The Agrawals reported a robbery.

When the detective arrived Mr. Agrawal was waiting outside and he said,

“All the wife’s jewels are missing. You’ll want to check inside for fingerprints.”

Mr. Agrawal pointing to the broken window glasses outside the house told the detective,

“The burglar presumably entered the house by breaking through the window.”

The detective replied, “That won’t be necessary. There’s been no burglary.”

What made the detective so sure?

The glass pieces wouldn't be outside but inside (he has to break the glass inward) if the burglar tried to get into the house. Hence no burglary but a staged robbery.

Detective Brown reviewed the information they had on the case so far. A lady was found shot and they already had a list of suspects - John, Mark, Sarah, Henry, and Carol. Plus, there were five notes that were found that were from the killer.

The first was found in a supply room.
The second was found in an art studio.
The third was in a restroom.
The fourth in an animal shelter, and
The fifth at the harbor.

All of the notes read the same thing, "The clues are where you find the notes." Yet, nothing was found at anyplace the notes were.

Taking one more look at all the clues, Detective Brown immediately solved the case.

Who did it?

As Hamilton looked at the list he mentioned to Theery that, of the first five American Presidents, (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe) three died on July 4th, America's Independence Day. Theery looked at the list and said, "I bet that one of the three was James Monroe." Hamilton was surprised that Theery knew this. Since Theery had no knowledge of how or when James Monroe died.
