Lesson 1.

Case of the Trash Monster.

What did Slylock observe to help him identify the trash monster?
Suspects: Racoon or bull.

- Bones were found in the trash.
- Bull is herbivore.
- Racoon eats both
The racoon did it.

Moonwalking bear.
Okay so I didn't notice the moonwalking bear.
It wasn't obvious! He doesn't look like a bear, and people were moving around so I didn't notice it. Was too focused on the basketball the first time the video played and the other times were because yeah he really doesn't look like a bear!


"Every contact leaves a trace.
The very basic concept of forensic science and investigation.

Virtual investigation.
Evidence:

Footprints:
Right foot of a men's size 11 "Doc Martin" boot.
The heel is worn at the back, suggesting that the suspect drags his feet.

Toolmarks:
The first is a "compression" mark, where the tool made a slight indentation in the wood.
The second is a sliding impression in the metal surrounding the lock.
Suggests that a crowbar or similar tool was used.

Paintchips:
Can be compared to other traces of paint chips found on tool/suspect.

A guy was cheating on the person who wrote the letter and she was very angry.
Threats were mentioned in the letter.
