Crumpled paper

[Skelly]

So i've got the crumpled paper from a murder that says "lets play" and the letters "RARSHAI"
I am familiar with the first letter corresponding to the first name but the rest of the letters add up to 6 as a surname, yet all the names I've looked through don't come close to my findings? Is this a bug?

it's an anagram

I Know it's an anagram but the letters dont make up any surname I see in the Directory

[Mandragore]

It should though. Just remember than one of the letters is the first name's initials.

I just read again, i don't think the first letter of the anagram has to be the initial of the first name. they can be in any order

You have pretty much cracked it. You just need to take what you've learned and take it up with the city directory for some cross-examination.

Search every surname that starts with a letter corresponding to that anagram. I would recommend doing one surname letter at a time to keep things orderly.

You also have duplicate As so you that only leaves you with five letters to sift through. It is really easy to spot the vast majority of mismatches at a glace so you can actually skim through all of it in just a minute or two.

Edit: I don't know if the first letter has to be the first initial either, but it was when I saw it. The killer also painted their victims anagram on the wall which also had the correct first initial. In any case, you will be searching the R surnames anyway if you follow my methodology. Just don't rule out the possibility that the surname might have two Rs.

Oh I was not familiar with the use of an extra letter in the surname, that actually boils down to one suspect now, thanks

the person can be homeless as well, so they wont show up in the address book.
