| Aug 16, 2019 at 15:44 | comment | added | Abbas | @Abigail True, but that part can be used as a way to wrap up the puzzle. Also I always like to say: "It is possible to arrive at the correct solution through incorrect reasoning and arrive at an incorrect solution through correct reasoning." | |
| Aug 16, 2019 at 15:41 | comment | added | Abbas | As for opening the door, I doubt she'd have had the time/strength in the end. Though she should've shouted and called for help. I don't know why she didn't, perhaps the nature of the poison refrained her. | |
| Aug 16, 2019 at 15:39 | comment | added | Abbas | Candice was alone in her room for approximately 4 hours and 40-45 minutes, she had (probably) just thought about going to bed, after a little googling I found that heart medicine is usually taken just before going to bed. In that time she had only drank the water and taken her tablet. Again there's some psychology involved. She would have attributed the fault to the pills rather than water because it was brought by Aaron and simply because among pill and water, pill seems the better object for poison (Remember she wouldn't have long to think things over). | |
| Aug 16, 2019 at 15:33 | comment | added | Abbas | @Abigail I thought of all these points. The answers I guess are: Candice was having arguments with Aaron not Bethany whom she was on good terms with. she would therefore assume Aaron was trying to murder her because that is the simple human psychology, you are always looking to validate your own beliefs, I think it is called confirmation bias. | |

@GridAlien actually I did say in which case poisoning one tablet would be the way to go. I have corrected the line you refer to, Having ADD and not being a native Englsh speaker causes me to write or talk gibberish sometimes. :-) I hope it is clearer now.

corrected word usage.

| Aug 15, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | GridAlien | @Voldemort'sWrath, I like that Abbas's answer touches on Aaron being unable to know exactly when the poison is consumed, despite the slight vaguer-y on how many [items] were poisoned ("And the rest were all OK" implies 1). Both answers are satisfactory to me, and you both did a great job! | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 13:54 | comment | added | Voldemort's Wrath | @Abbas - Where did you ask for importance? EDIT: Ohh! I just saw that... | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 13:53 | comment | added | Abbas | @Voldemort'sWrath I don't think I did. I was the one who asked for the importance of the missing letters and not the remaining ones. You then updated you answer to the actual killer while I was writing my answer. | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 13:51 | comment | added | Voldemort's Wrath | You sniped me! Nooo! To be honest, though, I think my answer is more definite on the how (the way the murderer did it)... @GridAlien, what do you think? | |

| Aug 15, 2019 at 13:50 | comment | added | GridAlien | You got it! That's how Candice was able to disinherit her murderer. He laced one of the pills was poison before she changed her will. She changed it, but by then it was too late, it was only a matter of time before the fatal dose. | |
