The Missing Miner's Treasure - Can YOU Uncover the Lost Fortune?

Back in 1813, Jim Campbell struck it lucky while mining near the town of Bo'ness. His fame and fortune attracted the Campbell clan to settle in the area, but not everyone was happy about their success. Now, over 200 years later, tragedy strikes for one of Jim's descendants. Stuart Campbell has been found lifeless in his home, just hours before he was set to register his own lucky find. The local police suspect foul play and have compiled a list of suspects. Chief Inspector Minnie Rull needs your help, detectives, to conduct inquiries and solve this mystery.
