Case of the Unsigned Letter Workshop

At a family reunion, the girls receive a note from a family member stating that they have a special gift for them. However, the relative forgot to sign the letter asking them to stop by and pick up the present. Not wanting to embarrass the gift giver, the girls treat the bedroom as a crime scene, putting their sleuthing abilities to the test. As forensic investigators, they solve the mystery using the clues — ink from the note, soil from a footprint, white powder on desk, and a sticky residue on the paper — and receive a gift. Potential "suspects" are Aunt Io Dine, Aunt Ruth Enium, Uncle Ben Zene, and Uncle Al D. Hyde.
