Findings:

Weapon used for first victim: Hammer
New finding – marks that resemble ‘gills’ are scars

Anselm McManus

Findings -
( ) Azure and Chibi are the only suspects with scars.
( ) Anselm was drunk out of his mind at the club, so he might not have seen Azure depart from the club or not.
( ) Azure, Chibi, and Li were the only ones who knew of the affair. Anselm may have known, but he never said anything
( ) Li's scar is not so fresh as Azure's or Chibi's.

irishrose86

EDIT: Yes! Li Sabbath has a huge scar! Doesn't hers count?

Cluck Norris

and if you havnt noticed, many of the guys are wearing beards. or moustaches, this is were we could possibly hide some scars?

Anselm McManus

Finding - It is very possible that the two were killed out of order
Deazy may not have been the first victim at all.

irishrose86

Anselm McManus

any new clues?

...wait a second!!!! Maybe I'm thinking too hard, but TheNefariousImp mentioned skin under the fingernails of the victim.....but her never specified which victim!

He said, "There was one interesting clue we did find at the scene – well on the victim’s fingernails – it was skin. The victim must have attacked their attacker and left a hideous scar. I’ve sent for the information on the bodies from Dr. Cluck Norris in the morgue for further analysis."

I had been assuming that he was talking about Deazy's fingernails...but couldn't it also be Elevator's?

New Clues/Interrogations

Chigusa

Investigation Friday 10:54pm:
Well Imp finally sent me the full report on the hallway and the master bedroom. I’ve looked over it and made some notes. The wall, in the master bedroom, smudges did contain epithelial and Elevator’s blood. In the hallway there was only 2 set of foot prints. 2 pairs of prints were going towards the master bedroom – Elevator and Deazy, and 1 pair away – Deazy. I also have the report from outside the mansion. There were three pairs of footprints. The first two belong to Chibimiguel and Anselm. The final is still undetermined. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll know who.

TheNefariousImp

Investigation 4 Thursday 9:15pm:
I was suppose to have these results in earlier, but for once I wasn’t the one on a break! The Capitaine of the Police force spoke with me directly and asked for me to look over the murder weapon for more prints. I found 2 – Deazy and the other is unidentified at the moment. I’ll have to get back to you on the other identity tomorrow. Also note that the CSI has now a full report over the room of the master bedroom. Within it we include the traces of ‘oily’ smudges (and some trace of blood) on the walls. The report over the hallway will hopefully be finished tomorrow.

La Azure

Interrogation 2 Thursday 10:01 am:
Hm? You called me here so we could discuss Li Sabbath? My I’m surprised, I could have sworn you’d start hassling me about my precious Anselm again. Well we were both laid off from work on the same day. I’m not too sure on the reason, but the rumor that was going around was that she was stealing money from the company. You see she was in charge of the finances of the company and has easy access to the money…

Kawaii Kokezaru

Investigation 4 Wednesday 6:03pm:
I was able to meet with the mystery person today, they’ve asked for their identity to stay hidden for now so I’ll respect that for this mock report. According to my ‘source,’ Chibimiguel was planning to rendezvous with someone on a vacation soon. However who this someone may be is a mystery. After that meeting, I looked up Chibimiguel’s bank account and found that two airline tickets were purchased recently.

Cluck Norris

Investigation Wednesday 2:32:
“All righty, the DNA has come in for the unknown skin found on Deazy. However we found that there were two samples of DNA. It matched La Azure’s DNA that we got with a warrant, and some of it we found it to match Elevator’s. Chigusa asked me to look on Elevator’s neck to find any traces of bruises, however none were evident. I’ve sent this information to Imp; I just hope he gets it before his lunch break...”

Kawaii Kokezaru

Investigate 3 Tuesday 11:06 pm:
Well today I got an interesting phone call from an employee from Deazy’s corporation. They asked me to speak with them tomorrow. They state that they have information that may prove useful for this investigation and have asked for a private meeting. Hm, I’m not too sure but the person seemed to be acting strange. They kept their tone very low and quickly said something at the end.

