Conclusions

After releasing the scene in 1548, the conclusion derived from the evidence is that there was an unexpected pregnancy that made the significant other of the victim murder the victim to cover up the pregnancy. After arriving on the scene, we conducted an initial sweep of the crime scene and established a perimeter. Entering the scene, passive red drops were leading away from the bathroom, where the victim was found in a pool of blood. In close proximity to the victim was found a knife that were tested with hemastixs that tested positive for the presence of blood. Furthermore, during the investigation, there were pregnancy tests found on the island between the bar and the front door. The room looked dismayed as the furniture was knocked over and food left out. The red stains were tested with hemastix as a presumptive test, and all the stains tested positive for blood. They were sealed in biohazard containers and sent for further testing in the lab. The rest of the evidence was collected to help establish a storyline and timeline of the events that took place.
