How Does The Mystery of the Sherman Murders - The Fifth Estate Work?

It’s like solving a puzzle where someone hides clues in plain sight, and you have to find them all to know who did it.

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek, but instead of hiding behind furniture, the person who is hiding leaves little notes, like sticky notes on the fridge or messages in a book. You don’t see them right away, but once you start looking closely, they jump out at you.

The Sherman Murders are like that game: someone killed people, and left clues behind. But these clues weren’t easy to find, they were hidden in everyday things, like a newspaper or a diary.

The Fifth Estate Helps You See the Clues

Think of The Fifth Estate as your detective friend who helps you look for those sticky notes. They dig through old papers and ask questions to people who know what happened. It's like having someone help you find the hidden clues so you can solve the mystery together.

It’s not magic, it's just really good detective work, using clues from real life to figure out who was hiding in plain sight.
