The Evidence Against Parnell.
1. He is about to be a contestant on a TV show.
--
2. A minor TV personality you might say.
--
3. Where would you find gossip on a minor celebrity?
--
4. Have you read any magazines lately?
--
5. There's a magazine on the desk in the power station office.
--
6. Make sure to tap the part about him and learn that there was bad blood between him and the dead man.
--
7. Now, is there any evidence that he's been close to cabin 105?
--
8. He sure loves his motorcycle.
--
9. There are partial motorcycle tracks on the ground next to the boulders overlooking the casino.
--
10. But when was he there?
--
11. If only someone had seen him.
--
12. There must have been witnesses.
--
13. You already know someone who's staying close enough to where you found the motorcycle tracks. No, not Emilia. Don't involve her in this. And no, not Sam. He'll just kick people. There's someone else.
--
14. Too bad this someone isn't very talkative.
--
15. On the other hand, you can always bluff. You are at a casino, after all.

16. The magazine article shows motive. The motorcycle tracks place him near the scene. Lie about the children's minder having seen him there around the time of the murder. It's for the greater good.
