Background Information: At the Central Parkway Branch in the Rare Books Collection, youc an visit "Grip" the Raven. Grip is Charles Dickens' pet raven and it was also a minor character in Dickens' historical novel, Barnaby Rudge, published in weekly installments in 1841. Edgar Allen Poe published his poem "The Raven" in 1845. A widely held belief among Poe scholars is that Poe consciously imitated Dicken's raven.

One day, an employee of the Rare Books department came to work and realized that Grip, the raven was missing, Inside the glass case where Grip used to be, there was a ransom note, which read...
"To the directer of the Libary, I got the bird up in Central Libary. i think its called "grip the raven" by poe. Unless u got $1,000,000 by tuesday, you not gettin' it back. i give u more details l8er 2day.

call the cops n you aint gettin nuttin."
Help us find out how the culprit is. The police have five suspects in custody and we asked them to give us a sample of their handwriting. Can you find who the culprit is by comparing the different handwriting samples with the handwritten ransom note?
