The Case of the Missing Cane

How do we know the jeweled cane was hidden in the tailpipe of Masey's car? Recall the ten words the Crime Computer produced from the four-letter codes:

After inputting the four-letter codes and solving the crossword puzzle, the Crime Computer presented teams with 10 words:

read text duck, anus, scone, seal, den, detail, pie, puff, mike, are.

Now read the ten words to yourself out loud more quickly:

read text duck - anus - scone - seal - den - detail - pie - puff - mike - are

You will find that the ten words, when read together, sound like the following sentence:

read text The cane is concealed in the tailpipe of my car.
