THE SOLUTION TO “THE PHANTOM OF HEILBRONN” (SPOILER ALERT). I posted here about “The Phantom of Heilbrunn.” Here is a wikipedia article about the solution to the mystery: “In late March 2009, investigators came to the conclusion that the “Phantom” criminal did not exist, and the DNA recovered at the crime scenes had already been present on the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples.” The clues I referred to are all the bizarre aspects of the crimes with only a genetic connection among them. Annalisa noted how improbable it was that the Phantom of Heilbronn had worked with several accomplices without any of them betraying her.

A similar argument can, and may very have been made by Paterfamilias, about how the Earl of Oxford would have been a master conspirator if none of his accomplices, or Shakespeare’s, ever betrayed the secret of his composition of Shakespeare’s plays. And just think of how faithful a conspiracy it would have to have been: to keep bringing out as Shakespeare’s the stockpile of plays Oxford wrote before his demise. In the immortal words of the Bard: Please give me a break here. (Or did Oxford say that?)
