Who Killed Jason Blossom?


Jughead's Investigative Notes

Victim (s?) Jason Blossom


Witnesses:

Cheryl Blossom - Sister of the victim she is the last person to see Jason alive.  They were at the Lake together.  Initially, Cheryl claimed that her brother fell into the lake retrieving one of her gloves.  When Jason's body was found with a bullet wound to his head, Cheryl was arrested and interrogated.  She admitted to having lied about Jason falling into the Lake.  Instead she claims that Jason wanted to flee Riverdale and hoped if he faked his death that his parents would not chase him.  Cheryl was to cover for him by saying he fell into the Lake.  Cheryl claimed to have expected Jason to call her or email to tell her he was ok.  This never happened though.  She claims not to know why her brother wanted to skip town.


Archie Andrews - Was having a "romantic" picnic with Miss Grundy.  Their "meal" was broken up by a gun shot at the lake.  Archie initially hid that he had been at the lake to protect Miss Grundy but after the body of Jason Blossom was found he came forward.


Miss Grundy - Was having a romantic picnic with her student Archie Andrews.  She has still not come forward to police in fear of authorities finding out about her inappropriate relationship.  Could she be hiding more?


Cubscout Leader -  A cubscout troop was at the Lake the day that Jason Blossom went missing.  Though the leader has denied any involvement in the gunshot. one of his scouts admitted that he was instructing the troop on how to fire a gun.  The gunshot that Archie heard was likely that of the Cubscout Leader.



Suspects

Cheryl Blossom - Was the last person to have seen Jason alive.  Her initial story was also a lie.  However, I don't understand what motive she had to kill her brother.

Cubscout Leader-  His troop likely would have seen him if he had done anything wrong however he is the only person known to have fired a gun near where Jason was killed.  Jason was killed by a gun.  He does not seem to have any motive.


Polly Cooper

Polly Cooper had slept with Jason Blossom who put her on a football scoreboard that awarded points for different female conquests.  Polly has not been home and reportedly getting help according to her mother after an undisclosed trauma.  She would have the motive of revenge in the death of Jason Blossom.
