The museum curator was found bound to a chair with his mouth taped shut. On the floor beside him, the word 'SNOW' was scrawled in spilled red ink. The three suspects interviewed were Mr. Winter, Mr. Brooks, and Ms. Fields. Detective Cole immediately knew who the culprit was. Who was it and why?
Mr. Winter.
The curator was gagged with tape and unable to speak or write after being bound, yet he supposedly wrote a message in ink. Wait, the riddle relies on the fact that the curator couldn't have written anything while bound and gagged unless the message was a clue pointing to Winter, whose name matches the seasonal theme.
