Clue 1
Pepe has a solid alibi. He had a football game when the crime occurred. He can be eliminated as a suspect.
Clue 6
Banks are not open on Sundays
Clue 7
The thief was successful in stealing money. The thief did not leave empty-handed.
Clue 9
The thief could not have committed a crime like this without the use of both hands. With a hook in place of a hand, a pirate costume would have made it impossible to commit the crime.
Clue 12
The news report stated that the fugitive is in a Spanish-speaking country. That means the non-Spanish-speaking country can be eliminated.
Clue 2
Delfina was busy doing her Nearpods for Spanish class. The submission dates are proof. She is no longer a suspect.
Clue 8
Though the thief did steal money, the cashier reported that the amount stolen was less than one hundred dollars.
Clue 10
There was no fur left behind at the crime scene, therefore the criminal was not in a cat costume.
Clue 13
The fugitive could not be located anywhere in Africa, so we can rule out one country.
Clue 3
Daniela could not have done it. She had a volleyball game when the crime happened.
Clue 11
The criminal's costume did not include a broomstick.
Clue 14
The country the criminal escaped to does not border the United States. That eliminates one country.
Clue 4
Rafael turned from his life of crime years ago. He refuses to go to prison (again). He would not have done this!
Clue 15
The thief could not be located anywhere in Europe. That eliminates one country from the list.
Clue 5
Ximena was out of the country visiting family. Her passport records prove her alibi.
Clue 16
Due to past criminal offenses, the thief was previously banned from ever entering Venezuela, therefore the criminal would not have been able to go there.
