I made a themed Connections puzzle. Hard? Easy? All I know is that it might be haunted by a g-g-g-g-g-g-ghost!

@jsnell When my wife and mine were in our true crime phase, we developed the saying β€œScott did it” for whenever we thought the guilty party was the victim’s husband/boyfriend.

Sadly, but reasonably, this in-joke proved unhelpful in solving your puzzle.

@jackwellborn Scott murdered Parmesan?
