• Pack of Cigarettes: cigarettes
• Speech: Nowak
• Snow covered stairs: Stairs

Hints:

• The tricky part of this case is going to be figuring out the victim’s cause of death. If all else fails, process of elimination. What couldn’t he have died from?
• The speaker of the speech says that critiquing Nowak is critiquing themself, so that must be their name
• The speech has one person’s writing in red, which matches the red pen held by the victim.
• The dead man has several addresses in his inventory, none of which must be his, as he wouldn’t need a rolodex for his own name and address
• Does the symbol on Sir Issac’s door match with any other evidence?
• The victim has a pack of cigarettes on him, but they don’t match any of the ones sold in the cigarette machine.
• Does the victim’s torn yellow sleeve match anything else in the area?
• The victim sliding down the stairs does not necessarily mean he fell down the stairs. He could have landed on them.
• What’s with the disturbed snow on the bridge guard rail?
