John killed Mary out of revenge. He is known for lounging around in the nude, and nobody believes he is possible of such nefarious deeds.

This riddle is very hard......
There are three characters here.
Who's Jon? And who's John? What does John have to do with Mary?
John doesn't get into trouble coz he has nothing to do with the killing.
I am no Sherlock, but this seems the most plausible explanation to me.

The recent events suggest the possibility that Jon could be a tidal wave.

I removed your post, since you were worried about it. Since YaBB has no means of determining your registered name is the same person as the guest, you still cannot modify your pre-registration posts.
However, I wouldn't be overly concerned anyway. If you will follow the link in my first post above, you will discover that this is a duplicate puzzle whose solution has been posted before.

John is a baby and Mary is a goldfish?
John is a clumsy nudist and Mary is a goldfish?

You have part of it right. But Jon is probably not a baby, and while Jon never wears clothes, he isn't what you would normally think of as a nudist.

Once upon a time, there lived Jon. Jon is a dog. He knocked over the glass of water with the goldfish, Mary, in it. Then he went to sleep on the couch. The End.
