spots the door he came out of, then walks back inside. How is this possible? | ||

Edit: Actually, he can live anywhere within a circle with the center point at the North OR South Pole that has an equivalent circumference of a ten minute run or any multiplier thereof (10/2, 10/3 etc etc.) | ||
