Case of the Missing Manuscript : Leo Barnes


Name: Leo Barnes

Position at BCU: Senior History Major & Aspiring Academic

Background Information: Leo is the kind of student who lives in the library - literally. He’s always in the same study nook, surrounded by towers of books and coffee cups. Word is, he’s been teetering on the edge of burnout for weeks. His senior thesis on early colonial trade routes is due soon, and rumor has it he’s way behind. He’s been pestering Dr. Sharp for access to rare materials and was seen arguing with Marla near the Archives Case the night before the theft. He says it was about “borrowing a map,” but no one’s sure.

Rumor Mill Says: When your GPA and graduation depend on one document, how far would you go to get it?
