=**Colonel Mustard Did It!!!!!**=

He gambled too much on the stock market and lost his retirement. When he went to D.C. to demand his veterans bonus early with the remainder of the Bonus Army, he was denied. He decided to take his frustrations out by robbing a successful millionaire. He learned about the Hill Mansion when the 1927 Yankees came to Johnstown for a good will exhibition game at the Point Stadium (the part about Ruth coming is true...Mr. Hill's grandfather got to see him).

Mrs. Peacock - should've been eliminated first since her name is the only one that isn't a color...she drove the Ford.

Mrs. White - next out...her name is Gabby...good name for that radio job!

Professor Plum - third one to eliminate...he liked ragtime music...the others were associated with the Jazz Age.

Mr. Green - eliminated with the Great Gatsby novel as being like Tom - had a mistress as well as wealth and later reconciled...plus Tom and Daisy, or in real life Mr. and Mrs. Green, had a green light out at night in which Gatsby could see.

Miss Scarlett could have fit each but was not associated with Jacob Ruppert...or Colonel Ruppert.
