Who does Sheriff Paterson suspect?

Solution

JoBeth-and the sheriff was right. A canine enthusiast like her Aunt Tilly, JoBeth understood the deadly effects chocolate could have on a dog. Harold set the pie on the counter. Knowing Cupcake couldn't jump very high, JoBeth took the pie from the counter and placed it on the floor, where its remains were later found. She then left the farmhouse with Prince, returning only after her dastardly deed was accomplished.

How did Detective Alberts know that Mr. Trimble was the thief?

Solution

Trimble said he and the owner, Mr. Gorman, were great friends, but the clerk, Hal, mentioned that Mr. Thomas had bought the place two years ago and never bothered to change the name on the sign. If Trimble really was good friends with the owner, he would have known the store owner's name.