Chigusa

Investigation Tuesday 10:55pm:
“Capitaine, I believe I have found more information that may be relevant to the crime. Thanks to the neighbors in the area I was able to learn that La Azure and Deazy did indeed do more than just quarrel on the front lawn. The neighbors stated that they heard loud angered shouts between the two. Apparently, La Azure was beaten by Deazy physically and left as soon as she heard sirens – however, the sirens were from a firetruck that was called to help save a kitten from a tree. Imp was also able to identify the fingerprints on the rim of the tub where Elevator was found – it matches Elevator’s fingerprints…”

TheNefariousImp

Investigation 3 Tuesday 12:41
Chigusa called me down to the Crime scene this morning. She wanted me to look over the bathroom where she found Elevaor. Apparently there were fingerprints found on the rim of the tub. I’ve sent them to the lab, so hopefully we’ll have the results later on today.

Anselm McManus

Interrogation #2 Tuesday ~10:15
“What do you mean you found my hammer to be the murder weapon?! This is outrageous! I had no way of being in my house during those hours, so It can’t possibly be me. You ask me if I drank anything last night? Well obviously I did, I was at a bar… What does that have to do with anything? I gave you my prints voluntarily, does that not rule me out?”

Li Sabbath

Interrogation #2:
I don’t see why I was called here again; I told you everything I know. Oh I see, you want to know more about Azure. Well I know for a fact the girl had anger issues with Deazy. The two fought constantly about work. I’m not too sure why, but she seemed even angrier after seeing Deazy with Elevator. Thus, it was no real surprise as to why Deazy let the girl go when she sold the company. Azure would probably treat the new employer just as harshly.

Kawaii Kokezaru

Since Imp is on his lunch break he asked me to interrogate some of the workers at Deazy’s company. I spoke with a few upper ranks in the corporation, though they all seemed clueless. However, I did manage to find travel brochures on ChibiMiguel’s desk.

TheNefariousImp

I spoke with the coroner again today, he said he had identified that the bruises on Elevator’s knuckles were a result of hitting something very hard which caused broken bones. I’ll have to look into this some more after my lunch break…

Chibimiguel

Interrogation #2:
Why hadn’t I told you about the affair? Well now, It didn’t seem important at the time. But it’s unfortunate to hear that Elevator was also killed. The poor girl, she was so young and had a bright future. As I recall, she was going to quit come the end of summer.

Your 'Crack Pot' Theories:

I am Rob

Crack Pot Theory

Okay, Deazy having sex with Elevator. (that is how she got the fingerprints on her back.) And, when Elevator said that Deazy wasn't as good as she remembered, Deazy got pissed off! She wanted that little b***h to die, because NO ONE insults Deazy and gets away with it. But, Deazy knew that she couldn't just kill Elevator, because then she would be the prime suspect and everyone would come after her.

So, she thought up this devious plan... Deazy would make it look like SHE was killed first. That way, the police would never focus on her as a suspect, seeing as she would be the first "victim." The police are stupid anyway, so it wouldn't be too difficult to confuse them. So, she murdered Elevator for daring to insult her, and then went on to the rest of the plot:

Deazy gave herself a superficial wound to create the droplets of blood, whacked herself on the head with the hammer, planted the weapon in her husband's car (because she didn't like the fact that he treated her as a possession instead of a human being), went to the kitchen, took a pill to simulate her death, and then "posed" at the bottom of the stairs. By the time she got to the morgue, she was already fully awake and ready for the next phase of her plot. All she needed was the opportunity to get away unobserved. She knew that the people at the morgue would be so busy blaming each other for the "disappearance" of the body that they wouldn't bother to actually look for it.

However, when no opportunity presented itself, Deazy was forced to wait until she was alone with the doctor. A few sexual favours later, she and the doctor had come up with the information that would be fed to the inspectors. Now, the only people who knew the truth were the doctor and Deazy...

The doctor asked Deazy about one other thing: The skin beneath her nails. Deazy told the doctor that the skin came form Azure. Everyone knew that Azure and Deazy didn't like each other, so Azure would make the perfect person to frame for BOTH murders. Deazy was thrilled to have such a knowledgeable and capable accomplice.

[Krist]

My Theory.
xD

How could Deazy have scratched the killer so hard that skin would have been found under her nails when Deazy was wearing gloves…?

