(goes around room with fingerprint kit as crime-drama type music plays)

Hmm...I discovered several latent prints matching Richard's right thumb, index and middle fingers...but they're all on this recently-emptied box of donuts here.

(there is a plaintive, I've-got-a-bellyache whimper coming from the cloud directly above the RHLC)

Richard, drink some lemon-ginger tea. It'll settle your stomach.

Around the cookie storage closet, I found some unidentifiable prints on the detector switches, and on the boxes...no prints, but some strange fuzzy blue fibers and some blunt teeth marks. (whips out camera and photographs them from several angles) Boxes appear to have been torn apart in a frenzy. (scribbles in notebook)

Hmm, so just who is "The Great Cookie Thief"?!

We'll have to do it the way it was done on Sesame Street. Check the above poster and see how it matches the clues.

*Checks the picture, then checks the clues* A-ha!! We may just have a culprit there!

 

[CensoredAlso]

Well it makes sense. Cookie would be drawn to this thread the way we talk about sweets! lol And he's probably feeling neglected ::sniff::

...Oh who are we kidding? He just wants the cookies!

 

[The Count]

Hey! I object to your character coloring of my client. Besides, it's blatently obvious that the perpretator in question has a mustache, a distinguinshing facial feature my client clearly does not share with the wanted suspect.

*Whispers to Cookie, remember not to tip your hat over like last time.
*Both leave RHLC with more clues yet to be found by those meddling kids.

 

[CensoredAlso]

Wait! He don't have no moustache!

 

[Skye]

*Looks over quickly and sees the fuzzy blue face of Cookie underneath the hat* Ed! I do believe that your client is guilty! Silly Cookie and Ed... we knew we'd find them out!

 

[The Count]

Hey, I object to that too! Look at this poster of the perported perpetrator. See, he does indeed have a big black bushy mustache above his lip.
My client and friend, Cookie Monster here, has no such mustache.

So I suggest you do your due diligent detective work and find this slippry suspect before erroneously accusing innocent Cookie Monsters.

Hmm...and now, (straps on jet pack) off to question a witness.

(moments later, on Richard's cloud)

MN: How are you feeling, Richard?
R: (reclining on a sofa with a mug of tea) Still kind of queasy.
MN: Okay, so we'll make this quick. Tell me what you saw.
R: I was in the main room, making a run on that box of chocolate creme-filled donuts.
MN: Good grief...don't they emphasize healthy eating up here?
R: Oh, come on...I'll have you know that St. Peter's really fond of bear claws, Adam's got a weakness for apple turnovers and the Big Man can't start His day without a few cinnamon rolls.
MN: Ah, they say heaven is a sweet place...Anyway, what did you see or hear?
R: I heard the detectors flip off - it was some kind of beeping noise.
MN: And?
R: Well, my stomach really started aching from that last donut, but I saw something huge and furry go running into the closet and start tearing the boxes apart.
MN: Did it make any sound?
R: Lots of gobbling noises...and it sounded like Frank with laryngitis.
