Alexander McSouthers is the doorman at Sunset Towers. Most people call him Sandy. He says he has a wife and children but the other heirs never meet them. Sandy is partnered up with Judge Ford and they receive the clues: SKIES AM SHINING BROTHER. They think that the clues spell out the murderer's name. Sandy lists his position as: "doorman" and "fired". He's a stocky middle-aged man with a chipped tooth, blue eyes, and broken, taped glasses. Sandy is actually Sam Westing and he was perfectly paired with Judge Ford because she investigates everyone but her partner: Sandy. When Sandy "dies" in the Westing House, Turtle starts putting the pieces of information together and finds out that Sandy is Sam Westing in disguise. Sandy had a bruise on his shin but Turtle says she never kicked Sandy because they were friends. He said that he didn't know how to play chess but he was the "invisible being" that was playing with Theo. Sandy becomes an old man and Turtle and him are still friends until he dies.