Hmmm…

Maybe that skin wasn’t from the killer but possibly, from the second victim.

Maybe Deazy drowned Elevator (maybe due to Elevator cheating on her with Chibi) thus getting Elevator's skin under her nails, put gloves over top so she could clean the crime scene and left the bathroom to get a trashbag to put her body in.

Chibi, however, had returned from lunch early and heard the commotion.
She ran upstairs and watched in horror as Deazy drowned Elevator.
So, when Deazy left the bathroom, Chibi grabbed the husband’s hammer and hit her on the head and pushed her down the stairs.

She phone called the police shortly after cleaning the scene of any evidence.

So both Deazy and Chibi are the murderers.

Deazy killed Elevator

Chibi killed Deazy.

Maybe …
>.>

[Krist]

Bebbo; stare Hmmm...very suspicious.

New Theory*

The bruises on Elevator's knuckles.
Might be from punching the sides of the tub to get free
or
Might be from punching the killer to get free.

I would say we look for any bruises on faces.
Possibly...under some clothes and/or facial hair.

xD

Anselm McManus

wait a minute. If elevator fought back like that, she must've been held down by someone strong. Likely a male.

Here's my crackpot theory -

Anselm had no part in killing Deazy - he just wanted Elevator to die so he wouldn't have his wife causing trouble outside of the marriage. So he drowned her.

However, Azure wanted the wife out of the picture and killed her. That would explain the slender fingertips.

Chibi was attacked by Deazy (because she found out about the affair first, and wanted to tell Deazy's husband.

Anselm McManus

Bebbo - my "final" theory for now

TIPS
If elevator fought back like that, she must've been held down by someone strong. Likely a male.

Also - to Imp ... Check the skin samples found under Deazy's nails. Get samples from Azure, Li, and Chibi. Be sure to compare the ages of the scrapings found if there are in fact two sets of DNA found.

THE THEORY
Chibi was attacked by Deazy because she found out about the affair first, and wanted to tell Deazy's husband.

Anselm had no part in killing Deazy - he just wanted Elevator to die so he wouldn't have his wife causing trouble outside of the marriage. So he drowned her.

However, Azure wanted the wife out of the picture and killed her. That would explain the slender fingertips.

[Krist]

My new and improved theory.

Deazy drowned Elevator.
and
the husband
killed Deazy and pinned it on Chibi.

How come they found out that the finger prints weren't the husband's
but they can't figure out whose they really are?

>.>
<.<

La Azure

YOU'LL NEVER GET MY DNA!

>.>
<.<

Elevator and Deazy had a little somethin'-somethin' going on.
Elevator did the nasty with McManus.
Deazy found out. Deazy kills Elevator.
McManus finds out and kills Deazy. Because he secretly was in love with Elevator. Secretly.

irishrose86

My theory: (revised)

Deazy was a selfish woman with a plan to take control of her life and do exactly what she wanted without anyone dragging her down. She had married for money, became the head of a company, and found that listening to employee’s complaints and living with a possessive husband just wasn’t worth it anymore.

She began her master plan by faking a secret affair with Elevator. Elevator was unaware that the relationship was a sham, but was happy to be with someone that gave her so much emotional and financial security. With that underway, her attention soon turned to ChibiMiguel.

ChibiMiguel was an employee in the company who had connections with a travel agency. Deazy had a great idea. She would sell the company and fly out of the country when no one was looking, to enjoy her life on some tropical island. Deazy promised to pay ChibiMiguel generously if she would help her get out of the country. It wouldn’t be hard to pay her at all, if she could sell the company without causing too much of a ruckus.

Selling the company wasn’t going to be easy, however. Many employees would be outraged by her sudden/illogical decision. Deazy needed a very good diversion….a murder in her own house would do just fine.

One night, Deazy arranged for Elevator to come over. ChibiMiguel was hiding in the house. After she had walked through the door, Deazy coaxed her upstairs. Then she tried to attack Elevator. Elevator defended herself rather well and beat Deazy mercilessly. She punched Deazy so hard that bruises formed on her knuckles. However, ChibiMiguel was a stronger woman than the both of them. She came from behind, caught Elevator by surprise, and dragged her to the bathtub where she held her down and drowned her.

