. We're sorry about the hassle.
Remember that one statement of each person has to be true and one statement has to be false. Look at the statement of Eden : " It was Dabney. It was Aage." If one statement is true, one statement is false then either Dabney or Aage committed the crime. Now look at Babson's statement :" It wasn't Cade. It was Aage. " We know that Cade hasn't done it. So this statement is true. This means the statement " It was Aage ." is false making Dabney the culprit.
