At the crime scene I saw several pieces of evidence for and against most suspects. The first piece of evidence I saw was a Doritos bag. The bag was open upside down and was nearly crumbles, probably from someone ravenous, but Mrs. Vanguilder cannot eat them. The next piece of evidence I saw was some mysterious white powder that looked almost pressed into the carpet. To me it looked like flour but it might have been a cleaning product from one of the 3 suspects who clean the school. There was also a towel lying strewn on the ground, the towel had a big black smudge on it, probably used by a cleaning suspect. 7 pieces of mysterious white string lay randomly strewn on the ground which gives me no leads. Dirt was also everywhere and there is a door outside of the classroom where the scene of the crime was and a window was on the wall bordering the crime scene. Who would have been outside on the job? There was a women’s NY jeans coat size small. There were also two cups with tiny remnants of brown, fizzy liquid in them, probably soda. The final main thing I noticed was the file folder, closed in the corner of the scene. The peculiar thing was that it was used almost like a clip board so on the folder were imprints of seeming to be random numbers in clean lines and spaces. This was what I saw at the scene of the crime.

For the Cryptography we realized that all of the numbers had a number in order. 11 is a 12 is b 13 is c 14 is d 15 is e and so on...

Martha, The deed is done Felix will not cause any more trouble, we will be rich soon.

What did East Vincent get? We (Drawer34 and I) assume that it is a joint operation and that this is a letter to our fifth grade teacher, Marisha Pyle.

3/8/10 Today we started the Hair Analysis. We took four hair samples from Mrs. Guy, Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Pyle, and Mrs. Seibert the sub librarian. After making wet-mount slides we found that it was difficult to see the hair under the microscope. Do any East Vincenters have sugestions? Next ATP we plan to take another look under the microscope again and try to draw conclusions.

3/10/10 Today when I attempted to view Mrs. Pyle's hair sample I noticed that both slide and hair sample had disappeared. So I decided to view the fifth grader's hair sample and I found that it had disappeared also! So I continued with the other hair samples. Mr. Lucas' resembled a feather. (or a small ameba?) Mrs. Guy's hair looked the most scratchy in the cuticle; most likely because it was died. The inside of her hair was a very blondish-tan and very light. Mrs. Seibert's (the sub librarian) hair was dark, long and smooth on the outside and a lighter brownish-tan on the inside. Finally other ATPers found crime scene hair which I examined. On the towel one hair looked like a mix of Mrs. Seibert's and Mrs. Guy's hair except this one had many dots on the inside. The other hair was almost identical to Mrs. Seibert's except that it had a red dot in the middle and maybe 5 minutes later when I tried to view it it turned black with and thin purple line on the inside?

3/17/10 Ruby and I have just finished the Chemical Analysis test. We only did the iodine and vinegar tests without heat and plan to do the heat test next time.


 * **Powder** || **Iodine Test** || **Vinegar Test** ||
 * //Crime Scene Powder// || //Black// || //Yellow// ||
 * Baking Soda || Orangey-Tan || Bubbled ||
 * //Corn Starch// || //Black// || //Yellow// ||
 * Sugar || Dark Brown || No Reaction ||
 * Flour || Black || No Reaction ||

We found that Corn Starch was a match without the heat test and will see if our findings match next class.

Ruby, Mattie Smith, PhiliesFan, and I have just finished the burn test this week. We discovered that our findings were similar to the test without heat.
 * **Powder** || **Heat with Iodine** || **Heat with Vinegar** || **Heat with powder** ||
 * //Crime Scene Powder// || //Black with brown around edges, smoked// || //Turned White// || no reaction ||
 * Baking Soda || Orangey-Tan || Fizzed and Bubbled, clear || no reaction ||
 * //Corn Starch// || //Black with brown around edges, smoked// || //Turned White and smelled// || smelled bad ||
 * Sugar || seeped, sizzled, smelled, and was bubbling || sizzled, more bubbling, and smelled || no reaction ||
 * Flour || Turned Black with gray edges || smoked and stayed on surface, clear || no reaction ||

We found a match!

Today Philiesfan, Matty Smith, Ruby, and I did the Smell test. We wafted the smells of the different suspects, which were bottled in cartridges. Our data turned out like this:

but with a chemical smell || Crime scene smells more natural and is not as overwhelming || vanilla lotion//** || **//Crime scene smells alike//** || has a more natural smell, less masculine || and is less stuffy || and more like perfume || 4/27/2010 Final Conclusions
 * **Suspect** || **Smell** || **Smell compared to crime scene** ||
 * Holly Molly || smells like a cinamon candle || less fruity and smells less like perfume ||
 * Mrs. Seibert || smells like perfume,
 * **//Mrs. Van Guilder//** || **//Smells like perfume
 * Alfredo Fettucini || axe cologne || Crime scene smells more like perfume and
 * Felix Navidad || Smells like a fruit candle || Crime scene smells more like perfume,
 * Mrs. Guy || smells like axe cologne || Crime scene smells more like vanilla
 * Kendra Goode || smells like a zuchini candle || Crime scene is less stuffy and more natural ||

I find it helpful to have all of my data conclusions in front of me so I can make an appropriate hypothesis as to who the criminal is.

I think that it was Kendra Goode who commited the crime because she has motivation, people suspect her, evidence points to her, police are suspicious about her, and her interview is suspicious. First, she is the only suspect with a motivation, which is her bad financial situation which would lead her to wanting to sell AV equipment for some extra money. Second, three people we have interviewed suspect her. Mrs. Guy said that the only staff members she doesn't completely trust were the temporary staff members like Kendra. Mrs. Seibert said that Kendra spent a lot of time up in the library and after she left a vdeo was gone and Mrs. Pyle said that Kendra was taking things from the AV room and she guessed selling them and that rumor had it Kendra had a quick getaway, Mrs. Pyle had also sometimes seen her rushing out of the building. Also. there is some evidence from the crime scene that points to Kendra also. The tests show that Kendra was one of the culprits in the letter writing and she had used the Mr. Sketch black marker in her time card slot. Next, according to the police detective investigations, the police are suspicious of the cleaners, including Kendra. The police reported that Kendra had the corn starch powder on her clothes and shoes, and had the fiber found at the crime scene in her car and on her shirt. Finally, Kendra's interview is suspicious to me because it maches a lot of the information found. Kendra works from 3:00pm-10:00pm as a substitute cleaner but on the day of the crime she arrived 10 minutes before the other cleaners and left at 11:05pm, 35 minutes later than she usually does. Also it is still believed that this was a joint operation and Kendra is one of the few people who was at both schools the day of the crime. She sometimes cleans in the library which would give her an excuse to be there and she said she took a break to call her wedding planner but her wedding planner said she never recieved a call which leads me to believe that this was her cover story for the time that she was nabbing things from the library. This is why I think that Kendra Goode was the one who commited the crime. My only question now is: Are Gene Poule, Felix Navidad, or this Marsha person in on the crime?