Deazy continued to set up the murder scene, although a little disoriented. She hit herself with the hammer, right on her skull. Then she placed the hammer in her husband’s car.

She had accomplished the diversion. It would seem as though Anselm came home and “caught” Deazy and Elevator in their affair, and in a jealous rage, killed Elevator and assaulted Deazy. Deazy would not tell the police but use the terrifying “assult” as an excuse to suddenly sell her company and leave the country. ChibiMiguel left the scene to make preparations, while Deazy stayed behind a moment to make sure everything was in place for her scheme to work.

There was one thing she hadn’t counted on though: La Azure.

La Azure loved Elevator and had been in a relationship with her before Deazy stole her away. She hated the sight of the couple being together, because she always felt that Deazy never really loved her.

La Azure came to the house that night to confront Deazy about the relationship and to confess her undying love for Elevator. She knew Elevator would be there because she had overheard Deazy invite Elevator to the house for dinner.

She approached the house in a rage. Deazy didn’t answer the door, so La Azure barged in. She noticed the dent in Deazy’s head, bruises, and some blood on her clothes. Deazy had gotten some of ChibiMiguels’s blood on her when she helped her hold Elevator under the bath water. La Azure assumed the worst and ran around frantically to find Elevator. Deazy ran right behind her, intending to catch and kill her for being a witness. She found Elevator, her love, drowned in the upstairs bathroom. With Deazy following right behind her, La Azure was now in danger of being murdered as well. On the top of the stairs, La Azure tried to push Deazy. Deazy fought back by scratching her face. Finally, La Azure managed to throw Deazy down the stairs. The fall killed her.

Realizing that she would become suspect for two murders, La Azure fled the scene out of fear. ChibiMiguel later came back to the house because Deazy had taken so long leaving it. She feared something had happened…and it had. Deazy was dead. ChibiMiguel called the police and reported both murders to look innocent…after all, she herself had murdered Elevator. She pretended to not be involved in anyone’s death at all, swearing she came to the house right after the murders had taken place.

In conclusion: Deazy’s plan went sour. Although most of it was carried out well, it was the jealousy of Elevator’s former lover that foiled her ultimate plan.

Anselm McManus

New crackpot theory

Quote:

Irish may be right in implicating Deazy herself for Elevator's murder, but what of the bruises to her face and arm? What if Chibi was innocent in all this?

Chibi arranged for the travel accomadations, but has not given a good reason why. (Let's assume Deazy said that she had gathered enough vacation days to take a small trip out of the country, and Chibi thought it odd that Deazy asked for a one-way ticket.) Chibi soon figured out what was going on and went to confront Deazy.

Wrong place, wrong time.

She walked in on Deazy and gave her a piece of her mind ... and her fists and talons. And then she saw the body in the bathtub. Chibi gave her an even-more-fierce beating so to stun Deazy and gather enough time to call the police after calming down.

When she got to her car so to get her cell phone, she heard Deazy scream something unintelligible (the house was practically soundproofed), and walked back in to see a woman dash off from the top of the stairs, carrying something with a red handle. And there lay Deazy in a pool of blood.

In short - Elevator found out about the sale of the company and what Deazy was planning to do ... and died trying to expose a secret. Chibi called the police AFTER she saw Deazy's corpse at the foot of the stairwell.

Deazy killed Elevator
Azure killed Deazy.

Deazy

Everyone seems hellbent on me being a killer gonk

Crackpot theory:

Azure got Anselm drunk, she knew that Elevator and Deazy were having a romantic 'dinner'... she wanted to confront Deazy, so left him at the club and preceeded the house. Silently she let herself in and heard noises from upstairs... up she crept and discovered Elevator having a relaxing bath - rage overtook her and she drown poor Ele where she lay. Suddenly in walks Deazy, horrified by what she sees runs towards the stairs to call for help but Azure catches up with her. There is a violent fight, Deazy scratches as La Azure grabs for a hammer that on a table near by....*bang* she hits Deazy on the head then pushes her down the stairs.

Calmly she walks down the stairs and steps over the body.. "That'll teach you, b***h" giving the body a kick as she passes by.

