How do the detectives approach the Crime Scene? The detectives approach the crime scene by looking around and trying to find any possible clues that may help them to solve the crime or figure out what actually happened. They look for what the weapons were and where he may have entered and even where he might have coem in from. They question everyone and get all the neccesary questions down and try to figure out the possibilities for which he might have come from and why and the motive and real reasoning behind it all.

What techniques for solving the crime were available? (Ex. DNA, fingerprint, etc.) The techniques for solving the crime were much more basic than what we have today due to the lack of technology back then. They used the new doormat and the fibers from it to match it to the dead mans shoe to prove that he didn't come in through the garden door but through the normal door. There was no fingerprinting or DNA tests involved and one other way that they knew it was her stocking that was supposedly the attempted murder item was the silk string used to patch the bottom of the stocking and it was the same string as she had in her basket by the fire.

How is the crime solved? The crime is solved by small little details that come out eventually over time and the big one was when he got the key out from under the stair case and opened the door and the detective and Mark and his wife were stading there just waiting for his mistake. Also the money that he had withdrawn over the last year every week totalling the 1000 pounds and that he had not taken any money out in the last few weeks after the crime and that he had a briefcase full of money and it was the money that he was living off of because he didn't need it to pay the man who attempted to kill his wife. It was a series of small details and poeple being suspicious over the course of the investigation.
