A priceless golden statuette vanished from a locked vault. Three people had access codes: the director, the treasurer, and the security chief. The vault door showed no signs of forced entry. The director claimed she was asleep. The treasurer claimed he was at a midnight diner. The security chief claimed he was reviewing camera footage. The detective arrested the security chief. Why?
There is no camera footage of the vault being opened
If the security chief was reviewing footage, he would have seen the theft occur or noticed the camera was disabled, exposing his lie about his activities.