Taking the hammer with her, she throws it in Anselm's car as she goes to finish off her evening with him.

[Krist]

New theory.

Okay.
Obviously, Deazy married her husband for money.
Waited about ten years, then decided not to wait for her husband's death to inherit the money.
Deazy wanted to sell the company, get the money, and get away.
But She knew SHE didn't want to kill her husband.
So, Deazy hired Elevator to have an affair.
She wanted to make sure Elevator was madly in love with her.
Madly in love and that her husband had no idea.
So, one night, she invited her husband over for dinner at 8
and Elevator over exactly one hour later.
At 8 her husband came home, a bit drunk,
They ate, drank wine, and then Deazy invited him upstairs for some nookie in the hot bath she had prepared exactly at 8:50 pm.
She made sure however that the front door remained unlocked.
At 9:00, Elevator came to the door.
She knocked and the door slowly opened, so she let herself in.
She heard noises. Sort of like, a groining.
So she walked up the stairs and leaned her ear against the bathroom door.
She was suprised and furious to hear her beloved and a man getting down and dirty.
She turned around flustered and wandered into the new wing of the house that was still under construction.
She grabbed a hammer and closed her eyes.
She ran into into the dark bathroom and brought the hammer down and hit something.
A scream ran out as water was splashed onto the ground, all over the walls and the such.
"YOU b***h!" Deazy screamed as she grabbed Elevator and held her underwated saying "I never should have slept with you, whore."
Anselm ran for the door and turned on the lights to see Elevator being drowned by Deazy.
He wanted to stop her.
But he couldn't.
He was shocked at the thought of his wife cheating on him with an intern.
AN INTERN!
Soon the water stopped splashing.
And Elevator laid there, motionless.
Anselm looked at his wife who sat there smiling and laughing.
She then approached him.
"I thought she would kill you. Now I have to do it."
She grabbed the hammer and ran for him.
Anselm ducked from her swing and she tripped grabbed his nakid chest scratching it, leaving a scar, but fell down the stairs and hit her head on the hard wood floor.
Killing her instantly.
Anselm looked at his situation.
And ran.

Later, the bodies were found.
And this mystery began.

Fin.

Cleocatra Osiris

I'd think any scratches, bruises, would be evident on Elevator. Therefore I presume she drowned of her own accord.

This means that I think she committed suicide after perhaps viewing something?

La Azure was angry when she saw them (Deazy and Elevator) together?

This could imply she is friends with Deazy's husband and doesn't like that Deazy is cheating, or jealous of them.

She says "Insensitive-cheating-wife!" and seemingly went out with him on the night.

They left at closing time. I'm not quite sure what time that was, but La Azure was early evening on the lawn.

Early evening could be 7-8, which wouldn't be closing time, since they just went into the club. So I'm saying 9pm they were there.

Maybe Anselm stayed there by himself, and La Azure appeared again later around about closing time? 1am or so? In clubs you CAN lose sight of people for a few hours.

Chibi had brochures? She says that elevator couldn't do it?

I think that this is what happened:

Crack pot story #1!

To explain the footprints caused by Anselm, it doesn't say which way he went. He could have snuck out the back of the house to go to the club with La Azure.

Chibi left the resturant at 9pm to go to talk to Deazy.

She wasn't going to talk about it closing down in a bad way though. Chibi wanted to run away with Deazy once the place closed.

So they had wild lesbian sex and then after a while fell asleep.

At about 9:45 I'd think that La Azure came to the house, and began making a noise. She had nicked Anselm's car and come to the house.

She had a hammer with her, which she threw through the open bedroom window.

It hit Deazy in the head, and she screamed, felt pain, and blacked out for a few seconds. This woke up Chibi who also screamed, and stood over her seeing if she was alright before she got an ambulance. Deazy scratched out and got her on the cheeks, since with a concussion you just try to grab what you can, and it's hard. Chibi then ran to the phone (10:20pm ish?) and Deazy staggered about, leaning against the wall and trying to go downstairs.

This meant that Deazy fell down the stairs in her daze.

And at this point I thought of a better theory.

