Suspect List
Silas Moore
Silas is a quiet, long-time farmhand who prefers animals over people. He opposed the masquerade ball and knew about plans to sell the land. On the night the goats vanished, he was seen near the pens, making him a key suspect.
Beatrice Vane
Beatrice was Penelope’s closest friend, living beyond her means and dependent on Penelope’s money. After a fight over an unpaid loan and knowing she would be removed from the will, she became a prime suspect when valuable jewelry was found near the goat pens.
Julian Fairchild
Julian Stewart lived in Penelope’s shadow, struggling as an artist and dependent on her wealth. In need of money and now the sole heir, he was last seen arguing with Penelope near the fountain, making him a key suspect.
Celeste Sterling
Celeste Sterling, a charismatic art dealer and Penelope’s ex-girlfriend, never truly let her go. Seeing her arrive with another companion reignited old jealousy. Witnesses later reported a tense private exchange between them.
