The photograph “In Front of the Brooklyn Bridge South Street Seaport” and it’s caption in Kat Averell’s archive may lead one to believe that she is merely having a good time with her best friends on the Brooklyn Bridge. This photo may look like a Kodak moment, a memory the three pals wanted to capture as a keepsake for the rest of their lives, but it is actually a clever ploy by main suspect Katharine Averell. This photo was taken so Katharine could use it as an alibi for the crime she committed previously. Earlier in the day, the Best Western Seaport Inn hotel was robbed at gunpoint. The suspect is said to have fled on foot, and was last seen entering the crowds moving towards the Brooklyn Bridge. Katharine is dressed in all black, in an attempt to camouflage with the rest of the crowd. She is wearing what appears to be a green scarf, but it is clearly the facemask she wore while robbing the front desk. It is highly probable that in her attempt to escape, she imposed herself in a photo with two strangers to cover up her true intentions that day. The two “best friends” next to her are implementing the classic hands on the hip pose, something they had been planning for some time, while Katharine is stuck awkwardly in between the two, her actions too swift for the two unassuming friends to react to. Katharine’s hands are also completely hidden behind the two people next to her, hiding the physical evidence. Katharine uses a sweet smile to cover up her true, malicious intentions. However, the investigators are well versed in their fields and made sure not to overlook this cunning suspect.
Megan Beveridge recently posted a flyer from the Florence and the Machine concert in her archive. The presentation of this photo and its caption seem to claim that she went to the concert in September. This is, however, far from the truth. If she did, in fact, attend the concert why did she post a flyer and not an actual photo or video of Florence Welch herself? This is simply a photocopied flyer showing no evidence that she was at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Her roommate, Margaret Gratian, did attend the concert that day. Megan, in her desire to have experienced the concert herself must have taken the flyer that Margaret brought home and photocopied it. As you can see upon further inspection, the scanned flyer has splotches near the top which shows that this is not an original print. Megan has always idolized Florence since she made her debut, and having the flyer as a keepsake is the closest thing she could find to experiencing the actual concert.
Angela may think she sees the evidence of a crime in my artifact “In Front of the Brooklyn Bridge South Street Seaport,” but her reasoning is absolutely ludicrous. She claims that the poses of my two friends (whom she claims are strangers) beside me are planned and matching while I simply inserted myself into the picture as a cover. However, if one examines the picture closely one would see that my friends are clearly at ease with my closeness and not exhibiting the customary wariness of strangers. If my hands were behind their backs to hide the evidence, wouldn’t one of them be nervous about having gun behind their head? My arm around each back suggests camaraderie, even friendship, not imposition. Also, if the suspect in her alleged case were actually heading towards the Brooklyn Bridge for an escape, they would not head towards South Street Seaport, which is not actually near the entrance to the bridge. Furthermore, I suspect the crime never even took place, as I cannot verify the existence of a “Best Western Seaport Inn hotel” much less a mention of a robbery. Angela’s delusional ramblings make too much of a simple day in the city with friends.
