Detective Miller stared at the freezing winter crime scene inside the locked walk-in freezer. The victim was seated at a table with a half-melted ice cream cone resting beside his hand. Miller immediately arrested the store manager, knowing the ice cream proved the victim had not been locked inside overnight as the manager claimed. Why did the ice cream give the manager away?
The ice cream was half-melted.
The crime scene was a freezing winter walk-in freezer. If the victim had been trapped there overnight, the ice cream would have been completely frozen solid, not half-melted.
