Just as their meeting is ending, the Mavens are approached by Brindlewood County’s chief law enforcement officer, Sheriff Wyman Dalrymple. He tells them that, earlier today, a wealthy financier, Albert Krause, was dragged out of the bay, dead. Mr. Krause and his family were on a yachting vacation and their boat is presently anchored a quarter mile from shore. The surviving Krauses—wife Allison, eldest daughter Sara, son David, and youngest daughter Emily—assert Mr. Krause was drunk and simply fell overboard. Sheriff Dalrymple suspects foul play but if he can’t produce evidence to that effect soon, he’ll be forced to let the family take Albert back to Boston. The body is currently being held in a cold storage at the fish market until the matter can be sorted out. Establishing Question: You met one of the Krause children several years ago. What were the circumstances around that meeting?

Sheriff Dalrymple needs the Mavens’ help in proving foul play. He emphasizes to them that he does not need them to solve the whole mystery—that’s what the sheriff’s department is for. Of course, Murder Mavens are going to do what Murder Mavens are going to do…
