What is there to do in Brooklyn on a Friday night ? That's right discover the identity of a bank robber, the answer was obvious !
We still don't know 100% what went on during the night, but thanks to one excellent twitter and Alcatraz fan, we know a lot more than we might have done.
A huge thanks to
@WildeKitchen for all the information and pictures.
Thanks also to
@SkyLightNYC and of course
@AlcatrazLegends for tweeting information and pictures.
Earlier in the day I had searched for potential people that might be attending but by searching I found out a lot more about Brooklyn than I did about Alcatraz. Mainly that it is mandatory for someone to tweet a picture of the Brooklyn bridge or mention "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" at least once every 10 minutes.
Serious point though, I really could't find anyone to follow, apart from people setting up the event, up until a few minutes before the event started. There were lots of late tweets sent out telling people about the event, but to honest I think that it was far too late to attract people to attend.

| Reading the case file - @WildeKitchen |
Anyway people did start to arrive at the bank and we had information about what was happening so I will try and describe what we know.
There has been a robbery or "A Heist" to put it in 1960's terms. The crime scene has been prepared ready for investigation. It is your task to solve the crime.
From what we can see this involved examining the evidence as displayed and completing paper reports with the answers to the various questions. A police report stated that shots were fired and upon police attendance two dead bodies were found at the scene. A large amount of cash was missing and Jasper LeForte was arrested, but claims he is innocent.
As with the previous event on Alcatraz, completing one investigating form allowed the "investigator" to move on to the next section of evidence.
Again in a similar vein to the previous event there was an interactive element where one of the suspects had to be interviewed to determine some evidence about them.

There was even a gettaway car to examine, A Ford Mustang, of course !
So after all the investigations where did that leave us ? A final report was handed out to those that had completed their investigations and that had some interesting information.
Gerald Mulhaney, a security guard at the bank, was arrested as a prime suspect due to his fingerprints being at the scene. He maintained his innocence and that the two dead men, Fredriq Blanc and Zeke Creitzer, were the bank robbers.
In the bank managers office a false wall was found that concealed the rest of money and a gun.
It looks like the fingerprints on the gun, which was used to shoot the men, were from the Bank Manager (name unknown but see below). Due to the evidence found Mulhaney was exhonerated of the crime.

| Report - @WildeKitchen |
On the final report there is one more thing, a scribbled note from Doc Soto with a phone number. When called there is a voice mail message from Soto -
"Good news bad news time.
The good news, you solved the crime and identified Landenberg as the true robber slash murderer.
The bad news he just took off. Yeah, so you gotta track him down.
The trail is heating up on LegendsOfAlcatraz.com."
Thanks to
ObFuSc8 for the transcription.
So the we are assuming the bank manager is "Landenberg" and that he is the target of the next phase of
Legends of Alcatraz, which starts on Monday.

| There's More - @AlcartazLegends |
That leaves us with a few unanswered questions -
- Who is Landenberg and what has he got to do with Alcatraz
- Where is Percival Stenardson ?
- What happened to Jasper, mentioned in the original crime report.
Your thoughts and theories on this event and the information, as always, are welcome in the comments section.
More pictures from the evening -
The legends of Alcatraz website was updated to coincide with the new episode of Alcatraz shown last night.
There are two video introductions from Doc Soto to tell us what we need to do and 5 new puzzles to solve.
If Walls Talked (Easy)
Map The Escape (Easy)
Keeping Score (Medium)
Chewed Up(Medium)
Harvest Time (Hard)
The clue is in the title of this puzzle, look for the missing domino
Then think of the year that Percy escaped.
