MAN MURDERED – CAN YOU SOLVE THIS MYSTERY?

Dana Hamilton was shot to death in Washington, D.C. last month and police had no suspects for six days until someone dropped a dime on 34-year-old Quincy Green. Yet the 34-year-old Green had been wearing a GPS tracking device after he had been arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, and the GPS record showed he was nowhere near the murder. How did he do it? Think, Encyclopedia Brown, think!
The solution: Quincy Green had a prosthetic leg. The person who put the monitor on him mistakenly (*or not!) placed it on his fake leg. Green was able to leave the leg home, go commit the murder, and then return. After receiving the tip on Green, police checked camera footage from the surrounding area and, sure enough, the gunman was spotted, with an obvious limp. In a search of Green’s apartment, authorities found the prosthetic leg with the GPS tracking device. The record showed that it had barely moved in a 72 hour period.
* Worst episode of “Castle” ever.
* I was thinking “time machine,” but … whatever.
* “Time machine” or “The butler in the library with a candlestick.”
* He thought he could get away with it, but the police had a leg up.
* His plan was limp and so did he.
* I just checked the D.C. police website and this leaves them with only six more unsolved homicides in May … so they’re making headway!
* Great! Now … a body is lying dead in a room with 53 bicycles. How did the man die?
* How about the one where they stab the victim with an icicle and then it melts?
* One thing you can see right away is why “The Fugitive” movie went with a prosthetic arm instead.
* At least move the leg with the GPS around a little. Try to make it convincing.
* This is exactly the kind of inattention to detail that’s ruining this country.
