Victor’s family owns a lucrative import business in Spain, and it became the target of a particularly inflammatory article by Martin Scardale. The article in turn led to an awkward investigation by local authorities. Victor was sent to silence this nuisance.
Martin was staying at a resort in Morocco that is owned by friends of the Alvarez family. Victor spiked the punch at a party being thrown for the guests and had the owners discretely dispose of the bottle. After the party, Victor followed Martin and drowned him by holding him under the water in a pool once no one was looking.
The owners of the resort covered for Victor – they told police he was eating a late dinner with them at the time of the murder.
Because of the spiked punch, Martin had a high level of alcohol in his blood when his body was found. The police assumed he had drowned due to his own negligence after falling into a pool while drunk.
Ivana considered the anti-technology movement Martin was pushing in the media to be a possible road-block for the technological research she helps fund at the university.
The University maintains a hornet habitat. Ivanna removed the caution sign from the entrance to the habitat and replaced with a sign indicating that it was the door to the men’s restroom. While Ivana was giving Martin a tour of the biology department, she directed him into the habitat. She closed and locked the door behind him. She then sprayed a hornet attack pheromone into the habitat. This drove the hornets into a frenzy. Martin was quickly killed. She then replaced the caution sign on the door.
No one knew that Ivana had been giving Martin a tour. She told the Dean of the University to tell people that they had been in a business meeting at the time of the murder. It is known around the university that one obeys the Federovs when they give instructions. He was happy to comply.
As far as anyone could tell, Martin had ignored the warning sign and wandered carelessly into the hornet habitat.
Martin visited Sylvester’s pawn shop while in Warsaw on business. Sylvester had heard of Martin’s journalistic campaign against technological advancements and thought he might be able to help speak out against the Nazis and their persecution of gypsies in Germany. When Martin refused to help, Sylvester killed him in frustration.
Sylvester approached Martin in an alley and asked to read his palm. He then held Martin’s wrist with his left hand while he pulled a crystal ball from his pocket with his right hand and used it to bash Martin’s head. The blow killed Martin instantly. Sylvester shattered the crystal ball on the ground and broke a window nearby so that the shards of the crystal ball would be mixed in with shards from the broken window.
Sylvester killed Martin outside of the pawn shop, but he left the pawn shop without locking up. He’s known to be paranoid about thieves, so people believe he was inside the pawn shop at the time of the murder.
Some troublesome kids had recently been breaking windows in the neighborhood where Sylvester keeps his shop. He reported seeing them running from the alley after he had heard glass breaking and a loud thud. The police assumed these kids had broken the window, gotten in a fight with Martin and killed him with a rock.
Having no children of his own, Heinrich has come to view his nurse, Erika Reinhardt, as the daughter he never had. As a result, he is very loyal to and protective of her. She told the General that Martin Scardale was harassing her and her family. According to her, this was due to his disapproval of the use of new technology at the hospital where she works. Heinrich killed Scardale as a favor to her.
While Martin was visiting Frankfurt, Heinrich learned where he would be one night and drove to the location in his BMW. He followed Martin into a deserted alley and ran him over. After washing the blood off his car, Heinrich “accidentally” rear-ended a car on the road the next day. Neither he nor the driver of the other car was hurt, but enough damage was done to the front bumper that no one ever noticed the damage that had already been done when he hit Martin.
The General is frequently ill. The night of the murder, he began to feign an especially bad illness in the evening. When everyone else had gone to bed, they believed he was too ill to get up and that he was possibly dying. He “recovered” late in the morning after the murder.
Heinrich has no love for the Nazis. He mounted a Nazi eagle on the front of his car prior to the murder. This left tell-tale damage on Martin’s body. Since the Nazi authorities welcomed Martin’s death and did not want to risk seeing one of their own investigated, they covered up the murder and chalked up the death to “negligence.”
Erika is a Nazi sympathizer who has made herself available for special assignments. As Martin’s anti-technology campaign gained a following in Germany, the Nazi party started to view him as a threat. Erika was sent to shut him up.
Martin needed surgery at Erika’s hospital. Prior to the surgery, Erika drugged the chief surgeon’s meal. The drug kicked in during the surgery, causing him to lose coordination. He inadvertently severed an artery during the surgery. Martin quickly bled out and died.
Erika brought the chief surgeon his lunch just before he was scheduled to perform Martin’s surgery. She commonly delivers meals to doctors in the hospital, so this didn’t arouse any suspicion.
The drug Erika used to spike the surgeon’s food was specially formulated to only affect hand-eye coordination. Since the surgeon never felt any other effects from the drug, even he believed the death had been caused by his negligence.
