7:35 am...the phone rings and it's the wife. "Why is there pink dots all over the floor down the hallway? Did you spill something this morning?"
Nope..not me, don't know what you are talking about.
2:03 pm...I arrive home and come into the house. I completely forgot about the pink dots...hey, what she says goes in one ear out the other, you guys know how that is. I see the dots on the floor and then I recall the first interrogation. Hmmm, pink dots on the carpet. So I don my investigator cap and grab my monocle and set to the task of discovering the perpetrator of this vile crime! There are 2 suspects, and unknown substance and both suspects deny the crime.
The prime suspect has to be the 8yr old. But, upon entering her room , there is no pink dots. The dots did not exist when I left at 4:30 am to go to work. The Dots were discovered at 6:40 am and the 8 yr old was in bed, so I must mostly dismiss this suspect as the perpetrator.
My first thought is the dots come from the basement. I notice there is pink dots in the living room as well as the hallway, so I am thinking they come from the basement..the 22 yr old daughter lives down there. But the trail goes stale, yet it goes stale right at the top of the stairs. The carpet going down the stairs is darker and the dots at the top very small, so it must have been the end of the trail. I back track with my forensic kit and magnifying glass. I head down the hall and into the bathroom. The dots get bigger all the way into there. On my hands and knees I see the source. A big glob of pink make-up on the little carpet in front of the toilet. Ah hah! So make-up is the pink dots. I see no such make up matching the make-up on the floor, however an inspection of the trash can reveals and entire roll of toilet paper. The perpetrator grabed a new roll and used the entire roll to try and wipe their hands off..what a waste. A new trail leads me into the computer room. More pink dots, not as dark as in the bathroom, but darker than in the hallway. I believe I have solved the crime.
This is my theory. The criminal began her day in the bathroom...like any girl would. She grabbed her make-up and it slipped out of her hands on to the floor, the make-up itself either fell out or broke off on to the carpet into a huge glob of a mess. Quickly reaching down to grab the make-up, the spilled or broken contents covered the perpetrators hands in the evidence. In a quick blaze of laziness and carelessness, the suspect grabbed an entire roll of toilet paper and began scrubbing her hands. Why pull off some sheets when you can waste the whole roll. As she stumbled around cleaning her hands and trying to be quiet about it, she stepped on a glob of the make up. Once finished cleaning her hands, but not bothering to clean up the glob on the carpet that still remains to this very minute, she left the bathroom. She walked into the computer room which is only a few feet down the hall. She went to the window too look outside. This would be to determine the type of clothing needed to take on the rest of the day I surmise. Then she turned around and left, walking down the hall, through the living room and dining room and down the stairs. The pink dots become weaker as she travels, this is only logical. I believe the perp is still wearing those socks too. When the suspect returns home, the evidence is sure to still be located on her right heal. Measuring from the door in the office to the first pink dot, makes me believe this is the appropriate heal to check and she will be caught pink footed! :biggrin:
What the heck I'm supposed to do about several dozen smeared pink make-up spots on white carpet is beyond me.
