1. How do the detectives approach the crime scene? The detectives approach the crime scene fairly well. They came in and nothing was moved to begin with. they were taking pictures of things such as the dead man but what they failed to do was make sure that Mr. and Mrs. Windice didn't move anything. Mr. Windice made and brought tea to the detectives and in doing so moved a mat for the stocking to be discovered. The detectives weren't too concerned with making sure that nothing was moved or changed since the murder.

2. What techniques for solving the crime are available? The detectives used several techniques including: questioning, photographing, and analyzing evidence. They analyzed several pieces of evidence such as the shoes and the doormat, the stocking with the silk, and the locks on the doors. From this they were able to deduce that the suspect came in through the front door because the locks had been locked but had not been tampered with and the doormat left some fibers on his shoes, because of these two things, he must have had a key.

3. How is the crime solved? The crime is solved because the detective saw that the story did not fit together perfectly and he kept investigating. There was a hole in the story, how the suspect entered the house, and the detective decided to investigate in further. He knew that there had to be a key that was used. He then switched his key with Mr. Widice's key so that he can get into the apartment and Mr. Windice can't. He then had Mrs. Windice come to the apartment and try to get in. When her key doesn't work he realizes that Mr. Windice got a key from the suspect and put it in his wife's purse but it was the key to the suspect's apartment not the Windice's. Then Mr. Windice comes back and when his key doesn't work he gets the key from under the carpet and uses it proving that he planned the murder.
