HINT 05

The ‘Holland Park Hotel’, ‘works in modelling’ and ‘only 18 years old’. We know these notes belong to Randall as he was working on this story that was released in the newspaper about Niles. The torn notepad scan belongs to Randall as it was found in his briefcase (the .txt file online says so). Why is the home address, 41 Wessex Sq, key to this? Read the Police Report by Officer Simon Stephens
(if you do not want to proceed with the answer to this just yet, then we advise you to work on the alibis for the other suspects before revealing your answer below)

Answer

Simon Stephens was called to an address in Wessex Square at 5:30 in the morning of the 13th December 1965, around the time of the murder. A man was found drunk and lived at 41 Wessex Square (the man let himself in with a key), the same address that Randall identified in his notepad as the home of Niles Goodwin. The Police were with Niles at the time of the murder. Niles has an alibi.
