Growing up on shows like Murder, She Wrote; Unexplained Mysteries; and the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle instilled a great love for solving mysteries in me from a very young age.
For example, why are there mysterious, enormous arrows all over America, or why do some people put windows in the floors of their homes?

I walked through the snow towards the window, and I had to wipe the condensation off the window to see inside. That is when I saw his body. I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward.”
The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Teddy.
