Las cuatro pistas.
Josefina shows how she pieced it all together.
First, the muddy footprints in the lounge of Rosita's house — they came in from the garden.
Then, the dirty thumbprint on the treasure map — someone with muddy hands had been looking at it.
On Rosita's phone, the Google searches: "local gardeners" and "how to fire a gardener" (Ep 7). She wasn't happy with Anders — and he must have suspected he was about to be replaced.
Anders saw the treasure map and thought it was real. But it was for a pirates project for her primary-school class.
