New Clues Bring an Expectant Public Closer to a Killer -- and a $5,000 Reward -- in SouthPeak's "The Light Files"

Cary, NC, September 1, 1997 - A broken revolver silencer, a lying witness, and a curious memory lapse from someone who is known for his meticulous attention to detail. These three clues will bring mystery fans closer to solving the murder of fictional daytime soap opera star Karla Masefield in SouthPeak Interactive's on-line mystery The Light Files: Death in Broad Daylight.

SouthPeak Interactive posted this new evidence today that could lead one amateur sleuth to a hefty $5,000 grand prize for solving the mystery at https://www.lightfiles.com.

"The cops are giving me funny looks and want me to take a lie detector test," shuddered SouthPeak President Armistead Sapp. "Someone better come up with the real killer - and fast - before it's me who ends up behind bars!"

In The Light Files: Death in Broad Daylight, players must review police interviews, photos of evidence and crime scenes, witness statements, newspaper clippings, suspect and witness profiles, soap opera scripts and other evidence that leads to the identity of Masefield's killer. Entries must be submitted before the deadline of October 31, 1997 to be eligible for the $5,000 grand prize.

The Light Files: Death in Broad Daylight was written by Lee Sheldon, SouthPeak's Senior Game Writer/Designer. Sheldon is a two-time Edgar Award nominee for mystery writing and Writers Guild of America nominee for outstanding achievement in television writing.

Sheldon wrote and co-designed the critically acclaimed CD-ROM game, The Riddle of Master Lu and wrote the final script for SouthPeak's first Video Reality(tm) title, Temujin(tm).
