Common Wrong Answers

The wife

The wife claimed she was reading a book, which is a plausible activity for a Sunday afternoon. There is no evidence to suggest that she was lying.

The butler

The butler stated he was taking a shower, which is a reasonable alibi and does not contradict the timing of the murder.

The maid

The maid claimed she was folding clothes, which is a normal household task and does not provide any inconsistencies with the timeline.
