Mystery Clues

In a mystery that starts with an abduction, 
And ends in what might be the perfect crime, 
I noted, with a sigh of resignation, 
How evidence depends on space and time.
There was little that gave telling on the surface.
The more I looked, the less I knew the score;
Just scratches on the Maserati’s fender,
And a young child’s dirty handprint on the door.
