Spot the Lie: Suspect Interrogation

Who’s telling the truth, and who’s trying to mislead? Read carefully.

Interrogation Room Scene

Test your instincts — Can you identify the lie hidden in plain sight as suspects are grilled in this high-stakes interrogation?

It was 9:00 PM when a jewelry store on Maple Street was broken into. The alarm went off at 9:03 PM, and police arrived within five minutes. Three suspects were apprehended nearby: the store's former employee, a rival jeweler, and a local troublemaker.

Below is the transcript from the interrogation room. Read carefully—each suspect provides an alibi. But one of them is lying. Your task: Spot the lie, analyze the inconsistencies, and determine who is covering something up.

Clue: The alarm system timestamp is accurate to the second. The store's CCTV confirms that the thief entered the building at 9:01 PM and exited by 9:03 PM.

Suspect 1: Jared Thompson (Former Employee)

“I was at the diner on 4th Avenue having dinner. I ordered at 8:45 PM and was still there when I saw the cop cars speed by around 9:10. You can ask the waitress—I was there the whole time.”

Suspect 2: Lena Rivera (Rival Jeweler)

“I had just finished closing my shop two blocks away. I left at 8:50 PM, stopped at the gas station for snacks, and got home by 9:10. I was on a call with my sister during the drive—you can check my phone logs.”

Suspect 3: Kyle Brooks (Local Troublemaker)

“I was out jogging like I do every night. I passed Maple Street at around 9:05, saw flashing lights already. I never went near the store—I swear. Check my fitness app; it tracks my route.”

Your Turn: One of these suspects gave a timeline that contradicts the hard evidence. Who is lying, and what detail gives them away?

The diner has confirmed Jared was indeed seated there. Security footage from the gas station shows Lena making a purchase at 9:05 PM. But that timing would place her near the store just after the crime happened. Her shop is two blocks away from the jewelry store, and it would take only 2 minutes to get there on foot.

Kyle’s jogging route was confirmed—but the app shows he passed Maple Street at 9:02 PM, *before* police lights were present. His claim about flashing lights at 9:05 doesn’t add up.

Final Challenge: You’ve got timelines, alibis, and digital evidence. Now, it's time to answer: Who lied, what was the lie, and what could be their motive?

Leave your answer in the comments or tag us with your theory. Think like a detective—every second matters!
