Detective Logan arrived on the scene of a crime on Halloween night. An old woman, Miss Rita Olig, was laying unconcous on the floor, a Halloween mask on her face, her head surrounded by blood. A plastic bowl lay nearby, the candy strewn everywhere. Another detective went over what they thought happened, ‘she was upstairs when the first trick-or-treaters rang the bell. She put on the mask and grabbed the bowl. She must have slipped on the pearls and tumbled down the stairs. Suddenly, a man who introduced himself as Miss Olig’s nephew and her niece walked in, seemingly unaware of the tragedy. ‘Aunt Rita!’ Bobby, the nephew, gasped. The detective told him ‘Your aunt had an accident. She’s dead. The kids had been coming up to the door for half an hour and getting no answer. One of them finally looked through the window and saw her. ‘Why is she wearing the mask?’ asked Bobby. ‘She promised she wouldn’t do that this year. We were suppose to take her to dinner!’ Emma, the niece added, ‘Well, obviously, she changed her mind. I don’t know how many times I told her not to wear that mask on the stairs.’ Detective Logan asked, ‘When did you last see your aunt?’ Bobby answered, “Er, I came by this morning. My daughter left her jumper here. Aunt Rita made me tea and we talked a bit.’ Detective Logan turned to the other. ‘This was no accident, it was murder.’

It was Bobby - he killed her while they were on the walk and then placed the mask over her face. The telltile sign was when he gasped and said 'Aunt Rita!' - he wouldn't have been able to tell it was her through the mask. Also, where did the pearls come from? If Bobby didn't kill her on the walk, then he planned to kill her by laying the pearls on the stairs. However, I believe that the mask was placed on after the murder, as the victim was intending to go out to dinner.
Or... it was a conspiracy. Emma left her jumper behind, intending her father to pick it up so they could talk, and then kill her. When he didn't he placed the pearls on the stairs so she would trip. He told Emma, who knew that she had fallen on the stairs and been killed.

The niece did it. She said she kept telling her not to wear that mask on the stairs, but they were supposed to take her to dinner, so she shouldn't have been wearing it while Emma was there. Emma must have been there when she was putting the mask on.

The maniac next door did it. He told me not to say anything, but I'm scared he might come for me next.

bobby. he stuttered and said 'er'. one telltale sign. another few is i think looking into the bottom-left corner of you eye, and avoiding eye contact.
