From ihnp4!pesnta!wjvax!karen Fri Apr 12 16:11:43 1985 From: karen@wjvax.UUCP (Karen Pline) Organization: Watkins Johnson, San Jose, Calif. Thoughts - I think Linda stabbed Zach. We have no idea as of yet whether Zach died of stab wounds, was shot, etc. But at least I think she inflicted some injury on him. Then she took what money was in the apartment and used the plane ticket to get out of town. But I think Palmer and Jasper saw the body (and maybe killed Zach, or inflicted further injury together). As of this moment, of course, we don't know if they'll find any money or the plane ticket in the apartment. But we do know which of the suspects could not have committed the murder - Myra. She never left the Manor, and she was totally against taking that man's life. Also, I don't think Ross is the murderer, unless he left and came back. He looked too startled, and the murder weapon was still there. Lastly, I don't think Andrew could have murdered Zach. I think he's agitated because he's worried about his Mom. Like Linda said, he just doesn't have the imagination. One more - Daisy. She's the suspect, so she's obviously not the murderer. But I think she'll admit it because she thinks Nina killed Zach, and Daisy wants to protect her daughter (sound familiar to those of you who saw Gen. Hosp. when Laura killed David and Leslie took the rap for her and went to jail until Laura regained her memory?). But they didn't account for Tad, Cynthia, or Adam on today's show. ============================================================================ From ihnp4!houxm!vax135!cornell!uw-beaver!tektronix!reed!nsc-pdc!gas Thu Apr 11 12:00:34 1985 From: gas@nsc-pdc.UUCP (Gini Shevrin) Organization: NSC Portland Development Center, Portland Oregon The contest doesn't end til May 20 or so. It's going to be a long drawn out mystery. My money is on Linda. ============================================================================ From ihnp4!fortune!lowe Fri Apr 12 11:08:50 1985 From: lowe@fortune.UUCP (Aileen Lowe) Organization: Fortune Systems, Redwood City, CA We both agree that Zach's future murderer will be none other then Sloan, however, Linda will be arrested for it since she has her fingerprints on the gun. How unique, the butler did it! ============================================================================ >From ihuxi!jmb2 Mon Apr 15 11:43:21 1985 remote from ihnp4 Date: 15 Apr 85 11:43:21 CST (Mon) I believe Linda is the culprit. 1) She thought she had found it all, money, a real lover, and a way to get out of Pine Valley. She had to be totally devastated when Zach told her that he was just using her, that nobody could love her. 2) She has a terrible temper, ex. the fight with Nina, and the looks that she gave Andrew when he told her about his mother and Zach had to hit a nerve. 3) I really don't beleive her character is going anywhere, and brings very little if any to the show. 4) Sloane wouldn't kill Zach, I don't think he could bring himself to do something like that. He probably thought Palmer had done something to explain his wariness. 5) Palmer is too big of person on AMC to be quilty, so to is Daisy, but she will probably be charged and confess because she will think Nina did it. I hope they don't drag it out too long, things tend to get boring, like when Jenny's father was going to blow up the Martins. I thought it was never going to happen. ============================================================================ From ihnp4!mhuxn!mhuxr!mhuxt!houxm!hou2b!halle Mon Apr 15 07:46:54 1985 From: halle@hou2b.UUCP (J.HALLE) I'm betting on a "Murder on the Orient Express" situation. I bet everyone took a stab at him. ============================================================================ >From sfwoo!lsw Wed Apr 17 13:23:41 1985 remote from ihnp4 My vote is for Cynthia... I think Linda left without killing Zach, Ross came in, fought with him and then knocked him out... Cynthia walked in after Ross left and killed him since he was unconscious and the knife was handy. She may even have collected the Photos that she's been giving Ross a hard time about just to cover herself... after all, why hasnt the police found the photos yet?

That's wounded) Zach because Ross hadn't been there yet when she had the knife pointed at him. I think Ross would have noticed it if Zach was stabbed! So I think I'm going to settle on Cynthia. That's too bad - I really liked the idea of one person *thinking* they killed him and someone else really doing it. I suppose it still could work out that way.

If you recall, Donna went back to their apartment and spilled her guts to Benny about how everything was her fault for not alerting Pine Valley to what a despicable swine Zach was(gr). Benny calmed her down and made her go rest in her room. He said that he wouldn't go in to work that night but would stay in their apartment in case she needed him. Now- being the do-gooder and all-around reasonable guy that he is, I am convinced that while Donna was asleep he went over to Zach's to see if he could make Zach leave town. Of course Zach just sneered at Benny and probably said something pretty crude about Donna and/or the Duchesse(Phoebe) provoking Benny into giving him a punch in the nose. Zach must have picked up the knife he had wrestled from Linda before throwing that cheap piece of baggage out, and gone after Benny with it. In the struggle to avoid being hurt himself, Benny accidentally kills Zach. He then goes home and pretends he was there all evening. ============================================================================ Path: ihuxb!ihnp4!mhuxn!mhuxm!sftig!sftri!sfmag!eagle!ulysses!allegra!bellcore!decvax!genrad!panda!talcott!wjh12!foxvax1!brunix!djr From: djr@brunix.UUCP (David Rosenzweig) Newsgroups: net.tv.soaps Subject: Re: Who Murdered Zach Contest Date-Received: 20 Apr 85 16:50:29 GMT Organization: Brown University Computer Science Many people are suspected of killing Zachary, and knowing soap operas, surely the wrong person(s) will be arrested and tried. The point is: Who is immoral enough to let an innocent person take the rap? The only possible answers are Cynthia Preston and Linda Warner. I am quite certain that Cynthia did it! ============================================================================ From: allegra!rayssd!m1b (M. Joseph Barone) To: rayssd!allegra!ihuxb!alle Allen, My money is on Linda because of the argument she had with Zach. The last scene shows her nearly foaming at the mouth and holding a nice big butcher knife. Also, Zach had scratch marks on his face which, to me, implies a struggle. His stab wounds were in his chest so he saw it coming. My wife believes that Cynthia did it. My wife followed very logical reasoning: since Linda is the obvious suspect, it can't be her! With Daisy taking the rap, Cynthia is as happy as a clam.

Failing that, I'd have to go with Linda since she's not really an important character anyway. They couldn't send people like Palmer or Cliff to jail. (then maybe Sloane? The Butler Did It!) ============================================================================ Path: ihuxb!ihnp4!mhuxn!mhuxr!mhuxt!houxm!whuxl!whuxlm!akgua!mcnc!decvax!dartvax!jws From: jws@dartvax.UUCP (John W.

(The same reasoning eliminates many candidates). I wish it were Cinthia, but I fear we are in for more of her yet. So it does seem to boil down to Linda. No great loss... -John ============================================================================
