Mystery Case

THE SCENARIO:

You are a team of undercover agents on training. You arrive at the station where you are immediately presented your first mystery case to solve.

THE CASE:

The case involves a murder of a 20-year-old girl, named Anna, who was shot point-blank along the sidewalk. The killer managed to hide himself and was never identified. Moreover, no physical evidences were found to help you at the right direction. There is only the testimony of one eye witness.  

The eye-witness happens to be the mother of the victim’s boyfriend. Accordingly, she claims to have been walking with the victim that day because Anna claimed to meet-up a virtual friend. The mother basically claims to have no idea what the meet-up was for or who it was in particular. All she knows is that Anna has been in contact with the virtual friend for months and has never yet met the person. As reported, she says what happened, happened quickly. One time they were  looking around and walking on the sidewalk nearing the meet-up place and  the next thing she knew she simply looked backed to find Anna sprawled on the pavement shot on the head and not even a shadow of anyone around was present.  

You try to look at Anna’s data and you read her file. As reflected she’s been quite the independent girl ever since. She did not grow up with her immediate parents but with a close relative. Moreover, you discover she’s been living apart her family (clan) for years now and hasn't visited or met them for almost three years past. However, she time to time drops messages to her siblings.  

THE CHALLENGE: 

Your chief of police and program adviser announced that the department will be dismissing a lot of people and will willingly drop even OJT agents if their respective assigned cases are not solved. But to ensure that you will keep your jobs, you need to find the culprit and close the case or else you’ll be kicked out. 

During the Investigation

Victim- 20 year old woman named Anna

Eye witness- Mother of victim’s boyfriend

Our Possible Suspects and their Alibi:

·         Victim’s Siblings

            -Impossible because according to their alibi, they were in some other places together with their other relatives.

·         Boyfriend

            -There’s a possibility that he can be the suspect. Because he knew already that Anna has a virtual friend who is a guy and because of jealousy, he planned to kill her. He decided to make this plan with her mother so that no other people can be the eye witness and also he knew his mother will not betray him. They intentionally made the crime in place of the meet up to make Anna’s virtual friend be the suspect. Also, according to the forensics, Anna was shot point blank which means it’s only 3 feet away.

·         Mother of the victim’s boyfriend

            -It’s possible. Why will she go with Anna if it’s personal and it’s a private meet up of Anna and her virtual friend? The two of them planned the crime. The mother was the look out and the one who gives the cue when to shoot her.

Virtual Friend

            -Impossible, because according to the virtual friend of Anna’s, he’s still in their house while the crime happened.

Results of our Investigations: The suspect was the boyfriend and the mother was also captured because of hiding her son’s act and that is an obstruction of justice.

CRIME SOLVED!
