Long Answer

1. Detective Harriman is quick to dismiss Ruby’s theories and does not like the teens interfering in his investigation. This is shown to be justified when their interference leads to the arrest of an innocent man who is simply having a disagreement with his daughter. On the other hand, Harriman’s dismissal and resentment of the amateur detectives almost allows a killer to escape justice, which shows that citizen sleuthing can sometimes be helpful. (Various chapters)

2. The group first meets Becker when they return his notebook to him. All they see is a harmless older man that, to them, looks a little bit like Santa Claus. If they had looked into the notebook, they would have realized that Becker is the complete opposite of what they thought—in fact, he is the serial killer they will spend the novel chasing.
