The Stork Mystery

The facts:

At approximately 4:00 PM EST on Friday, March 20th, Greg, Heather, and Amber arrived home to find the pictured hulking monstrosity stalking bird of prey cute sign in the front yard.

Donna, Grayson, and Natalie were at the scene of the crime. Donna and Natalie both seemed to be hiding something. They obviously had knowledge of who the culprits were, but were being very uncooperative. Grayson was very tight lipped. If he knows something, he is hiding it well.

What we know:

• The culprits supposedly came to visit us in the hospital.
• A large corporation is involved.
• The crime was committed between Wednesday morning at 5:30 AM and Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM.

What we don't know:

• Is there any connection to the much maligned Christmas mystery of 2006?
• The extent of Grayson's involvement.
• Was Amber just a diversion?

The clues:

• The sign cannot survive for long in windy conditions. It must have been freshly planted upon our arrival on Friday afternoon.
• Donna, Natalie, and Grayson were most likely present at the time of the crime based upon their body language when questioned.
• The Stork itself is older than the personalized "Amber Rose" sign, suggesting that the crime was planned long before Amber's name was finalized. In fact, the "Amber Rose" sign appears to have been freshly painted, most likely after she was born.
• Donna suggested that we would probably have to turn over the stork at some point. But the truth is that we can retain evidence in an on-going investigation indefinitely. This means that ANSWERS WILL BE FOUND.

The investigation continues...
