Well, Focal Point, if your universe is anything like a few certain universes we know of, then one pony does come to mind. Though, I don't know if they're really your culprit. If they are, then you have to be careful as they are completely dangerous, but if they're not, then that's good.

"like..multiple?!?!"

A curved horn? Isn't that a sign of evil?

"HEY! curved horns are just a natural subtype of horns! Mistmane has a curved horn and is the most generous pony out there. Discrimination isnt cool, what the celestia dude!?"

What if you wore the alicorn amulet?

"honestly I don't think I ever gave it much thought, though it would be waaaay easier to solve this case with magic AND the ability to fly."

So figured I'd draw out not just the big three but also the other half of the main six in my alt universe. I did in fact use an MLP base it was one of those screenshot ones on DA so I won't take credit for that part just the designs, color and alt timeline.

Currently all over the place with work and preparing to get married and my reception. I'm gonna try and finish some more questions I'm currently working on two of them and should be out soon. Better in threes is on hold for a bit until I get a new keyboard or figure out how to fix mine. But yah thanks for being patient guys and I hope your looking forward to more stuff In the future. I might post a piece of focal in a wedding dress just as a fun little celebration so there's that.

Hydrogen Peroxide, eh? Bleaching bones seems like it'd take quite a bit. Might not hurt to take a look around Ponyville General to see if any has been stolen, or Rich's Barnyard Bargains to ask if anypony has bought any in bulk.

"they also noted that usually it was a different pony, which does help even if it doesn't point to anyone. Apparently the last thief wasn't seen since, I wonder if all of them disappeared too? Maybe sent to do dirty work before they were killed. Scary stuff"

First things first -gives u a milkshake- gotta stick to my branding here, secondly, does this case ever just stress you out? Whether i be because of lack of evidence, people related to suspects or victims that go nowhere in the end?

"oh wow, Thanks!!! But yeah it can be really stressful, all of the above to be honest. It's hard dealing with all the stressed out ponies, the leads that get me no where. Definition of insanity I tell yah, but it's all worth it knowing ponies are hoping for my success. I've tried to contact princess twilight but she's so busy nowadays it's hard to ask such of her. Atleast having you ponies outside eyes could help me out a lot!"

"oh celestia, this.. its a ponies cutie mark. Omg i think its Button lace's cutie mark! thats..thats the first pony, the first one we lost. Theres no way they didnt drop this off, my home isnt that far from hay's hardware. This is horrific, im gonna get this tested imminently. Maybe the way it was preserved for 5 years will help us catch the big three"

Do you need a partner in crime to help you solve the murders or do you already have one?

"Actually I do sorta have one! he's uh not actually a detective though just a good friend who knows his way around tech more then I do. Cant lie to you, the PVPD doesn't have a ton of funds so we don't have much tech. But yeah anytime I need help looking up something or a lil bit of hacking he helps me out! Oh and sorry he wont be taking asks but now you know I got some backup in my corner!"

[better-in-threes]

I see you know alot about this case, but does that mean you have any ideas on who could be causing these murders? Like, any hypothesis'?

"Well I might not have much evidence but some weird things have happened in ponyville since rarity, rainbow and pinkie split off from princess twilight, fluttershy and apple jack. I suspect that they know what's going on or they're the culprits. sadly i cant investigate properly unless i have a warrant which i dont have enough proof to gain. Its why im here, to hopefully gain enough information to catch them or even get a bit closer to the truth"

"Arent you adorable? please be careful, i dont wanna loose any sweethearts like you!"

[better-in-threes]

I've noticed a couple of things, i checked out the bodies, pretty gruesome sight to be honest..but i realised something, on one of the corpses there was a necklace. The necklace didnt seem all too important at the start until i saw it had an engraving on it, it was in some foreign text so i couldnt understand it however, but it was a good find nonetheless!

"Hey, I think this is pony latin! I cant read much myself but i think it might be dropped by the killers. I think im gonna hang onto it, got a friend outside the department who i think can help me out."

"Though please do be careful, we dont need anymore bones added to the pile"
