Salt/Slugs Idea...perhaps farfetched

[Clueless in SA]

In Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, were slugs one of the bugs you collect for Emily? They would eventually be killed and used for bait.

By the way, I think (could be wrong) Fatima is a girl. Men's voices are usually a little lower than that by the time they're the age to run a store.

I can't remember but didn't it have a beard?

I think so, but didn't Nancy say it was a costume?

After searching around, it sounds like it's a girl, but I'm still not sure.

Don't think we'll ever know.

Congrats, *Nancy Star*!

I think it might be Tino... he didn't know slugs could be used, so he gave them to Nancy to "wear around your neck or something."

Thanks. I'm thinking it's Tino too. He didn't understand that slugs would help. IDK, that's the best I've (well, actually you came up with it lol) got.

I'm pretty sure that Fatima is a girl. The thing that she was searing was a costume, she said so herself. Her voice also sounded like a girl's, and Fatima is a girl's name. She also said "Do I look like a 'Buell' to you?" and Nancy replies "Sorry, the costume kind of threw me off". I believe that Fatima was trying to say that she was not a boy, despite her costume.

Fatima indicated, directly or indirectly, that she's wearing the Buell costume; the original Buell is long gone, so the costume is needed to perpetuate that old miner image. I am assuming Fatima is female, and her remark about the costume and Buell also refers to gender.

Congrats *Nancy_Star*. Nice sleuthing. I think the person is either Tino (cuz he had a slug) or Fatims (salt water taffy).

About Fatima ...

Does anyone remember who did her voice. Was Fatima's voice done by a girl or a guy, I think that would be the easiest way to figure it out.

I think it is Tino B.
Because *spoiler removed*, and Fatima still has the store to run. Fatima doesn't seem likely to end up in a Canadan ski lodge for a vacation ... I picture her at Disney Land with a Goofy hat on and a big sippy drink saddled down with gift bags and an "I went to Disney Land" t-shirt.

The person who didn't know that a little salt would do the trick is the cryptkeeper, because he hired a locksmith instead of being clever like Nancy and using saltwater taffy on a stick to get the missing key.

My thoughts exactly.
My guess is that the character is the cryptkeeper. He had a fanastic voice and it would be great to see a face put with that voice.

He could have switched jobs and now he's working at the lodge or as a wilderness ranger in the "dead" of winter.

Good posts, everybody!

Wait a second. Didn't the people on the blog say that Nancy Star was right when she was talking about "Killing the slugs"? If so, than maybe it isn't the crypt keeper--why would he want to get rid of the slugs?

My reasoning is that HI set up the salt clue to get us clued in to the word "slug". I don't think the 'killing' part is the part to focus on.
Once we know the word "slug", this leads us to the game TRN.
And the person who didn't know a little salt would solve the problem, I believe, is the cryptkeeper.

This is how I think HI's "train" of thought went for this clue.

Oh I think I know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The person must be Bess! Remember she said:

Slugs!?! Ewwww!

So the salt killing the slugs is somthing she would most likly do! I love Bess.

Amy Broomhall was the voice actor for Fatima, she was also JJ Ling in DAN and the waitress in TRN. I thought that was interesting.

Wow, she sure can change her accent!
