Summary

NEW SERIES TIME! In the first episode of our Cryptic series, we have a story so perplexing, Sherlock Holmes himself couldn't have cracked it. Or, could he? Was it actually set up to BE a Sherlock Holmes Story?

Richard Lancelyn Green was the fan of all Sherlock and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans. He was working on writing the most extensive biography on the author, when he was found dead in his home. Initially, it was ruled a suicide, but the closer they looked... it may not have been elementary, my dear Watson.

0:25.4	And this is Lindsay.
0:26.7	And this is Corpusillicti, a new series.
0:29.8	Yes.
0:30.3	So as you have heard us say, this series is dealing with those mysterious cases where there's really not a good answer for.
0:38.9	They're highly debated.
0:41.0	Think of the Blair Adams story we did or Diot Love Pass, that type of thing.

1:09.0	Well, somebody had suggested in the group cryptic cases,
1:13.0	and we were like, oh, we like that, but I don't think we need the word cases, because of course
