Assignment 2.1Invented Crime Activity
The crime that I have invented will be one of murder. This murder will have taken place
inside a newspaper publication office (The Rebels) in downtown Republic City, Georgia. Two
people have been murdered; Ms. Leia Organa and Mr. Luke Skywalker. Photographs of the
scene will be taken by Han Solo. There are several pieces of evidence in the crime scene which
include:
Bullet flight paths
Body of Ms. Organa
Body of Mr. Skywalker
Bullet casings

Bloody towel
Bloody latex gloves
Shoe prints
First and foremost I will need to secure the scene so that no one walks through possible
evidence. In order to identify the suspect the doorway will be dusted for fingerprints. Because
there are no signs of forced entry, the suspect mustve turned the doorknob in order to gain entry.
After checking for fingerprints I will examine the body to determine if there is evidence to cause
an immediate death. I will also note that there were 9mm casings found close to the original
entry point, as well as the trajectory. I will make note of the hole in the wall behind the victims
(Organa) body. After checking the desk and couch for fingerprints (none will result) I will move
down towards the hall. I will make note of the 2
nd
set of 9mm casings in the hallway. Making my
way to the pool of blood that is on the right-hand side of the hallway I will examine the second
victim (Skywalker) for bullet wounds or any wounds that would indicate whether or not the
victim was shot. I will note the trajectory and hole in the wall immediately outside of the office
where victim 2 was found. Since the shoeprints were lined in blood, I will notice that the
shoeprints do not continue through the office where victim 2 was found, rather than stop in the
pool of blood in the doorway. Therefore, it was not probable that the suspect entered the office. I
will then turn my attention to the shoeprints which are in the direction of a lounge area. Making
my way through the lounge area, after seeing no physical evidence, I will go towards the kitchen
area. In the kitchen area I will find a bloody towel on the floor and bloody latex gloves in the
sink. I will then search the cabinets and desks for any weapons that may be traced back to the
suspect. The bodies of Organa and Skywalker will also be checked for any other DNA evidence
that may identify the suspect.
In order to determine the identity of the suspect fingerprinting the entrance will be useful,
however, because latex gloves were used in the crime fingerprints on the doorknob will prove
useless. The latex gloves will play a vital role in identifying the suspect. By processing the inside
of the gloves for DNA a suspect could be identified. Shoe impressions can help link the suspect
to the shooting. It can also build a timeline for the series of events. It would put the person
wearing the gloves being the same person that walked through the blood of victim 2.

INVESTIGATION REPORT
9/3/2014
Case: 12-9987

On 8/30/2014, at approximately 19:05, Officer George Lucas responded to a possible
homicide at The Rebels newspaper publication located at 7232 Wedge Antilles Dr. Ste 3P30,
Republic City, Georgia. Upon arriving Officer Lucas was met by janitor Ben Kenobi. At the
crime scene Officer Lucas confirmed that there were two dead bodies and had Mr. Kenobi
confirm that the bodies were those of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. The crime scene was
sectioned off and crime scene investigators were then able to collect evidence.
After interviewing Mr. Kenobi, Officer Lucas determined through witness Kenobi that
the vehicle at the scene was a white Alderaan Cruiser with Georgia license plate E-3778Q-1. The
tag on the vehicle was not registered to the Alderaan Cruiser. The tag was registered to a black
Interdiction Cruiser owned by Mr. Luke Skywalker.

Fingerprints, excluding those of victim Organa, victim Skywalker, and janitor Kenobi,
were not found on the entranceway door. A DNA sample was taken from the gloves and towel
located in the kitchen area and sent to New Hope Genetics. A casting of the boot prints near
Solos body was also taken for examination. Ballistics determined that the bullet wounds
Organa and Solo received were consistent with the 9 mm shell casings that were found at the
scene.

The DNA from the inside of the glove matched recently released inmate Anakin Vader.
The blood on the outside of the gloves belonged to victim Mr. Luke Skywalker. Wookie County
Police Department filed a warrant for arrest and a search warrant against Mr. Vader. Judge Sith
Sidious reviewed all evidence and granted the warrants. During the execution of the search
warrant, a 9 mm handgun and boots with blood on them were recovered from the suspects
home. Mr. Vader was taken to Wookie County Police Department for further questioning. Mr.
Vader stated, I am their father! And I had to do it because they would not join the dark side.
He continued with his confession and was charged with first degree murder.
