Detective Porroby

I live in Mysteryville.

I bought some souvenir dummies from Detective Noman, who had left the competition, just to see what it would be like to be in the contest.

I was investigating Ms. Wreck and Ms. Taffy — they were having an affair.

Solution
Mr. Wreck hired Detective Porroby to investigate his wife for infidelity. While on the lookout, Detective Porroby witnessed Ms. Taffy kill Ms. Wreck — and hit her with her car to prevent her escape. But Ms. Taffy told him that Ms. Wreck’s death was not her fault, and that she thought she was being framed somehow. To protect her, they disguised the death as a car accident. But Mr. Wreck ended up being the one to discover the body. He dumped Ms. Wreck’s body into the sewer, and replaced it with a dummy to cover up the dangerous effects of the experimental drug he was using on Ms. Wreck to cure her lung cancer. To keep it from seeming overly strange, he placed dummies all around the neighborhood. He stole the dummies from Detective Porroby’s house, who had bought them from a Detective named Noman.
