Detective Miller walked into a freezing cabin during a blizzard. The victim sat at a wooden table with a fountain pen in his hand, frozen solid. A suicide note on the desk read: 'I couldn't bear the cold any longer, so I broke the window to let the storm finish me.' Miller knew instantly it was murder. Why?
The window was broken from the outside.
If someone inside broke the window to let the storm in, the glass shards would be found primarily outside the cabin. If they are inside, the window was broken from the outside.
