This one was a little tricky, but if you think about it enough, the clue is there! Good mystery!

wondering why I have to log-in every time I do a new online mystery

I figured who it was, as you said Fran, the clues are there, its simply a matter of thinking about it as the clues are very subtle.

I even figured out that the auditor wouldn't know what a "joey" was and STILL missed it! (sigh)

I strained my brain and came up....with strained brain. Was hoping someone worked with roos...Missed it! Sassi, I did what Fran suggested...hit the back button til I got here!

I caught the clue and figured out the murderer, but it was subtle, as Fran said. I found myself making a time line of the various acts, just the same, to see if there was anything there.

God, if I was Clyde, I would've smacked myself for making such a stupid mistake. I would've told the police he was repeating "Clown... clown.. clown.." instead of "Joey..."

At first... I already know it was clyde.. the reason?....... .. .....Instinct...!!!!!!! I dont like his story when he found the dying body saying joey.........he would have told the police that he heard...giggles,happy boy, or heehaw....how stupid...
