Yes, each of you had a motive for kidnapping Sam, and each of you had ample opportunity. Dave, you stand to gain the most -- complete control of Rinkworks -- but before you could grab him, he was kidnapped by another, here in this very forum. With Sam out of the way, there would be nobody stopping you from becoming Supreme Dictator, would there... Stephen? That would explain the candlestick we found in the Conservatory, but Issachar was holding the Stephen card, so we can rule you out. However, where was famous in all of this? Working on a web page, she said -- or really out to kidnap Sam? As it turns out, she was working on her web page, so she's out too.

However, someone named Katoo I -- a pseudonym -- took credit for kidnapping Sam. But who was this "Katoo I" really? The clues were there: many British spellings, gross usage of ellipsis, an odd fascination with traffic circles, nary a Flemish expression, and (perhaps the most damning bit of evidence of all) the first respondent to the S.A.M. post said that it wasn't him. Twice. The kidnapping note came from "Aliens" and in the message thread "Earth Calling Dave Parker", this person replied with his name spelled BACKWARDS! Surely, the subconsciousness of the villian coming to light, spelling his name backwards to give us a hint that the "evil" version has taken over.

Yes, ignore the fact that Katoo I's IP address and Jommeke's IP address are almost the same -- a clever bit of misdirection by our criminal mastermind. Yes! You'd have to ignore all the evidence that would generate any logical conclusion. The culprit, nay, the Fiend, is our very own Darien!

Either that or Sam was on a vaction.
