Detective Brown reviewed the information they had on the case so far. A lady was found shot and they already had a list of suspects - John, Mark, Sarah, Henry, and Carol. Plus, there were five notes that were found that were from the killer. The first was found in a supply room. The second was found in an art studio. The third was in a restroom, the fourth in an animal shelter, and the fifth at the harbor. All of the notes read the same thing, "The clues are where you find the notes." Yet, nothing was found at anyplace the notes were.

Taking one more look at all the clues, Detective Brown immediately solved the case.

Who did it?

missemogirl Apr 22, 2011	At first I thought that it wasn't John because a note was found in the restroom and it wasnt mark because of the art studio but I couldn't fit the other 3.. So stupid of me!
Radd_stuff Apr 24, 2011	Easy but good
Marple Apr 29, 2011	Very easy but I still liked it!
NothingToLose May 09, 2011	This is such a common scenario in brain teasers, but I just HAVE to wonder: What kind of killer leaves clues that reveal their identity?? Calling cards perhaps, but actual clues? That just seems silly.
rach2cats May 20, 2011	Thank you so much for the great comments! I'm working on more brain teasers!
xxsoftballxx13x May 23, 2011	It was easy, but fun. I liked how you had five suspects. Someone who has no idea about the acronym could spend ages trying to figure out who did it, only to find that the answer is in the question.
allpenguinnotux May 25, 2011	that was a fun riddle

selpy123 Nov 08, 2012	I knew it was Sarah Supply Art Restroom A Harbour
selpy123 Nov 08, 2012	WHY THE HECK WOULD SHE WANNA GET FOUIND OUT?
ursulanq Nov 20, 2012	If only the killers would be idiotic enough to that in real life, then life would be a lot happier. Nice riddle! Easy but aren't the ones you can figure out the answer to the fun ones??
Candi7 Mar 21, 2013	why on earth would she write notes saying who she was? i have no clue why any killer would leave evidence plainly stating who they were... ON PURPOSE!
Vidocq May 14, 2013	That's assuming she wants to get away with it. Sarah could have a death wish, want the fame that comes by being an accused murderess, be insane... she might ven have a foolproof alibi so that she can take advantage of double jeopardy. Leaving the notes looks stupid but it could be really smart.
