Thirty years later your university club, the Mystery Research Club, pries open old wounds, revisiting this unsolved case as a research assignment. Unexpected new clues are revealed as you use your secret ability to peer into the past, viewing key items and events in a new light. Use your uniquely gained knowledge to steer conversations and interviews with witnesses and potential suspects. Maintain your own secrets while uncovering a series of long-buried mysteries leading to the true killer.
