Hello there detectives! Mrs. Conner here and what a fantastic job you all did on solving the case of Wayne and Rachel Rutherford! As promised, here is what really happened......

Wayne was an alien. The end.

Just kidding! Actually any of the scenarios you came up with could explain what really happened to the couple. The beauty about this activity is that there isn't a definite answer. Each check we pulled out of the envelope just led to more questions. Science is a lot like this. When we are trying to find an answer to a problem, too often our results aren't that easy to explain. Many times we are left scratching our heads.

So, yes! I mislead each and every one of you ON PURPOSE! Mwahaha! You had fun...admit it!