Crack Pot Theory #2

Anselm and La Azure went to a "womens only" club, aka a lesbian club, where I think they would be able to be as friendly as they wished to each other, without arousing suspicion.

Ele and Deazy were, as we know, at home all evening.

I think Ele and Deazy had a knock at the door at about 9:30.

Chibi came to discuss the job, except Ele kept trying to distract Deazy.

Eventually Chibi left because they were too randy(jealous of Deazy?). (10pmish)

They went upstairs, and at the club, La Azure noticed her friend (at least) Anselm dowsing his sorrows in Alcohol, so she said she was gonna go to the car, could she borrow his keys, she left something in the glove compartment.

She then took his keys and went to the house. (10:30pmish)

She then went and took a hammer out of the boot, and snuck in through the back door. She then went upstairs and caught Ele and Deazy. Who had just finished (cigarette).

She attacked Deazy and slapped her on the face while screaming "Cheating b***h" then struck Deazy on the head, who fell unconcious. She saw blood and thought "She's dead! Yay!"

She then went after Ele who ran into the bathroom and pushed her into the bath. She got scratched by Ele, so then she used the hammer and broke Ele's knuckles so she couldn't escape or scratch her face any more. She then started up the water while Ele would have been screaming.

Azure would then ensure Ele had fallen unconcious before washing the hammer in the water as well, and going back to the car.

I think Chibi may have been on the way home and seen Azure heading from the house. (11pmish?)

So then Chibi rushed back to the house and saw Deazy unconcious and Ele dead. She then checked to see if Deazy was breathing and she was, but then Deazy woke up, and she thought Azure was still attacking her. So she lashed out screaming. Chibi then held Deazy down by her arms and said it's not Azure, but Azure didn't believe her. So then Chibi ran out of the room saying "I'm not Azure! It's me, Chibi!" While Deazy staggered along

So Chibi went towards the stairs and Deazy fell down (causes bruises as well ya know)

Then Chibi tried to check if Deazy was still alive, finding she wasn't, she phoned the cops.

Verdict: It's Azure who killed Ele and seriously injured Deazy.

The Blue Blue

The fingerprints on her back could be frome anything. It could be from pushing her down before smashing her on the head with the hammer, could be from rolling her body over to make sure that she was dead, or from someone else coming in to find out if she was alive or dead. That being said, I'd like to ask whether the body was found face up or face down, since this will help to figure out if the fingerprints on her back mean anything.
Any prints on the hammer don't necessarilly mean anything. It did belong to someone, and was therefore used as a hammer (we think) more knowledge about the tool, such as wear and tear on the head of the hammer would help us on getting a better idea of the age of the hammer, since if it has been used for hammering nails there will be small dents from the impact of the hammer against the head of the nail. Fingerprints on the hammer don't necessarily mean anything if the hammer has been used for hammering nails, since he may have lent it out to other people, adding more fingerprints to the hammer, along with the owner's fingerprints, also the fingerprints of the person who sold the hammer to the owner.
Azure was angry, however, from what I remember off the first page, he was drunk, and at a bar. If he was at the bar, the bartender would remember him, and drinking could be what happened as a result of this "affair".

Li Sabbath

Crack theory time!

ChibiMiguel has a serious thing for men and women in uniforms. She kills everyone and frames everyone else so that the cops and the coroner all get together and hit it off, and when the case is solved and various people jailed, she flies them all to Bermuda and videotapes the orgy that must ensue.

That must be it.

