Joe Baldo, the host of KILL's popular "Eighties Retro Hour," has been found murdered in his booth. Can you fit the facts together to catch the killer?

Please enter your answers in lower-case text and include spaces and punctuation.

  1. The murder weapon was found next to Baldo's body. It was the same as the one mentioned in the Bangles' cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter." What was the murder weapon?

  2. After interviewing all the suspects, Detective Tinear has determined that the killer is from the same state as the town where somebody left his wallet in a song by A Tribe Called Quest. What state is the killer from?

  3. Before he died, Joe tried to write the killer's name, but was only able to write down the first letter, which is the same as the first letter of the first word of the title of Corey Hart's one hit song. What is the killer's first initial?

  4. The killer accidentally left behind his or her business card, but the card only has a last name: it's the same as the "true identity" that was revealed at the end of the Styx song "Mr. Roboto." What is the killer's last name?

  5. There is a song from the John Cougar album American Fool that has the same title as a song from the David Bowie album Let's Dance. Detective Tinear has discovered that the gender of the killer is the same as the gender of the title characters in these two songs. Is the killer a man or a woman?

The suspects:
Scott, the morning DJ, who has an extensive knife collection
Spinner Modernman, the nighttime DJ
Jane Modernman, Spinner's sister
Mr. Killroy, the general manager
Simone Killroy, his daughter
John, the security guard, whose gun was missing after the murder
Jenny, the intern from Los Angeles
The cleaning lady, who was born in Omaha

Whodunit?
