Sheppard proved to be an Objectivist. Inspector Raglan, Mr. Poirot, and Dr. Sheppard all knew the absolute truth. He never doubted he was the killer, he only attempted to cover his clues, and tracks by accusing Ralph Paton. He accused his old shoes and put them on to create footprints on Roger’s porch. He did an excellent job in hiding Ralph Paton and making his disappearance, the talk of everyday. Knowing Dr. Sheppard is a doctor, he placed Ralph in a nursing home, until Mr. Poirot found him. Mr. Poirot was a clever detective for being retired. He revealed the truth to everyone except Caroline. He knew Caroline would never find out what he did. “Well, she will never know the truth. I can trust Poirot.”
