Hints
Free Hint
Do you know who the coin purse belongs to? If not, have a careful look at the "About" page on the Still Rock Psychiatry website.
Hint #1
What do the doctors (at Still Rock) like doing in their spare time?
Can you connect any of their hobbies to the ads on the back of the Seattle Times magazine?
Hint #2
On the "About Us" page on the Still Rock website, Jessica says she loves visiting art galleries and is a big Van Gogh fan. She mentions her coworkers got her a Van Gogh coin purse for her birthday. There is an ad for a Van Gogh art exhibit on the back of the "Seattle Times" article. One of the Van Gogh paintings matches the print on the coin purse. The coin purse is Jessica's.
There is a Bella Vista receipt inside the coin purse, which we can assume is Jessica's. This receipt is important.
Read the toxicology report. What drugs or toxins were found in the killer's blood*?
*The toxicology report tested blood from two sources: Summer and Sample B. We can assume that Sample B is from Summer's killer.
Hint #3
Read the "Understanding Antidepressants" pamphlet carefully.
What connections can you make between the antidepressants pamphlet and the toxicology report?
Hint #4
The Bella Vista receipt (which we know is Jessica's) shows Jessica ordered 2 rustic tuscan platters. We can assume she ate at least one of them. What's in a rustic tuscan platter? If you're not sure, look at the Bella Vista menu.
Hint #5
Are there any dietary restrictions imposed on people taking certain types of antidepressants? (Refer back to the "Understanding Antidepressants" pamphlet).
Hint #6
It's dangerous for people taking MAOIs (a type of antidepressant) to eat aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented foods. Did Jessica eat any of these things at Bella Vista?
If you're not sure why MAOIs are being mentioned, have another look at the toxicology report.
Hint #7/Answer
The Bella Vista receipt is Jessica's. We know this because the receipt was found in a coin purse with a Van Gogh print on it, and Jessica mentions on Still Rock's website that she has a Van Gogh coin purse. The Bella Vista receipt shows Jessica ordered two rustic tuscan platters, which the Bella Vista menu describes as "a delectable selection of aged cheeses."
The toxicology report says Summer's killer was taking an MAOI antidepressant, and the "Understanding Antidepressants" pamphlet says patients taking MAOIs should not eat aged cheese. Jessica was eating aged cheese at Bella Vista, so we can assume she was not taking an MAOI. As a psychiatrist, Jessica would know better. Summer's killer was taking an MAOI, so Jessica is not the killer.
We can eliminate Jessica as a suspect based on: the toxicology report, the Bella Vista receipt, the Bella Vista menu, and the antidepressants pamphlet.
