  • Dig Deeper

    These three items are linked to the killer’s motive and the deeper story behind Odessa’s murder.

    Carefully consider how each one fits into the case.

    Item 1: Necklace

    Item 2: Business Card

    Item 3: Preston's Will

    If you're not sure why an item matters, click through its hints — they'll guide you in the right direction. If you're unsure about all of the items, go through them in this order: Necklace, Business Card, Preston's Will.

  • Necklace Hints

    Hint 1 — Necklace

    The necklace was found in the black scrunchie — who does this scrunchie belong to?

    If you're not sure, examine the other item found in the scrunchie: a "Fredericksburg" keychain. Who does the keychain belong to?

    Hint 2 — Necklace

    If you're not sure who the Fredericksburg keychain belongs to, read the Employee Disciplinary Report and the En Pointe brochure.

    Hint 3 — Necklace

    The Fredericksburg keychain belongs to Priya Reed (who's from Fredericksburg — see the En Pointe Brochure). Ella stole it from Priya and didn't return it (see the Employee Disciplinary Report).

    Revisit Odessa's practice notes.

    Hint 4 — Necklace

    Odessa's practice notes reveal that she believes her necklace was stolen. Ella stole Priya's keychain, and Ella has an issue with stealing, generally (see the "Shoplifter Wall of Shame" photo). Also, Ella doesn't like Odessa (see the notes she exchanged with Leonie). We can infer that Ella stole Odessa's necklace — like she stole Priya's keychain — and has been keeping it in her scrunchie.

    The necklace is Odessa's.

    Examine the Nuvo business card carefully. If you're not sure why it's relevant, read through its hints next.

  • Business Card Hints

    Hint 1 — Business Card

    Do you know who the necklace belongs to? If not, go through the necklace hints first, then return here.

    Hint 2 — Business Card

    Explore the website on the Nuvo business card.

    Hint 3 — Business Card

    Go to the "About Us" page on the website. Does anything look familiar?

    Hint 4 — Business Card

    The "About Us" page shows a picture of Clarisse Voss wearing the same necklace Odessa has.

    Hint 5 — Business Card

    Clarisse Voss passed away in childbirth on November 2nd, 1996. Does this date sound familiar?

    Hint 6 — Business Card

    Read the Autopsy Report. Also, notice that Clarisse Voss worked at Nuvo — a restaurant in Seattle. She likely passed away there.

    Hint 7 — Business Card

    Read the En Pointe Brochure carefully and Jonas' blog post (on the website: www.odessaisperfect.com) titled "You Deserve to Know the Truth".

    Hint 8 — Business Card

    Odessa was born on November 2nd, 1996, in Seattle (see the Autopsy Report and En Pointe Brochure).

    Jonas' blog post reveals an infant born on November 2nd, 1996 in Seattle was put up for adoption in Toronto.

    If you're not sure why Preston Voss' will is significant, explore the hints for that next.

  • Will Hints

    These three items are linked to the killer’s motive and the deeper story behind Odessa’s murder.

    Carefully consider how each one fits into the case.

    Item 1: Preston Voss' Will

    Item 2: The Necklace

    Item 3: The Nuvo Business Card

    If you're not sure why a piece of evidence matters, click through its hints — they'll guide you in the right direction without giving away the answer.

    Hint 1 — Preston's Will

    If you're not sure why the necklace and the Nuvo business card are significant, explore those items first, then come back here.

    Hint 2 — Preston's Will

    The Nuvo website says Clarisse Voss died in childbirth on November 2nd, 1996 and left behind a newborn infant and husband. Clarisse likely passed away in Seattle, where Nuvo is located.

    Read the Autopsy Report and the En Pointe Brochure.

    Hint 3 — Preston's Will

    Odessa was born on November 2nd, 1996, in Seattle. Clarisse Voss passed away in childbirth on the same day and in the same city, leaving behind one child (her newborn infant) and her husband.

    Read Jonas' blog post (on the website www.odessaisperfect.com) titled "You Deserve to Know the Truth".

    Hint 4 — Preston's Will

    Jonas' blog post has a picture of a closed adoption record that matches Odessa (same birthday, born in the same place, and adopted by a family in the same city where Odessa lives now — Toronto). The title and content of Jonas' blog posts and his letter to Odessa show Jonas believes this adoption record reflects a big secret that's been kept from Odessa.

    Odessa has Clarisse Voss' necklace.

    Hint 5 — Preston's Will

    Maya is Preston Voss' daughter, and Maya has a half-sibling (see the "HerediTrace" results). Who could Maya's half-sibling be?

    Hint 6 — Preston's Will

    Odessa is Clarisse's daughter. Clarisse died giving birth to her only child. Clarisse's child was born on the same day and city as Odessa, and Odessa has Clarisse's necklace.

    Preston's will mentions his late wife "Clarisse Voss" and mentions their "surviving biological child". Since Clarisse only had one child, this child must be Odessa. This makes Preston Odessa's biological father and Maya Odessa's half-sister (which Maya knew).

    Read Preston's will carefully — what did he leave for Odessa (the "surviving biological child") and what did he leave for Maya?
