The victims were found in the house by the neighbours. Mademoiselle Camille was found inside the chimney with deep cuts on the face, and around her neck there were dark bruises and the marks of fingers. Madame L'Espanaye was found in the small yard at the back of the house. Her neck was deeply cut, and when they tried to lift her, the head fell out. There were terrible bruises all over her body too. This may have been the worst murder ever.

At last we have the answer to the brutal rue Morgue Murders. The two womwn were killed by an ourang-outang from a sailor.

What happened is: one sailor one day , went to East Indies and there he found the animal so then he thought : "I can sell him for for a good price"

The Sailor took the animal and came back to Paris. The animal stayed at his house.

One night he was out late with his friends and when he got back he found the ourang-outang in his bedroom (obs: the ourang-outang was in a cage), he didn't know what to do because the animal was dangerous and unfortunately he got a rayor in his hands. The sailor got a whip but then the ourang-outang ran out of the room down the stairs and jumped through an open window into the street. The sailor was really afraid at that moment.

How could he catch it? The animal ran and the sailor followed it luckily the streets were quiet because it was 3 o clock in the morning.

Then they were going down Rue Morgue. The animal saw a light in a window on the fourth floor. Before the sailor could do something the ourang-outang climbed the lighting rod, took hold of the latticed shuter, and swung it self so he sould catch the animal. Well, the sailor did the same of the animal but he couldn't get across the window. So he heard horrible screamings and he said he would never forget the things he had seen that day. The animal took Madame L' Espanay by the hair.

The daughter fainted at once and at the same the old lady tried to get away. But the animal pulled out handfuls of her hair. She screamed and this made the animal very angry and with the razor he cut her head off. The animal ran to the girl's body and put his big hands around her neck. He looked at the sailor and it take the whip so he escaped and the sailor tried to hide the bodies, one in the chimmey and the other in the backyard.

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by a terrible orang-outang, the women were in a bulding on the fourth floor, when the orang-outang entered through the window, and with a razor killed the two women. The neighbours could hear two angry voices at the top of the house. They told the police about the voices, one of them was French and the other they couldn't hear very well.

When they got into the rooms, they saw everything disorganized and the ladies dead.

Dupin was the man who discovered the murder with his friend. He got into the house and investigated the crime. Then Dupin found with a French man who was the owner of the orang-outang, and went to the house of this men to intorrogate him.

So the crime was solved, and the orang-outang was sold for a lot of money, and the owner of it didn't go to jail.

JACK KILLS FOR LOVE

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by Jack, the Ripper. He tried to climb the lightning -rod on the wall, but he fell, and that made him angrier. He circled the house and saw the door. It was a beautiful door from the 19th century made of crystal. When Jack saw it, he had no doubts, he ran towards the door and broke the crystal. He jumped into the house, ripping his stomach with an edge of crystal.
Once in the house, he ran directly to the fourth floor, where the two women were.His blood was over the floor and the stairs.
When he got on the fourth floor he saw Madame L'Espanaye. He didn't think twice, he took off the edge of crystal that was inside wis stomach and cut Madame's neck off. Madame shouted and screamed for her life, but it was worthless. Mademmouselle L'Espanaye heard her mother and ran to her. She started crying desperately and saw Jack. At the time he looked at her, he fell in love,but Mademmouselle was staring terrified at him. He went to her direction and brutaly kissed her. He couldn't do anything because of the shock. When she got to herself, she started hitting him and tried to get out of his hands.He got even angrier and started to hang her while he was kissing her.
He couldn't feel her breath anymore, she was dead.He got mad at himself, so, he layed her in her bed gently and got out the house through the window, after throwing Madame's body in the backyard. He escaped and ran without a place to go through the streets of Paris.
After a few minutes he died because of a lethal hemorrhage. He was found in a few blocks from the L'Espanaye's house, with a handfulls of Madammouselle's hair in his hand.

