When detectives arrived at the scene of the robbery,
they began looking for clue to piece together the story
of what happened. The broken window suggested
entrance because the glass was on the inside. The
only disturbance in the office was a painting which hid
a safe. This suggests the person knew the safe was
there. If the location of the hidden safe was known,
the criminal must have known the victim.
