There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." With a clue from Detective Anderson, the police officers immediately arrested Jack for the murder of Mr. Smith.
