A Halloween "Whodunit"

Halloweens at NeigerDesign have been dark and spooky before, but never quite so...suspicious. A most terrible crime has occurred—the murder of one Mr. Boddy, and before his final belly rubs could be enjoyed, no less—and everyone is a suspect in the ensuing mayhem.  

Mr. Boddy, a scruffy life snuffed out* too soon

Who is to blame for the mysterious murder at the mansion design studio? Scrutinize the snapshots of the suspects and their weapons of choice below and tell us who you think could have done it!

Thankfully, there was at least one mystery solved, with the help of our astute audience (that's you!): the winner of the annual pumpkin contest. Find out who won at the end. 

Mr. Green with the dagger

Mrs. Peacock with the rope

Professor Plum with the wrench

Mrs. White with the candlestick

Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe

Miss Scarlet with the set square

Do you know who the murderer could be? It's a tricky situation to be sure, as no one looks particularly innocent! At least we could get to the bottom of our pumpkin puzzle, with many thanks to everyone who voted.
