Halloween and Duct Tape

World War 2, the U.S. Military needed a water proof tape, they enlisted Johnson & Johnson. Duct Tape was used as sealing tape on ammunition cases, repair military equipment quickly, including jeeps, firearms and aircraft.

Duct Tape is cloth pressure sensitive tape often sealed with polyethylene. It has a standard width of 1 7/8 inches and generally silver or black but is also available in other colours. Duct Tape is strong, flexible, very sticky, long-lasting adhesive and resistance to weathering.

Witch Hazel was noticed arriving at the Halloween Party with two people. One person dresses like a Pirate with Hat, Hook and Pistol. The other person was dressed like a Hippie with Mask, Sandals, Glasses, Wig and carried a Flashlight.

The witness kept stating one of the costumes was missing something. At the party Witch Hazel won the Trophy for Best Costume....one person was deadly jealous.

After the party someone found Witch Hazel on the front lawn...MURDERED.

Can you solve this crime? ...................................

Answer: Witch Hazel was found murdered on the front lawn after the Halloween party. The weapon was the knife that the killer had stuck into the jack-o-lantern to hide the evidence. The only motive for the murder had to be jealousy because the Pirate thought she had a better costume and deserved the Trophy more. The witness thought the Pirate costume was missing something. The knife that completed the costume had been hidden in her boot.

It was understood that Witch Hazel and the Pirate had always had problems with competition but this time it had proven DEADLY!!!!!!
