Sam is their uncle and great uncle, respectively. Berthe Erica Crow was Sam Westing's former wife. Alexander "Sandy" McSouthers and Sam Westing are both one in the same person. All other heirs have no biological relationship with Sam Westing at all, but merely had touched Sam Westing's life in the past directly and/or indirectly one way or another.

The westing game is a captivating mystery that leads the players on "a wild goose chase". Each and everyone of the westing heirs are accused but, No one killed Sam westing. It was all a hoax.
