I got it right too, but my logic was that he lied about what he was doing and that that the motive was he got mad at pshrynk for trying to break into one of the cases he had just polished.

Of course after I submitted my answer I spent a day and half second guessing myself thinking I hadn't been clever enough.

Oh well - like an overly logical dolt I went with physical evidence and picked Patricia - matching the Moby Dick on the Nook with her formatting in Mobi, and her comments on PDF as pshrynk's dead format. After Rock's hint on listening to what people said, MTH was my second choice, but of course I stayed with my original pick. And lost.

Congrats to all the insightful intelligent lucky winners!!!

That makes a lot of sense actually - except for the MO. Wouldn't Adrian's preferred mode of murder be evisceration?

I did guess MTH, but for a different reason, quote:

Quote:
"I was right here. Or rather right there, wherever that was before Zelda hit the Red Button. It can become so tedious at times with all of this spatio-temporal transpositioning going on."
Hearing that--before it was revealed that anyone had done any spatio-temporal transitioning at all--made me think that MTH saw pshrynk tampering with the cases (he was closest to him, cleaning them at the time), and calculatingly looked away... but later, he jaunted back in time and whacked the doc when everyone else (including himself) was involved with something else.

My back-up was Verencat's canny statement that there were 10 mods in the room. However technically correct this was, MTH was actually in the room--twice! (I suspected MTH may have bribed Verencat with extra string to play with, which might have even helped distract the others while future-MTH did the deed).

Well... that was fun!

On to Lost!

He wasn't trying to murder him. He was going to tap him on the shoulder to get his attention to ask him what he was doing, and Pshrynk starting waving the crowbar around, not seeing anybody. Adrian panicked, grabbed the crowbar from Pshrynk, and Thwacked him a couple times in the heat of the moment to get his attention. But, being panicked, he didn't know his own strength and... An inadvertent death. Rickey M. Could get him off with Man 2 and no time....

Well, technically interspecies death counts as hunting. That's not illegal in Texas if it's in season...
