Harry (waves medical paper): Because Hunt had a leg injury in the past and still has some
issues with it (passes paper around). Your entire conjecture is based on the fact that Hunt had
jumped down to the stairway but with his injured leg that isn’t possible. In fact, how had Hunt
found out about Kenneth?
Johnson: I agree with you on the latter part Harry. How had Mr. Hunt even found out about
Ms. Kenneth searching the company’s finances? Was she sanctioned to do so and so it was an
open secret?
George: No. She said that she was doing this as a routine check and was just ensuring that
everything was in place.
Jacob (rubbing chin): Mary, do we have any photos from the CCTV of the restaurant that prove
the call ended when the record said so? Like dropping the phone from her ear.
Mary: No. She made the call using her airpods. There is no such indication. But her phone
records are clear.
Jacob: So, she can make a phone call without lifting the phone to her ear, right? And we only
have call records from one phone, correct?
George: What are you getting at?
Jacob: Look at those CCTV shots. I think I spied another phone on her. One that she used only
for a second before putting back inside her purse. A cheap burner.
Johnson: You think she made a call with the burner? A call that she did not want tracked or
known about?
Jacob: I think she might have tried to blackmail Mr. Hunt. I don’t doubt her snooping the office
and finding dirt but I am not sure that revealing it was her first thought.
Harry: The soundest theory I heard all day. Kenneth found out that Hunt had some stuff that
painted him in a bad light and instead of reporting it, tried to use it against him. When she lost
the car containing the shady details, she decided to come forth and say that it was stolen by
Hunt. Brilliant!
Jenna: I think there are three problems in this theory.
Johnson: Oh, and what is that?
Jenna: It does not explain the first call Ms. Kenneth made and nor do Mr. Hunt’s phone records
show that he did receive any such call at all.
Harry: Kenneth might have given him another burner which she contacted him with. That other
call was just a dummy to throw us off.
Jenna: Alright, but there is also the fact that her car got stolen. The theft is the main part of the
case. We don’t know if Mr. Hunt might have gotten the car stolen after his call with Ms.
