At the crime scene above her head was a pool of blood, there were four pills scattered on the ground to the right of her body, a syringe was to the left of her between her and a table, to the right of her body there was a cup, vomit was near her right leg, and a fallen lamp and a piece of the lamp was to the light of her near her
At the scene of the crime fingerprints were also found. As a team, we concluded that the fingerprints belonged to Alex Garcia. When comparing the fingerprints at the crime scene and the suspect’s prints, we looked at the ridge pattern and the minutiae. Alex Garcia’s ridge pattern matches the ones at the crime scene, a loop. He says he was at work at the time, but he has no alibi witness. In 2008 Alex Garcia had a restraining order placed on him by his ex-girlfriend do to violence. Alex never did really go to work.

Anna Garcia died unexpectedly on a hot summer day. The EMT broke down the door and found Anna lying face down on the floor. The case is being investigated. The persons of interest are Alex Garcia, Anna’s former husband; Doug Greene, Anna’s neighbor; Erica Piedmont, Alex’s new wife; and Lucy Leffingwell, Anna’s best friend. The person who is most suspicious of having something to do with Anna’s death is her former husband, Alex Garcia.
The autopsy revealed that Garcia had no evidence of post-mortem tampering or overdose. It also revealed that there was an injury to the right temple, including an open wound where pre-mortem bruising was evident. Anna’s abdomen was bloated, her ankles were swollen (signs of edema were positive), her fingernails showed signs of substantial graying (low oxygen), and her right proximal humorous showed signs of a recent healed break, as well as the distal tibia. Blunt trauma to the head, would indicate of a fall against a solid

The 4 unknown pills were mashed and indicators were mixed with the mashed up pills and the reactions were a match with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). There was also a used syringe found at the, but what it was containing is unknown. The persons of interest include Alex Garcia, her former husband who divorced her for a younger woman. He is still the benefactor for Anna Garcia and was seen the night before to discuss paperwork.

Victims number 6 and 10 were both found with matching substances, in their bloodstream and pocket, respectively, composed of 75.42% carbon, 6.63% hydrogen, 8.38% nitrogen, and 9.57% oxygen (Table 2). The steps described above to find the molecular formula were taken, and the molecular formula was found to be C21H22N2O2, or strychnine, commonly known as rat poisoning, a substance highly toxic to humans. From this data, it can be concluded that victim number 10 had murdered victim number 6 with the strychnine, as it was found in victim 10’s pocket and victim 6’s bloodstream, and anyone with any common knowledge or with the ability to read knows not to ingest rat poisoning, making it obvious that victim 6 was murdered. To identify the two victims, any other substances found on their person and in their personal luggage had to be identified and then matched with any prior knowledge of the victims. Victim 6, the murder victim, was found two other substances: C14H18N2O5 , aspartame, and C8H10N4O2 , caffeine, (page 7). Both of these two substances are found in Diet Coke, something the mother of Miley Cyrus said she never travelled without, (page 8). Furthermore, in the luggage of victim 10, a substance with the molecular formula of C12H17NO (page 7), also known as DEET or insect repellent was found. Based off of this evidence, coupled with family interviews, victim

This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.
Upon arriving on scene, I observed a body laying on the ground in the driveway of the residence, near the road. The body was laying behind a red dodge truck.
I then proceeded to enter the residence and noticed a female was visibly upset and was crying. I identified the female as Mrs. Gloria Lipscomb Plato (Victim) and her daughters Marissa Dawn Plato (Victim) and Kara Plato. Mrs. Plato’s face was red and she had a cut on the inside of her bottom lip. Mrs. Plato’s neck and arms were also red. Mrs. Plato stated that
