The scene shows Marcel laying face down in his garage alongside his car.  Here, there is blood running from his nose that resulted in a blood pool surrounding his head. There was also a piece of gum along with a baseball bat a few feet from him.  The scene and the components are significant in that they allow us as investigators to reach new conclusions.  The blood was confirmed to be Marcel’s, while his body temperature/bugs on head/discoloration prove and tell the state of decay, the gum was tested and is Marcels, and the hair on the scene is Newgard’s.  These pieces of evidence are crucial  in that they tell a story of what happened and that Marcel could have been a case not involving homicide.

Evidence pulled from labs shows...
Polygraph- Cam and Kayli both had graph data that lead to furthering of the case. Cam’s was a bit high with the questions about last seeing and if he murdered Marcel, but, on the other hand Kayli had a spike of heart rate level when compared with her base stats. Also, Cam did not have any other data that was suspicious in the case, I just believe that he was very worried for his roommate. Kayli, also likely just felt under pressure, especially after the tip incident.
Heart- represents the damage that the major caffeine intoxication levels resulted in.
Blood Spatter- Blood has been shown to have a radial spatter- large collision occurred (Marcel falling from standing in hard floored garage)
Gel Electrophoresis- This confirmed that the gum was indeed Marcels and that the blood was Marcels (significant in knowing Marcel is the only dna found)
Blood Typing- Blood matched Marcel
Toxicology- Showed extremely toxic levels of caffeine
Wet mount- not important in results in that it showed the obvious fact that Jenn and Marcel has similar hair- they are siblings
Histology- Brain not under major damage (no TBI, CTE), fall was not that impactful
Digital Evidence- Gave important information that revolves amongst missing work, dentist appointment (pain reliever), and suspicions about Cam

# data[].attributes.body
Wet Mount- It was good to know that the hair was truly Marcel’s but it did not bring important conclusions
Fingerprints- Fingerprint was Marcel’s on the bat, unimportant in that he was priory playing baseball.
Dna Evidence- Unimportant in that the gum likely just fell out of his mouth from the fall.
