How terrible! Ms. Mary Petunia's beagle, Princess, has been snatched out of her home! See if you can sort through the evidence left at the crime scene and return Princess to her rightful owner.

The Scene
Ms. Petunia loves her beagle, Princess. This Thursday afternoon, she had to leave Princess at home while she went out to restock her kitchen with groceries. Ms. Petunia was only gone for two hours, but when she returned home, she found the window on the front of her house open and her precious Princess gone! She immediately called the police to report the theft. When the police arrived at the house, they questioned Ms. Petunia and collected evidence. The following is a list of items placed in evidence for examination:

• fingerprints from window ledge and piano bench
• blood samples from window casing
• hair from window
• DNA from saliva on cigarette butt
• blow fly larva from meat on the ground

The Suspects
There are two suspects in this criminal investigation.
Michael O'Callahan-Ms. Petunia's neighbor. Michael hates dogs and has argued with Ms. Petunia multiple times about Princess's barking. He has been overheard saying, "I'm going to shut that dog up once and for all!"

Charlene Butternut-Ms. Petunia's co-worker. Charlene breeds beagles and raves that Princess is a "perfect specimen for breeding." She has envied Princess since Ms. Petunia received her from her son as a 45th birthday present three years ago.
