Suspect #4
Marcel's Friend
Last saw Marcel at 3:50 before his work shift. Recently became friends. Was seen looking through Marcel's cabinets by Cam.

Not much known about Aiden, very quiet and doesn't talk to many people. No evidence against him, so an unlikely suspect.

Suspect #1
Marcel's Sister
Last talked to Marcel Friday Night about an argument about her taking his car and "wrecking" it

Unlikely suspect as she has no motive to kill her brother other than the fact that they had had an argument. Little evidence found for her.

# data[].attributes.body
Suspect #2
Marcel's Roommate
Last talked to Marcel Friday night about batting practice and had left to see his family.

Unlikely suspect as he has a good alibi along with no known motive. Little evidence found against him

Suspect #5
Marcel's Manager
Second to last person to see Marcel before he left his Friday shift. Got worried when Marcel didn't show up for his Sunday brunch shift after also not showing up for his Saturday night shift. Enjoyed Marcel and thought he was a good employee

Unlikely suspect, seems pretty clean, liked Marcel, no recent arguments, thought he was a good employee. No evidence found against her.

Suspect #3
Marcel's Coworker
Last person to see Marcel before he died at his Friday shift at work. Had recently had an argument about stealing her tips and was going to get the manager involved if he didn't pay her back.

Likely was at the scene, due to evidence of her DNA found at the scene in the form of gum. Has a sort of motive, not one to kill someone over in my mind but definitely possible. Need to find out more before charging her with anything, or putting her in holding.

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of information is still needed to finish this case
Clear mechanism/cause/manner of death
Evidence to prove each of these
Kay needs to make a statement of why her DNA was found at the scene we could likely put her in holding until she does
Who's blood is on that bat
How Marcel's heart got infected (before or after death)
How Kay got into the house that night
How Marcel fell over

# data[].attributes.body
Injuries on the body:
A cut on the forehead of the body about 2.5 inches across

DNA Reports:
Blood Spatters - DNA matched with Marcel
Gum found by tire - DNA matched with Kay

Fingerprints:
Fingerprints on bat matched with Marcel's

Questioning:
Naomi said Kay was often seen chewing gum.

Brain MRI:
Brain seems normal

Heart Dissection:
Heart had infection of the valves or Endocarditis, this could have lead to the death, but is otherwise unknown about as there were no other cuts on the body other than the one on his forehead that could've lead to an infected heart.

Toxicology Report:
65 mg/L of caffeine
20 mg/L of Acetaminophen
These are likely from the medication that Marcel was taking for his tooth pain as seen from the email that he got from Anytown Dentistry.

Scene:
Gum was found under the car
Car door had a dent on it stained with blood, likely from a fall after Marcel fell over

Time of Death Evidence:
No rigor mortis
Complete lividity
The internal temperature was at 93 degrees F matching the internal temperature of the garage
This can conclude a time of death around 30+ hours ago due to the complete lividity but otherwise no rigor mortis shown. Bugs were also apparent at the scene at each stage of their life cycle.
This is supported by the other digital evidence that showed that Marcel hadn't left his house since Friday night when he got back from work.

# data[].attributes.body
Gum - found at scene underneath car in the path of the front tires.
- Gum was spit or placed there after Marcel got home
- This places Kay at the crime scene
- Kay chewing gum is not out of the ordinary, as her boss said that Kay did chew gum a lot and she did on Friday
- Other evidence that points towards Kay being there was her heart rate and breathing rate raising on the last two questions of the polygraph test
- Baseball bat - found lying next to the decedent's body
Heart - Yellow bits of mucus inside the heart, point to infection
- Probably got infection from wound in head after lying on the ground for days with an open generally large head wound

# data[].attributes.body
All of this is still unknown and there is not current evidence to point this in one direction or another, we can assume certain things and investigate some pathways such as a homicide or accident but all three manners of death are still possible.

# data[].attributes.body
- Baseball Bat - Samples taken on the baseball bat revealed Marcel's fingerprints and the blood on the tip of it was not able to be identified
- Toxicology Report - Revealed that Marcel's tissue, brain, and blood was perfectly healthy
- Gash on head - whatever caused the gash did not damage the brain or skull which means the gash alone would not be enough to have killed Marcel
