Crime Scene Investigators Story

After analysis of the evidence we were able to map out the story.

Ginger Snap use to work with Candi Stores as an adult entertainer and decided she wanted something more in life and became a bartender at a local popular club. Ginger and Candi use to do drugs but Ginger went to rehab and got clean as a requirement to work at the club. Three days before the murder Candi called Ginger and asked for money to buy some drugs. Ginger agreed to give a gold necklace the next night if she came to the club. The following night, the night before the murder, Candi came to the bar and bought a drink but managed to sprinkle in some cocaine before Ginger returned to give her the necklace. When Ginger returned she handed Candi the necklace. Candi left soon after that. But Ginger had a feeling that the trade wouldn't go well knowing that the necklace was fake, and wrote a note that said "Please help me" so that if anything happened there would be justice. The next night, the night of the murder, Candi returned to confront Ginger and tell her that the necklace was fake but found out that Ginger was closing and decided to wait, but came early to hang out getting another drink and sprinkling in cocaine. The cup had left both Candi and Ginger's finger prints. When Ginger closed Candi walked her to the car and they got into a large argument about the necklace, always keeping a knife in her pocket for protection she pulled it out in the heat of the moment and slit Ginger's neck. Looking for anything that could support buying more drugs Candi looked through Ginger's purse. When she did she found the note that Ginger had written the previous night and ripped it up so there would be no chance of leading her to the crime. Suddenly feeling guilty Candi took out another piece of paper and wrote "I needed the money" hoping that it would be an excuse. Suddenly feeling more guilty then she could handle Candi dropped everything and ran.

Crime Scene Investigators

We had an amazing test that put everything we learned to the test. We were given eleven clues, and had to solve a crime. My group  and I were assigned to scene two.
We were given a few things to aid us in the crime solving including a micro scope and chemicals to test substances for other things.
Our clues included:
Clue 1: A dead body with a sliced neck. It was a woman who had red hair and a name badge on her chest, and she was found on a car outside of a club.

Clue two: O- Blood found on scene

Clue 3:A finger print with a delta loop.

Clue 4/5: A cup with a liquid, lipstick on the edge and possible poison, but my group and I found no poison.

Clue 6: A white fiber

Clue 7 and 7A: Clue 7 is the victims hand writing saying "Please help me" and Clue 7A is the killers hand writing that says "I needed the money"

Clue 8: Wool fiber taken from the victims sweater

Clue 9: Gold Necklace

Clue 10: Finger print with a single loop

Clue 11: Finger print left on glass

Using our evidence including our fingerprints and handwriting we were able to narrow our victim to Ginger Snap(O- blood type and a bartender) and our killer as Candi Stores(O- blood type, Entertainment Field(adult), Theft Conviction, Drug Conviction).

In Class Createing a Profile Analysis

In class we were given 5 clues
Clue 1:
Clue 2:
Clue 3:
Clue 4:
Clue 5:


From a previous anylasis of hair we had to determine what were the hairs found in Clue 2 and 4 the we had to decide what we Knew, What we didn't Know, and What we could do to figure it out:

In Class Witness Experiment

In some cases if someone witnesses a robbery or anything along those lines they will call the witness in to try and identify the culprit. In this experiment we had to cut out a picture scramble it up then trade and try to place it back together, this is how it ended up.

In Class Lip Analysis

We were given lip stick/gloss and had to place it onto our lips (Note: no lips actually touched the actual stick/gloss, fingers were used to apply the color) then using a notecard we needed to lay down a lip print then identify the different parts of our lips.

In Class Hand Writing Analysis

We were given a sheet of paper with three boxes one on which we had to write the sentence "The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." both in print and in cursive.
Then we needed to trade the paper with a neighbor and they needed to forge our hand writing free style.
Then we needed to trade again and the next person needed to trace the sentence again.

It was much easier to trace to forge the hand writing than it was to do it free style.
After this activity we were given blank checks and had to write a check, then we had to rip it up and trade our checks then we had to try and deside whose check was whose.

In Class Hair Analysis

The second thing we analysed in class was hair and the different types. We were given different samples including:
White Girl Hair(Hair Dyed)
Black Girl Hair
Asian Hair
Dog Hair
Cat Hair
Synthetic Hair
Silk
