Stage Five Spa

Summary
Ms. Valley and Ms. Visco — longtime frenemies — both went to the spa together. When the masseuse returned to the room at 5:05 PM after putting hot rocks on Ms. Valley, he found Ms. Visco had been murdered. You do not have access to the autopsy report.

Solution
Ms. Valley hid a long knife in the rolled up towel at her feet. When the masseuse left, she rolled it up under herself until she could pull out the knife — being careful not to displace the rocks on her back. She had threaded the remote to Ms. Visco's bed through the screen to her side. By raising both their beds using the remotes, and tilting Ms. Visco's bed sideways, she was able to reach Ms. Visco's neck with the knife. She tossed the knife into the vase at the back of the room before resetting the beds to their original position.
