Aundrea DeMoy, the victim’s wife, has grown sick of her husband’s complaining. Lately, she has been more inclined to give him extra tablets of Tylenol (acetaminophen) to keep him in less pain – and thus quieter. Mrs. DeMoy claims that she worked late yesterday and stopped at the grocery store before arriving home at 9 pm and finding her husband dead.

Shay Lemarck is a neighbor and colleague of Mr. DeMoy. The two are competing for a research grant at the university and have never been close friends. Ms. Lemarck claims that she met with Mr. DeMoy for tea to discuss a plan to collaborate on their upcoming grant applications, that the meeting went well, and that she left him alive at 6 pm.

Kasey Hatterson is the victim’s research partner. Ms. Hatterson was recently seen arguing with Mr. DeMoy about how to proceed with their upcoming grant application. Mrs. DeMoy mentioned that her husband has caught Ms. Hatterson adjusting the fans in their research lab, which could affect the inhalation rates of any toxic chemicals. Ms. Hatterson claims that he did not see or speak to her partner after leaving the university at noon yesterday.

Dr. Fred Finch is the victim’s doctor. Dr. Finch has gained an unsavory reputation for “disposing” of unwanted or needy patients – like Mr. DeMoy may have become. It is also rumored that Dr. Finch is beginning research into hydrocarbons, and would have been a new competitor for Mr. DeMoy’s research team. Dr. Finch claims he has not seen Mr. DeMoy since a routine check-up last week, at which he prescribed another round of osteoarthritis pain medication.
