Sydelle Pulaski
Sydelle Pulaski is a secretary who lives in apartment 3C of Sunset Towers. She wants attention from others more than anything. Because she feels that her neighbors don't give her enough attention, she does everything she can to stand out and be noticed. She pretends to have a broken leg and uses crutches even before she hurts her ankle in the second bomb. She paints her crutches purple to match her clothes. She also uses fake eyelashes, overdoes her makeup and pretends to have a "wasting" disease. For her position, Sydelle writes "secretary to the president". Her partner is Angela and their clues are GOOD, GRACE, FROM, HOOD, SPACIOUS. In addition to their own clues, they collect other people's clues that they overhear, making all of their clues be GRAINS, SPACIOUS, GRACE, GOOD, HOOD, WITH, BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIES, FROM, THY, PURPLE, WAVES, ON(NO), MOUNTAIN. At first they have other theories, but then they realize that all of the clues are part of the song "America the Beautiful". They believe that that is the answer. Sydelle Pulaski has absolutely no relationship to Sam Westing. She was a mistake. Barney Northrup rented apartment 3C to the wrong person. She wasn't meant to be one of the heirs either. Sam wanted Sybil Pulaski to be an heir but Otis Amber made a mistake and ended up with Sydelle. Sybil actually used to be Crow's neighbor.
