An email scheduled for 8 a.m. Cancelled at 10:58 p.m. by someone at her desk.
Sunday night, 15 September 2019. Priya Raman, 34, co-founder and CFO of Ridgeline Roasters in downtown Asheville, is alone in the roastery finishing the numbers for a $2.4 million investment that closes Monday at ten. She has found that the investor deck overstates revenue by forty per cent. At 21:12 she schedules an email to the lead investor to send itself at 08:00, copied to her co-founder.
At 06:40 Monday the opening barista finds her on the office floor. The fire extinguisher is gone from its bracket. The email never sent: at 22:58 somebody woke her laptop with the password from her desk drawer, cancelled the scheduled send, deleted the draft and emptied the trash. Google kept a copy anyway.
Six people had a key, a grudge or a reason, and every one of them carried a phone that night. The file holds the smart-lock event log, the cell-site records, the rideshare trip data, the Slack export and the Google Workspace audit trail. The District Attorney called it circumstantial. Read the machines' account of the night and decide.
Read all 24 documents and name the person who killed Priya Raman. One accusation. Right or wrong, the solution file opens and shows every document that convicts. There are no hints and nothing is marked.
