Crime Scene Investegation

All that we've learned over the past weeks has lead up to this. Our teacher set up 3 artificial crime scenes each with a multitude of clues for us to use. My group was assigned to crime 2 which had been commited at a local bar.

A list of potential suspects was also provided, the suspects are as follows;

Evidence

• A corpse of a red haired female is layed on a car witha  gaping neck wound. This lead us as a group to belive that it was definatley a murder.
• Our second clue is a sample of 0- blood. This along with the red haired woman's wound, lead us to belive that it was Ginger Snap who had been killed. However we also noticed Candi Stores possesed the same blood type which opened up the posiblity that she had been injured while killing Ginger Snap. This evidence helped us verify that both Ginger Snap and Candi Stores may have been involved however this evidence was not conclusive.
• On the scene we found a print that registered with Candi Stores' tented arch pattern, confirming that she was present at the scene of the crime.

• The next piece of evidence we found was a small glass with a blue drink in it as well as a lipstick stain. On first impresion we thought it may have contained poision, but upon further inspection it did not.  With the darker brand of lipstick it could belong to Candi Stores however we could not confirm this.

•  The Next exhibit was a strand of cotton fiber. This evidence did not help identify any suspects, but it may be the signs of a struggle as the victim may have tried to protect herself. This coupled with the nylon fiber found at the scene could further prove this point as each fiber could have belonged to victim and the killer.

• Another article of intrest found were two handwritten notes. One was in what was believed to be Candi Store's hand writing saying "I needed the money". The other note was written in Ginger Snaps writing witht he words "Please help me!". The fact that they are both torn up indicate that the killer attempted to conceal the incedent. The first note may have been written to Ginger Snap as a warning. Seeing as Candi has a past drug conviction it may be that she was requesting money owed to her by Ginger Snap. As for Ginger's note it may have been a silent plea for help from another person at the bar as Ginger realises Candi Store is going to try and harm her.

• We also found a gold chain necklace. With the above evidence we believe Candi stole the necklace from Ginger to sell for money, killing Ginger Snap to make sure she can get away with it.

• The final pieces of evidence were two fingerprints. The first of which was an accidental type which matches Ginger's further indicating that the only two suspects present were Candi and Ginger. The other print was found on a glass surface, as a radial loop. It did not match any prints of the suspects we had listed so we discerned it was either another bystandereds print or a different finger on one of the suspects.

Conclusion:

With the evidence above I have determined how I belive the crime happened;

Before the incedent Candi Stores, an entertainer at the club, gave the money to the bartender as either a shady loan. However Ginger Snap didn't show much intention of getting the money back any time soon. One night Candi slips Ginger a final warning note, Ginger not able to pay off the money wrote a note requesting help from another bargoer (believed to be the owner of the radiall loop print). As the night progressed Candi drank a little too much and in an drunkin state chased Ginger outside the bar in attempts to steal her necklace for the money she could sell it for. After killing Ginger she was shocked from her drunken state. In horror she rips up the notes in order to not be traced down. Then she ran dropping the necklace.
