Clean up on Aisle MURDER

On September Friday 13th, there was a murder at a local DESCO


grocery shop. Detective Jonathan Grey was called onto the scene and
compiled some evidence. The victim’s name was Leslie Heisenberg, 35,
the newly promoted manager of DESCO. He was found in the garbage
pile outside of the store. The body was discovered by the store’s owner
Stanley Fucci, who is no longer available to interview because he is busy
solving legal issues and we only have a testimony from him.
There are five suspects that the detective needs to interview to
find the culprit. On the list is Jou Landry, the baker in the store, Lisa
Sympsun who is the store’s butcher and Arnold Duncen the warehouse
worker. The next-door neighbors are also to look at, Milan Shady who
was seen near the DESCO on the night of the murder and Matilda
Knowital is the old lady living next door to the victim.
Leslie Heisenberg was not liked by many, had a bad past of
shoplifting when he was younger, not in good standing with his
neighbors. Constant complaints about his work ethic from his co-
workers.
