Kay Litrell was Marcel's coworker at the Biotic Bistro Restaurant. Kay had recently accused Marcel for stealing her tip money and threatened to go to their manager. Kay last saw Marcel on Friday at the restaurant and they both clocked out at 10 p.m.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the questioning, Kay's respiration rate and heart rate stayed in a similar range. The heart rate data shows that two of the questions caused her heart rate to increase which causes a sense of suspiciousness. None of the other evidence though proved that Kay was reliable for Marcel's death.

Aiden Santori was a new friend of Marcel Newgard. There is not much information about Aiden and he comes and goes frequently.

Aiden last saw Marcel at 3:50 p.m. on Friday in the parking lot of Biotic Bistro right before Marcel started his shift.

Aiden's polygraph results appeared to be pretty normal. His heart rate and respiration rate did spike when he was asked if he killed Marcel but the polygraph is not reliable evidence to determine whether that is true or not. During the other questions his heart and respiration rate stayed in a similar range.

All of the red substances found at the scene had a negative control for blood except the spatter that was found by Marcel's head. The substances on the car door and baseball bat were not blood.

# data[].attributes.body
The results from the DNA evidence prove that the DNA found in the gum that was under the tire and also the DNA in the blood spatter by Marcel's head was confirmed to be Marcel's DNA. This meaning that the red substance, which is now determined blood by the Presumptive test, is Marcel Newgard's blood.

The bacteria of the tooth could have ventured into his bloodstream which most likely led to it affecting the valves. This condition is called Acute Bacterial Endocarditis.
