1) Dr. Denton Deere told Judge that her partner, Sandy, "sure could have used some [plastic surgery]...", because Sandy had a "battered face: the scars; the bashed-in-nose..." 2) Sandy's behavior during the final meeting in the Westing mansion (towards end of book) was suspicious to Judge, as she ponders why Sandy was purposefully "leading the heirs to Crow." 3) She finally pieces everything together realizing that Sandy was "the one person who could confound her plans, manipulate her moves, keep her from the truth. Her partner, Sandy McSouthers, was the only heir she had not investigated."
Dr. Wexler's connection to Sam Westing in "The Westing Game" is that they were both co-owners of Westing Paper Products. Dr. Wexler was one of the heirs chosen to participate in Sam Westing's game to determine his heir.
In the beginning of the book, they say that Sam Westing's corpse was found. But it was actually a wax dummy molded into Sam Westing's body 15 years ago (in the book). Sam Westing is Sandy mc southers, Julian eastman & barney northrup. sandy mcsouthers fakes his death. turtle wins but never tells anyone.

Berthe Erica Crow was innocent in the Westing Game, because she charged for false murder, being blamed for the death of Samuel W. Westing. Later in the book, Turtle Wexler finds out that Samuel W. Westing was not directly dead as in the sense that the heirs thought. The will of Samuel W. Westing declared that his life was taken by one of the heirs, and that heir was Alexander McSouthers, who was actually Samuel W. Westing. When he became Alexander McSouthers, he stopped becoming Samuel W. Westing, therefore a life was taken. Berthe Erica Crow was therefore, innocent.
Sandy McSouther is the door man at sunset towers who working from 22 years as a door man. Sandy's real name is Alexander. He has broad shoulders and stands with his feet spread. He is also Sam Westing, Barney Northrup etc; etc.He is a door man and claims to have been fired by Westing in the paper mill for something he didn't do. He has a hole between his teeth which allows him to be a very good whistler.Sandy is also Turtle's (Tabitha Ruth/ T.R Wexler) best friend. She would never kick him. Sandy is usually very happy, cheery, and light. He is Judge Josie Jo's partner in the Westing Game.Just to point: Sandy is not a real person. Though he is Windy, Julian, Sam, and Barney, only one is real. That one is Windy Windkloppel. How is this inferred?: In earlier chapters, Grace Windsor [Later changed from Windkloppel] Wexler said she was the only true heir to the Westing Mansion, she was related to Westing. But, her maiden name is Winsor, not Westing.So, Windkloppel was the only real person out of the following: McSouthers, Northrup, Westing, and Eastman. (Please note: North, South, East, West.)
In the third part of Westing's will it says the heir who wins the windfall will be the one who finds the fourth and 4 character's names are Barney NORTHrup, Sandy McSOUTHers, Julian EASTman, and Samuel WESTing. So, Turtle realizes that Westing was all of this people is disguise. Later, Samuel Westing dies of old age.
