Daddy's Little Girl

Time Period or Locale: Upstate New York. Huge Mansion belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Madison
Detective: Jamie Madison, eldest of the three Madison kids, Attends Thomas Jefferson High School along with his two other siblings Allie Madison and Carly Madison.
Outlineof Crime: It was about one week away from Christmas day, and the Madison’s were all at home. Mr. and Mrs. Madison cuddling next to the fire place drinking hot cocoa. Jamie was upstairs practicing on his brand new guitar an early x-mas gift from mom and dad. Allie was on the phone with her Patrick. While Carly was practicing her choir solo for the up and coming Christmas concert held in Saint Michaels church. All of a sudden the lights die out “is everyone ok?” yells Mr. Madison, a loud shriek echoes around the Mansion. Its carly Mr. Madison says, he runs up the stairs rapid fire, but it’s too late the window was wide open and Carly was nowhere to be insight. “This can’t be happening again” says Mr. Madison. Although Jamie was distraught by Carly’s Ransom who couldn’t shake the feeling that the person whom had plotted this was very close to home. Jamie suspected that his sister Allie might have been involved what he couldn’t understand was why?
Clues: Smashed picture of Carly and her sister Allie. The year before Allie was held ransomed as well luckily she was returned home safely for the slight price of 100,000. The alarm did not go off, almost as if that person new the alarm.
Motive, Method and Opportunity
Motive: Allie and Carly always had a constant sibling rivalry, but the situation worsened after she was kidnapped last year
Method: What seemed to be Allies kidnapping last year was actually a prank that was being pulled by allies’ friends. When Allie was exposed to the truth Allie was furious at her friends, but that was when she created an elaborate plan. Her plan was to see how much her father was willing to pay for her ransom; she wanted to see how much money her father was disposed to pay. The second part of the plan was to execute the same ransom except with Allie to prove to herself once and for which daughter was favored highly
Opportunity: Everyone is some home during the winter break, no one would suspect her in the end she is her sister why would anyone suspect her.
Climax: The Madison’s are all at home awaiting the call of the person whom is holding carly ransom in order to negotiate the money exchange: Ring!!! “Hello” Mr. Madison replies “yes I’m listening”, we want 1, 000, 000 dollars for the safe returning of your daughter Carly, “You’ve got it”. Click, “wow dad a million bucks, not even with allies kidnapping” Jamie had already figured out that Allie was behind the ransom as well that Allies bf Patrick was helping her with this foolish scheme. Meanwhile upstairs Jamie enters allies room “hey Al are you feeling ok?” She replies “I’m fine just let me be” I Know your behind this, “Get out Jamie”. Mr. Madison enters the room “What’s going on her”. Allie broke down and confessed to her father what she had done.

Denouement: she explained to her father how jealous she was of his relationship with carly, and how she was upset of the larger sum that was offered for Carly’s ransom. She wanted to prove that there existed some sort of preference over Allie. Jamie: So you were the one that smashed the picture of you and Carly, and Patrick whom you were talking to for almost the whole night was the one who you let inside the house, that’s why the alarm didn’t go off. You longed for the same relationship that Carly and dad shared; you thought that the price of your life would be the only way to tell who was favored highly.
