> Detective Larson gazed around the cluttered dingy apartment. The aging

Roger
> had called the police when Max failed to submit his column to the
newspaper.
>
> Max's body was draped over his manual typewriter. The detective
glanced at
> the paper in the typewriter. It appeared to be the writer's column.
The
> victim's head rested on the keyboard and had apparently hit random
keys
> causing the last line of the article to be followed by "49t34 w5qgg3e
j3".
> The detective was surprised to see that Max had used a typewriter
rather
> than a computer.
>
> Roger, Max's agent, explained that Max found it therapeutic to pound
the
> keys on his typewriter, and despised computers.
>
> Out of a list of acquaintances provided by Max's agent, the detective
> questioned the following people.
>
> Marisa had been separated from Max for the last year and a half.
Although
> initially the split had been amicable, lately things had gotten nasty
about
> the latest division of their assets. Max was willing to give Marisa
the
> mansion and a generous lump sum payment, but wanted to draw the line
at the
> excessive alimony being demanded by Marisa's lawyer. Marisa was living
in
> the mansion and had a generous pre-alimony settlement and an extremely
> attractive new boyfriend.
>
> Jillian was Max's current girlfriend. She definitely was a looker and
by all
> appearances was extremely high maintenance. She was also the spring in
this
> May December romance. Although crying, she was devastatingly
attractive in
> her designer dress. She had a Gucci bag, wore emerald and diamond
jewelry
> and on her wrist a new Rolex. The detective suspected her grief was
for the
> loss of her gravy train and not for the deceased.
>
> Max's brother Gerald had been dating Marisa when Max had stepped in
and won
> her heart. Gerald still held a grudge and blatantly told the detective
that
> "he was glad his brother was dead and good riddance". He hinted that
he
> might try to win Marisa back, now that his brother was dead.
>
> After a brief investigation an arrest was made. Who did the detective
> arrest?