2007-08-09T12:29:00.001-03:00

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by an orang-outang. All of this happened when a sailor caught an orang-outang and brought it to France. He kept it hidden, because he thought about selling it for money. Unfortunately the animal had escaped carring a razor in its hands. The sailor followed the orang-outang who went to Madame and Miss L'Espanaye house, and killed them. It wasn't the sailors fault: the orang-outang was the murderer.

The animal was caught again by the sailor and it was sold for a lot of money. The man who was unfairly arrested was now a free man. The police didn't believe in the orang-outang story but they couldan't do anything because all clues pointed to the orang-outang. And the one who solved this mystery was Mr. Auguste Dupin.

This is the true story about the murders in the Rue Morgue.

2007-08-09T12:29:00.000-03:00

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by an orang-outang.

Everything started when a sailor, that came from the East Indias brought, by a strange reason, a wild orang-outang. His idea was to sell that giant monster for a hot price, but, unfortunately, he couldn`t keep it inside his house and that terrible thing escaped. But, the problem is how it escaped: one day, when the sailor arrived home later, he saw the orang-outang with a razor on its hands, out of his jail and when it saw the whip on the sailor`s hand, it remembered the old times in the ship and, by an obvious reason, that thing ran away.

Scared because of the noisy city, the orang-outang tried to find a quiet place, because of a very strange coincidence, it saw Madame L`Espanaye`s house. The sailor, that was watching everything, told us that the orang-outang climbed up the lightning rod and then swung on the shutter through the opened window. When it saw the two women, the thing gto really scared and, unfortunately, killed them and escaped very quickly.

Finally the police has the right answer for the mystery in the Rue Morgue, we decided to publish the last one version about the mystery.

In fact, the police arrested the wrong person. Nevertheless, the murderer isn't a person, the murderer is an animal. To tell you the truth, the animal isn't a normal animal. He is bigger than the other animals. He is the Orange - Outang. Now you want to know how the murderer entered the room. But first we are going to tell you how the murderer came to the city.

The sailor brought the Orange - Outang when he was in Borneo, and came back to Paris to sell the animal. But the animal escaped from the sailor's house and went to the Rue Morgue. The sailor followed the Orange - Outang. The animal climbed the wall and entered the room. Then he killed Madame L'Espanaye and her daugther.

This is the real story about the cold case that happened in the Rue Morgue.

The murders in the Rue Morgue - daniel-fernando

2007-08-06T09:42:00.003-03:00

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by a very big, agile and strong ourang - outang.

He came from Borneo on a boat with a sailor. In Paris he escaped and started to run in the streets.

Mr.Dupin and his friend had discovered the mystery with many clues. First they discovered that the murderer got into and out of the house through a window.

Second, they discovered that the murderer got into the house climbing the lightning rod (in the outside of the building).

So the murders happened this way: the murderer had climbed the lightning rod, entered the house through the window, killed the mother with a razor and the daughter was hung. Later he put her inside the chimney.

And after this, he ran out of the house.

And in the end the sailor sold the animal.

Finally Resolved

At last we have the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by an Orang-Outang, that at 2:00 o´clock had escaped from his owner , who is innocent. His owner is a sailor that had captured the Orang-Outang in the east of India. His owner used a whip to calm the Orang-Outang, but this time he couldn´t calm him. He escaped at 2:00 o´clock and all the windows in the apartment had no light, except for one that was in the Rue Morgue, on the 4th floor of a building. The animal climbed up the lightning-rod on the wall outside, and took hold of the open shutter with both hands. Then, pushed his fit against the wall and swung himself into the room through the open window. He went out the same way, and the window dropped down behind him. Later he was caught in the Bois de Boulogne. The sailor sold the animal and is very happy because he helped Adolphe Le Bon to get out of the jail.

Detective Dupin solved the case last night. The murderer was an orang-outang.

He entered the building using a lightning-rod, he climbed it and pushed the window until it opened. The shutter was open.

