The Mysterious Disappearance of Ebenezer MacMillan

Elgin residents were shocked and saddened to learn of the untimely demise of local photographer, Ebenezer MacMillan. But things took a strange turn when it was revealed that he had collected a whole album of embarrassing photos of locals pulling funny faces, eyes closed, showing their double chins, and more. Local police suspect foul play, especially since MacMillan had threatened to publish some of these photos as part of his latest exhibition, Ugly Elgins. Now, Chief Inspector Cam O'Rare is seeking the help of the public to solve this mystery. Are YOU up for the challenge?
