A MYSTERY WRAPPED IN AN ENIGMA

 “Nearly a week after a man walked into a supermarket in Boulder, Colo., and killed 10 people, investigators say they are still searching to understand a motive.”

---The Weekend Briefing, New York Times, 3/28/21

 

          The killer’s name is Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa.  He and his family emigrated from Syria when he was very young.  Last Monday, a few days before Passover, he drove over 20 miles from his home in Arvada to Boulder, probably passing a dozen supermarkets along the way, to a King Soopers market, located in a largely Jewish area, that bills itself on its website as “Your One-Stop Shop For Kosher Groceries.”

 

          Motive?  Motive?  Motive?  Damn, this is a tough one.

 

          Oh, wait…maybe it’s....  Mr. Sajak!  I want to try to solve the puzzle!

  1. Having driven from Arvada to Boulder myself, any hesitation he may have been feeling likely evaporated as soon as he got on Highway 36.
