Q1: What did Luka steal from Summer's house? (2 points)
Summer's blog post "Happy Birthday to Me!" shows a picture of an infinity bracelet that Summer says her coworkers gifted her. The same bracelet was found in an envelope Luka got Jessica to leave in Summer's office. Also, the suspected burglary report mentions someone (Luka) rifled through Summer's jewelry cabinet.
Luka stole Summer's bracelet. (2 points)
Q2: Dante's Letter to Luka (3 points)
The hidden message in Dante's letter to Luka (dated June 27th, 2019) is:
"How did it go last week? Also any success cracking J? If she's too hard, we can try E instead."
Who/what is "E"? (1 point)
What does Dante mean by "it"? (how did "it" go last week) (1 point)
What does Dante mean by "cracking J"? (1 point)
"E" is Ezra. (1 point)
"It" refers to Luka's burglary of Summer's house. (1 point) Dante's letter was written on June 27th, 2019 — exactly a week after Summer's house was broken into (June 20th, 2019).
"Cracking J" means persuading Jessica ("J") to put the blue envelope in Summer's office. Or more generally, getting Jessica to help them (Dante and Luka). (1 point)
Q3: Luka's Letter to Dante (3 points)
The hidden message in Luka's letter to Dante (dated July 10, 2019) is:
"Good. I got what I needed. Yes to your second question. I've found her weak spot. She is a risk taker. We don't need to bother with E because we are set now. Summer will pay for what she did to you. Nobody locks up my best friend and gets away with it."
Luka says he "got what he needed". What did he get? (1 point)
Luka says "I've found her weak spot". Who is he referring to? (1 point)
Luka says "We don't need to bother with E because we are set now". What does he mean by this? (1 point)
When Luka says he "got what he needed" he is referring to the bracelet he stole from Summer's house. (1 point)
When Luka says "I've found her weak spot", he is referring to Jessica. (1 point)
When Luka says "We don't need to bother with E because we are set now" he is saying that they don't need to worry about recruiting Ezra to help them (with their plan to harass Summer), because Luka has already figured out a way to get Jessica to help them (i.e. he's "cracked" Jessica). (1 point)
Q4: Police seized a sticker from Dante when they arrested him. Why did Dante have this sticker? (2 points)
Dante had the sticker because he was stalking Summer at her high school reunion. (2 points)
Evidence that supports this:
- The sticker had an eagle, "Class of 2002", and "15 Year Reunion" printed on it. Summer graduated from Eaglecrest High School in 2002, so her 15 year reunion would have been in 2017.
- Summer mentions in a 2017 blog post titled "Reunion" that someone was watching her at her reunion.
- Dante and Luka got Jessica to leave a note (inside a blue envelope) in Summer's office. The first line of the note says: "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY HI AT THE REUNION KITTEN?"
Q5: What is the significance of the Seattle Pulse magazine? (2 points)
The Seattle Pulse has an interview with an MMA fighter named Alex Romero, who lost an August 21st fight to "Stevens." This is significant because Jessica lost a $25,000 bet on this fight (see the Reggie's Casino Receipt). (2 points)
