Eric Piedmont: Anna's boyfriend. They were seen arguing, but appear to have made up
Dominique Hall: Anna's classmate, fairly competitive, recently lost a scholarship to Anna
Taylor Diaz: Anna's friend, and person who initially found the scene
Dr. Elsie Opal: Anna's professor. not really that suspicious
Sam Greene: Anna's soccer teammate. They were known to not get along very well]]> 2021-10-25 15:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842039937 swan10 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842042729 Anna Garcia was found in the Gentry Life Science Building. Upon our arrival, Anna Garcia was dead on the ground for an unknown amount of time. Around her, there were blood spatters, blowflies and their eggs, her phone, a tipped over bottle, hair, and a note in her pocket. There was also a cart beside her with tools on it. ]]> 2021-10-25 15:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842042729 asverma1 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842056116 Name: Anna Garcia
Age: 20 years old
Gender: Female
Occupation: Intern at Gentry Life Science Lab

There is not much evidence about her recent activities before her death. She posts on social media regarding working in the lab late the night before. Her body was discovered by Taylor Diaz, but other than that, we have no evidence of persons with her at the time of death.

None of the suspects had clear motive to kill her, and evidence shows that she may have died by accident. No DNA found at the scene points towards a suspect, and blood spatter tests show no external force on her way down. She may have fallen and hit her head on the lab cart, but we can't conclude anything yet.

This evidence is inconclusive and doesn't eliminate suspects. The only thing it really does is help confirm Anna's identity.]]> 2021-10-25 15:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842072884 swan10 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842087402 Location: found on the handwritten note

To figure out who's fingerprints were on the glass and notes, we analyzed the minutiae and patterns of each persons' of interest's fingerprints. We determined that the fingerprint on the note is Eric Piedmont's, because they are both loops and they have the most similar minutiae. They both had a fork on the top left, a ridge ending on the top right, a short ridge on the top right, and a fork on the bottom right. We also determined that the fingerprint on the glass is Anna Garcia's fingerprint because it's a whirl and Anna is the only person who has a whirl. Other than that, they both also had a fork in the middle, a bridge on the right, and a ridge ending on the right. ]]> 2021-10-25 15:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842087402 swan10 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1842109440 Location: found on her phone and social media

Answers were all more or less what we expected (Sam doesn't get along with Anna very well) and the polygraph didn't show any answers as notably suspicious]]> 2021-10-26 14:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845264411 swan10 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845293770 Location: table and floor
Test Conducted: gel electrophoresis

To determine who's blood was at the scene, we conducted tests for the blood on the table and floor, as well as the DNA of Eric Piedmont, Dominique Hall, and Anna Garcia. From that, we were able to conclude that the blood on the table and floor were all Anna's, because after being put through gel electrophoresis, the DNA from the table, floor, and Anna's were all the same. ]]> 2021-10-26 14:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845293770 asverma1 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845295025 There were two blood stains found at the scene of the crime. After extensive testing we were able to make some conclusions about what may have happened. One of the things that we did was blood typing to see who may have been at the scene. After discovering that both blood samples were type A, we matched those with persons of interest who also had type A blood. Those ended up being Eric Piedmont, Dominique Hall and the victim, Anna Garcia herself. Further DNA testing would show that the blood was indeed Anna's blood. Prior to the blood typing though, we did spatter tests on the drops. We found that the larger the spatter patterns were, the higher they would've fallen from. Using this information we found out that the the blood on the floor had fallen from around the height of the cart. Indicating that she may have hit her head on the cart and then proceeded to bleed out on the floor. We also used the spatters of blood to determine that there was little to no external force from the blood falling. ]]> 2021-10-26 14:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845295025 dfreedland https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845299319 Currently, we're still not sure what actually killed her, or where/why she was bleeding, nor do we know what was in the empty flask that was found near the body
However, we can fairly confidently say that Eric Piedmont was most likely at the scene, or at least had some involvement in Anna's death]]> 2021-10-26 15:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845299319 swan10 https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845336873 Our current explanation of what happened to Anna is that something happened that caused her to hit her head on the cart and die. This is because the blood spatters at the scene fell from the height of the cart and there was no external force on them. We think that her cause of death is not natural, but we haven't narrowed anything else down. ]]> 2021-10-26 15:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/asverma1/ds7e9yczmnp0v19p/wish/1845336873
