Art theft mystery

The actor Max Nail had a party in his house in Hollywood last night. During the party, someone stole a picture in a large frame, but nobody saw anything. The painting was in a locked room and the door was still locked this morning when Max went to get the painting. He was going to lend it to the Museum for a special exhibition next week.

The painting was on the first floor in room with all locked windows except a small one. Maybe the thief is small person or child who can get through the opened window. There were found small pieces of wood and muddy footprints (shoe size 36) near the window. At the botton of garden the policemans found frame of the painting. Small,
sharp knife was found by dustbit and there were found footprints (shoe size 36 and 44).

Visitors in past week:

-Jake Silverman-art expert, looked at the painting last week and offered Max to buy it
Jake Silverman can’t be the their because if he offer to buy the painting, he may have had money.

-Justina Goodman-cousin and poor relation who asked Max for money
Justina Goodman can have been the thief because she needs money and she can earn them from the painting.

-Frank Constance-neighbour, mid 60s, short and heavy (shoe size 41) Max owes him money
Frank Constance can’t have been thethief because he is fat and he can’t get trough the window

-Dave Thorman-window cleaner and art enthusiast, came with his daughter (14)
Dave Thorman and his daughter may be the thief because the crime was made by two. D. Thorman is haveing the keys of all rooms because he is a window cleaner. Heopened the small window and use his daughter to get in and to stole the painting. The muddy footprints (size 36) must have been hers and the footpints (size 44) must have been her fathers (Dave Thorman). So the thiefs are Dave Thorman and his daughter.
