Sam Westing
Sandy McSoulthers is Sam Westing. Sandy McSoulthers is proven to be Sam Westing in pages 136, 150, and 151 which shows how Sam Westing had gotten into a car crash and got plastic surgery on his face, how Sandy was in the only position to monitor, confound, and manipulate J J Ford who has the most authority, and when Sandy died which gave him the perfect chance to clear himself of suspicion.

Theme Song
I chose this for my theme song because it appeals to Sandy having multiple identity's and being rich (since he is Sam Westing).
