The Valley of Fear Scene 7-8 Study Resource/material

The clues found at the scene of Mr. Douglas' murder provide insights into the identity and motives of the murderer. The sawn-off shotgun suggests the murderer originated from America. The branded sign could connect the murderer to a local gang. Evidence of the murderer sneaking into the manor before the moat was lifted and escaping out the window points to an intruder with knowledge of the area. A mysterious card with the initials "V.V.341" implies involvement of the secretive Vermissa Valley Scowrers gang. The missing wedding ring could indicate the murder was motivated by issues related to Mr. Douglas' marriage.
