The Sunday Ledger

A mystery in Partridge, Missouri.
LocationPartridge, MO
FiledThis Sunday, 6:14 AM
StatusOpen

For six months, someone in Partridge has been leaving envelopes of cash on doorsteps every Sunday morning. Just enough to cover a late rent payment. An overdue hospital bill. A parking ticket that would have turned into a warrant. Nobody has ever seen the person deliver them. The town started calling them The Sunday Debtor.

Last Sunday, the envelopes stopped.

This Sunday, a single envelope was found on the steps of City Hall. It did not contain money. It contained a torn photograph, a burned matchbook, and a note written in block letters: "The town does not need your kindness anymore."

Someone in Partridge knows who The Sunday Debtor is. Several people know more than they are willing to say. One of them left the threat.

Investigate every location on the map. Interview every resident willing to speak. Collect the evidence. When you think you understand what happened, submit your theory.

Five Questions To Answer

  1. Who started it?
  2. What evidence proves it?
  3. Where did the turning point happen?
  4. Who is lying?
  5. Who knows more than they admit?
