Puzzle Off.

I have no questions.

Here is my response:

What is Pam Hall about to tell the officer from the
Park Service that will explain why she doesn't accept
Hadley Withrop's account of what happened?

Pam will tell the officer, "There are a lot of things
which are strange.

"If the woman had fallen, it seems strange that there
is a sneaker at the edge of the cliff.

"Usually when people fall, they do not lose their
shoes.

"I could see Kimberly Rock from the turn at the top of
the trail. It took me ten minutes to walk that
distance. Since there is no underbrush, I can see
anyone who is walking on the trail.

"I am sure that if Hadley and Sheena had been at the
edge of Old Baldy for two minutes, I would have seen
them walking up the path just two minutes before. As
you know, there is a sharp turn at the end of the
trail where they become hidden from view, but because
there is no underbrush among the trees under the
forest canopy along the path from Kimberly Rock, I
would have been able to see them walking ahead of me.


"The silence was strange as well. If two people were
standing at the edge of the cliff, you'd think they
would be talking, or that Hadley would have cried out
to Sheena to watch out for the edge.

"The strangest thing, however, is that Hadley and
Sheena likely had not come up on the trail just before
me at all, since a spider web that hit my face and
eyes had not been broken. It was not just a spider
web strand, but a complete web, which takes a spider
some time to create. "

The reason that she didn't believe him was that he said he just came up from Kimberley, not more than two minutes ago - but she had run into a spider web in the middle of the trail, meaning no one had gone that way for some quite some time.
