Task 3: Who stole the vase?
Amy, the richest woman in town, threw a party. It was crowded and turned out to be a huge
success, until about 12:00 a.m. That’s when Amy noticed that her valuable vase was missing 1 from
the entry hall table. When the police chief arrived, he asked each visitor to make a statement.
Phillip McDonald stepped forward, saying, “I was one of the first to arrive, about the sane 2 time as
Julie Becker. I never once left the house. If people don’t remember me, it’s because I spent most of
time in a bedroom, watching a basketball game.” The chief took down what Phillip’s said, then
told him he could go. Rod 3 Bush was the next. He also claimed that he had never left the house,
though he did step out onto a second story balcony, but it was so cold that he came back in
immediately. Julie Becker was the third to make a statement She also claimed never to have left or
seen anything. “I spent much of the party moving from group to group and eating the various
tables.” The chief told her to leave, too, and watched as she went into the hall and took her coat
from the top of a crowded coat rack 4. Now the chief started to suspect one of the three guests.
