Inspector Howard

Jerry: When I came out of class, Erin’s locker was wide open. I know it was Erin’s locker because I meet her there every day after class. First I noticed she wasn’t there, then I noticed her locker was open. I was going to shut it for her, but then I thought that maybe someone had broken into it, and I should tell a teacher instead.

Jack: Erin’s locker wasn’t open when I got there. She was supposed to let me copy her notes from yesterday’s history class because I was out sick. I waited by her locker for 5 minutes but she didn’t show up. I had a class, so I just took off. I never saw Erin’s locker open.

Mr. Michaels: When Jack popped his head back in the classroom and said Erin’s locker was open, I didn’t think much about it, at first. The lockers don’t always shut right. I thought that maybe she hadn’t latched it all the way and it had just swung back open by itself. But when I took a closer look I saw that the handle and the place where the lock goes were dented. And the lock was nowhere to be seen. I think someone broke off the lock, and bent the whole mechanism so much that the locker won’t stay shut anymore.
