The team did further investigating and learned that the victim had arrived home from a trip to Boston the day of her murder. They located a woman, Nicole Morris, who met with the victim right before her trip to Boston. Per Nicole, Shana was in Boston to visit Radnor University but she also was inquiring about laws in Massachusetts that punished murder.

Answer: The victim's ex-boyfriend

Castle and Kate were at their apartment one night when they started to discuss what they each knew about the case. Castle said that, per his independent investigation, Shana had a boyfriend fifteen years prior by the name of Jeff Whalen. Jeff died after falling out a window at Radnor University in Boston but Castle said Shana was likely searching records since she suspected there was foul play in Jeff's death.

Answer: The New York Ledger

Shana realized that a newspaper writer named Frank Jackson published an article in the newspaper at Radnor University that had to do with Jeff Whalen's death. She realized that Frank had become a reporter at "The New York Ledger". Per phone records, Shana contacted Frank at "The New York Ledger" to learn more about Jeff's death.

Answer: Cigarette butt

The team figured the best way to track the killer would be to get a DNA test done on the cigarette butt that was at the crime scene. There was suspicion that Spalding Elliot killed Shana Baker since Shana saw him an hour before her death. Spalding threw away a cup of coffee one day so Javier and Kevin grabbed it and tested Spalding's DNA on it from the cigarette butt.
