For years, L. VEIL had secretly built a reputation as an award-winning jewelry desigThere was just one problem. The designs weren't hers. They belonged to a deceased master jeweler whose forgotten sketchbooks had been hidden away for years. While helping settle an estate, Ryan accidentally discovered those original sketchbooks. His search led him to the DESIGNER ROOM ... the place where ideas were born, sketches were kept, and every line had a purpose.

There, Ryan found the original design that matched one of L. Veil's celebrated creations. The torn sketch recovered during the investigation wasn't just another clue. It was the original drawing.

Ryan never came to accuse L. Veil and he never intended to expose her. He simply wanted an explanation.

But when L. Veil realized Ryan had uncovered the truth, fear got the better of her.

In the Designer Room, she grabbed the SHARP ENGRAVER from the jeweler's workbench and struck before Ryan ever had the chance to explain why he had come.

The murder wasn't committed to protect a piece of jewelry. It was committed to protect a stolen legacy.

Congratulations, again, to our winners and thank you to all who participated in support of the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society!

Until the next case... 🔍
