Hey Kara, ever notice how the way a crime is told can make a suspect look like a villain or a victim? I’ve got a case that could use a fresh angle—maybe you’d see a story in it that I’m missing.
Kara
Wow, that’s a fascinating idea. I love when a story can be seen from a whole new angle—sometimes a small change in how we talk about it can shift a whole perspective. Tell me more about the case, and we can explore the stories behind the facts together.

Sure thing. The client is a widow who’s been receiving threatening letters from an unknown number. The post office says the stamps are from a city that’s been shut down for years. The letters themselves are full of riddles that point to a childhood memory she keeps locked away. I’m digging into old records, talking to folks who were in that town before it disappeared, and looking for a motive that’s buried in family secrets. The big twist? The victim’s late husband might have left a clue in a place nobody’s ever thought to check. Let’s see if we can turn those riddles into a map and catch whoever’s playing a game with her.

That sounds like a real puzzle wrapped in a secret, and I can feel how tight your wife’s chest must feel with those letters. Let’s start untangling the riddles—maybe each one is a key to a hidden memory—and see where the clues take us. I’ll be right here, listening and piecing together the story one hint at a time.