Cluck Norris

i think tha Deazy was double crossed, La Azure wanted it all, she had always been jealous of Deazy and wanted everything that she had, even her life, she started with the affair with her husband anselm. then when she saw that Deazy was starting to get worn out and wanted to sell the company she secretly pounced, and set up a secret agreement with Deazy that her husbands pension(first mention in one of anselm theories) afloat and supply Deazy with more than enough money to retire in comfort. now all she needed to do is get Deazy out of the way and she new the perfect way to do it. word around the office traveled quickly and everyone knew about the new affair between elevator and Deazy, what everyone forgot is the love affair between elevator and herself, which contrary to popular beleif was still very much alive. one night after dancing with anselm she made sure to get him thorougly drunk and left him in the car to sleep it off because he had quite the buzz going on. now you see when Azure walked in it, it may have seemed like something shocking and out of the blue. but elevator had already knew that she was coming and was relaxing Deazy with a back massage. when Azure stormed in Deazy quickly threw her clothes back on and demanded why she was here. Azure answered back with a swift punch in the face. Deazy cried for elevators help but instead she broke a bottle of wine and tried to cut Deazy but accidentaly missed (she was a little drunk on wine) and got Azure on the cheeks while accidently stepped on the glass she broke. when Deazy swung around to get out of the way of the bottle she accidentaly was caught up in Azure's arms and thats when Elevator went to town on her. See Elevator used to love Deazy but it all became a shame when she noticed that chibi had given Deazy plane tickets for her and her husband. Deazy had been beaten and now she was laying there starting to cough up blood when Elavator pushed her down the stairs and Azure said
"wait i have just the thing to finish her off."
she went out to anelms car to get the hammer. speaking of hammered anselm was still passed out so she decided this was a good time to have some fun and drew a moustache on his face. she got back in and proceeded to finish her off with a swift hit from the hammer. then she told elevator to get in the tub and shell meet her when she finished getting undressed. elevator layed in the tub while Azure walked on to the bathtub and got on top of elevator and kissed her on the lips.
"oh Elevator..."
"oh Azure..."
"Elevator..."
"Azure..."
"Im so sorry for this.."
then Azure drowned Elevator with a kiss.

Theory

Chibi killed Elevator so to remove any chance of Elevator getting the word out. She used the hammer on the victim's hand and tossed it aside - rather hard, and by accident, in the direction of the back of Deazy's head.

Deazy's death was an accident, elevator's wasn't.

The affairs
Anselm with Azure (Azure got in a fight but was nowhere near involved with Deazy's death)
Deazy with Chibi (the affair with elevator was to distract her husband and his mistress from the truth)

/Theory

Anselm McManus

... ChibiMiguel

I remain undeclared as to who killed Deazy.

My reasoning for Chibi

Anselm McManus

Re: I declare the murderer of elevator to be ...

Chibi may have in fact been Deazy's lover - Elevator was a ruse to throw off Azure and Anselm.

Elevator found the tickets and went to Deazy saying that she would report her to the Securities and Exchange Council for her actions. However, she had not counted on Chibi grabbing her from behind.

El scratched and scratched to try and make Chibi let go (face and hands), but she was soon thrown into a full bathtub - she held her breath as she could ... until Deazy handed over Anselm's hammer to Chibi.

elevator struggled against Chibi's weight, which was centered on the hand pressing down on el's chest. She gripped the tub, fighting to get up and fight back. But as soon as Chibi brought down the hammer on the victim's knuckles, it was all over. El foolishly screamed in pain - and consequentially sucked water into her lungs.

Chibi brought down the hammer on both of el's hands, and kept hammering. But her hand was wet - and wouldn't you know the stairwell (and Deazy) were right outside (Deazy kept a lookout)?

Someone else had to be inside the house - the hammer may have slipped, but the angle of attack wasn't so much so that it could have been an accident.

A note - check the hammer again for prints. My proposal is that there may well be FOUR sets - Anselm's, Deazy's, Chibi's, and the murderer's. If there are only 3 sets of prints, Anselm is in fact the murderer.

My theory!

La Azure told Anselm about the affair. Anselm some how found out that Deazy was going to meet Elevator that night. Anselm called Elevator and told her to come a little earlier. When Elevator came, Anselm called to her from the masters bathroom. Thinking it was Deazy calling for her, she went upstairs. Anselm had already filled the bathtub with water, so he grabbed Elevator and held her down in the water. She fought back until she drowned, bruising her knuckles when she hit him. As he cleaned up evidence, Deazy walked in. When she saw Elevator dead, she attacked Anselm, and he tryed to stop her. They had gone right near the stairs, and he pushed her down them by accident, but before she fell, she scratched him. He hadn't relized that she scratched him. He quickly dressed up as a woman and headed out to a woman's only club. Soon after he left, Chibi came by and saw her dead, and by the time she called the police over, Anselm was so drunk he couldn't stand up for 10 seconds.
