The Situation

Mr. Fulton never trusted banks. Instead, he kept his money in a safe at home. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he told his son he had saved up one million dollars. He said his son would know where to find the money. However after he passed away from cancer, his son finds the safe empty.

Where is the money?

Clue 2

No secret hiding places were found either.

Clue 3

The only thing of interest he bought before he died was the clothes he wanted to be buried in.

Clue 4

The funeral director said that Mr. Fulton had brought the entire costume to him for safe-keeping a few months after he was diagnosed with cancer.

Clue 7

The funeral director thought the outfit was strange, but he agreed to dress Mr. Fulton in the clothes Mr. Fulton brought him: purple jacket, red shirt, cufflinks with big white jewels, orange tie, yellow pants, and blue shoes until Mr. Fulton died.