He used a razor to kill Madame L´Epanaye and killed her daughter with his his hands and threw her in the chimney and threw Madame in the garden.

The monster belongs to a sailor who kept the orango-outang in his house but he escaped.

To go out of the building he jumped of the street. In the street the sailor saw the huge animal and ran after him.

"The evidences on the bodies were huge and weren´t made buy a human hand"-Says Dupin

The owner of the animal was the sailor who sold him for a lot of money

The Murders in the Rue Morgue- Fábio e Thomas

2007-08-06T09:36:00.001-03:00

Paris, 1839. Two terrible murders shocked the city. Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter were killed in their apartment in the Rue Morgue. Mademoiselle L'Espanaye was found dead in the chimmney and her mother was in the yard with all the bones broken. In front of the fireplace was a razor with blood on it, and some grey hair.

Some neighbor invaded the house because they heard the screams in the house. Before entering, they heard an argument between a French person and another voice that they didn't know the language.

On the daughter's neck there was a bruise and some orange hair was found in Madame L'Espanaye's hand.

After that crime, Adolphe Le bon, a bank clerk, was arrested because the police thought that he killed the woman to take their gold.

August Dupin, a neighbor entered the crime scene and found the bruise, the orange hair and discovered that the window was broken so he concluded that the murderer entered and went out through the window.

Dupin discovered that the bruise on the neck of the daughter was not human and because of the orange hair, he knew that the murderer was an orang-outang. He saw a newspaper article about an orang-outang who escaped from his owner. After that Dupin searched for the orang-outang's owner, who was a sailor that caught the animal in Borneo and brought it to France. In the end the sailor caught the monkey and sold it for a lot of money.

We have three wishes for the monkey's paw. The first wish is to be intelligent because we want to pass in all tests. The second wish is to meet our keypals, because they are our friends. They are important for all of us and we like them. The third wish is to drive, because we want freedom, we want to go to all places without our parents.

Our first wish is to dominate the world, because then we can get all the girls that we want and all the things we want, like nice cars and mansions. If we dominate the world we would wish for peace on Earth. Our third and last wish is the end of global warning.

We want one more thing, but we don´t have any more wishes. We need to fight against social difference in the world, and persevering we will win this fight which we consider to be the most important one.

At last we had the answer to the brutal Rue Morgue murders. The two women were killed by a really bad animal, an orang-outang. It was bought in Borneo in East Indies by a sailor. The animal escaped and went to the streets.
The orang-outang climbed up a house and swung into the fourth floor. There it met Madame L'Espaneye and her daughter. The two women shouted a lot, what made the animal very angry. It broke all the chairs and the table and also killed the two women. One woman was pushed up the chimney and the other was killed in a bad way too.
This murder was terrible, but the mystery was finally solved.

The orang-outang was sold for a lot of money.
Adolphe Le Bon, an innocent man who was arrested, is free now.

And the sailor, the animal's owner, is free too. But...who is responsible for this terrible crime?

We don't know. Do you?

The Brutal Murder

In the big city of Paris, a brutal crime was comitted. The police ended up by arresting the bank clerk Adolphe Le Bon, who looked guilty at first. On the other hand, detective August Dupin discovered that the killer, in fact, was an ourang-outang that came from the Island of Borneo.

Dupin knew that the ourang-outang had comitted the crime because the animal left some fur in the room and also because of the marks on both Madame Le'Espanaye and her daughter's bodies. He discovered this by reading a book about ourang-outangs.

The detective concluded that the animal climbed up the lightining-rod that was outside the house. The ourang-outang held the open shutters.The animal swung into the room trought the open window by pushing both feet against the wall. The animal used the same way out , but the window dropped down behind him when he left the room. This is why it was so difficult to solve the mystery.

The ourang-outang was caught in the city park Bois de Boulogne. This animal is strong, agile and very dangerous. His owner, a sailor, is planing to sell it as soon as possible.
