The Case of the Hosiery Hero: A 15-Minute Brodericks Mystery, Educational Version

“Welcome to our little museum,” they heard a voice say. When their eyes adjusted they saw a man standing in front of them. “I’m Salty Bill and I’ll be your guide today. That will be two dollars each,” he added. “Cash only.”
Their father turned over six dollars and the man quickly stuck it in a cash box under the counter.
Jamie stepped up to look at one of the cases.
“This is strange,” she announced to the others. “Take a look at this!”
Kendall and their father stepped over to look at the case. Inside was a pair of tattered and dirty panty hose, next to a picture of a young woman. There was also a picture of a rope bridge. Several ropes had been slung across a gorge and wooden slats had been tied to form a length that people could walk on.
Find out what the panty hose has to do with the bridge, and whether the story about them is true.

See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do.
