Detective Wolf and the Flatwoods Fighter

Wolf searched for the culprit. After a few minutes of walking, he realized he never got a good look at them. He began to think of possible identities for the culprit. There was Matthew Flintlock, a civil engineer who stalked Ms Kenwood for a few years prior to her marriage. It very well could have been possible that he viewed Mr Kenwood as competition, and killed him as a result. Flintlock did have Hydrophobia though, which could have worked as a double edged sword. On one hand it made it likely he was not the culprit, on the other, he could have placed the painting there specifically because it was his fear, meaning a normal officer would not suspect him, even with all other evidence pointing to him aside from the painting. There was also
Samuel Jaxson, a thief specializing in "sentimental art" as he often said. The painting possibly had sentimental value, so maybe it was him, though Burglars do things for thrill, and murder, seemed a bit much. Then again. Samuel did seem like the type of person smart enough to steal an item from a locked room. While not fond of thefts like that, he had pulled off some impressive stuff, like stealing a man's golden locket of his dead daughter, replacing it with gold painted iron one, and planting a bug in that fake so that when the man returned home, he would be able to break in and steal a cake his wife made. Sasha Graves was also a possible culprit. She was technically a free woman, in her mid 50's she ran a small art shop just a walk way from the Kenwood household. In her younger years she would scam various men by dating them, getting their credit card information, and then tricking them into touching poison so they'd be absent in the hospital while she splurged with stolen money. She had dated Kenwood in high school, only for him to get entranced by Ms. Kenwood in senior year, which, from the graduation book Wolf found pictures of in her old casefile, which also contained her methods of hiding poisons, it seemed Sasha never truly got over the man, as there were fresh scratch marks over Ms. Kenwood's face The poison aspect really got Wolf thinking. Could it be possible that the painting contained a poison, and Kenwood unknowingly touched it, thinking it was the original, leading to his own death? Certainly that was a possibilty. There was Cherulean Herring, a beatnik with a fine penchant for brutality and narcissism. He had more officer related shootings than the average officer, and a week before the Kenwood family was destroyed, he took some personal leave, but how could he have done it
