The note says "Please forgive me, I love you all." The loops made really long and thin on letters such as "l" and "f." It appears that pressure was applied to the writing because the writing appears to be much darker than standardly applied pressure. There are disconnects between upper-case letters and double "o's".

Story:
Sandra O'Connor, Jet Trong and Lucas Moore decided to do crack cocaine just outside the wooded area. Sandra overdoses from the amount of cocaine she had, which moved Lucas to forge the suicide note "Please forgive me, I love you all." Lucas also had a reaction to the drug. Jet was overwhelmed by the situation walked away, which explains why there is one footstep walking to the scene and one away.
Nice analytical work, Oliver! My group and I came to a similar conclusion, but we found Jet Trong to be less involved. It was interesting to read how your group analyzed the evidence in comparison to my group. Most of the evidential conclusions you wrote match mine. Your use of the knowledge obtained in the forensic unit clearly shows in your investigation. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the dead body freaked me out. Other than that good explination about the crime scene.
ReplyDeleteReally good work. The only thing is I think "cominated" should be contaminated above the picture of the syringe. Very nice job.
