Scene

Autopsy

Etesay was killed on April 23^rd, 2010, in their foyer by Dot wielding a gun. She was struck in the jugular vein.

Clues

• Hole in window too big to have crawlen through, but big enough for an item to have come in.
• Murderer or victim was blond.
• Lampshade damaged.
• Victim was female.

Guess

• What we first must find out are the general details. From the outline used on the floor (presumably by the police) we can tell that the victim was female. A small scrap of paper on the floor reads "23/??/?0", which I'm assuming is part of a larger date. We can, therefore, narrow it down to the 23rd of any given month in the year 2010 (I believe it may have been in January). A broken window indicates that the perpetrator forced him or herself in through the window and into the foyer or main hall, possibly during the night, but that's just conjecture on my part. Blood spatters on the wall and floor indicate a struggle, and the blood soaked into the carpet seems to come from the neck or the head. The jugular may have been cut, considering how much blood there is. A small object lay on the floor by the lamp; possibly a key of some sort, and perhaps the murder weapon.

• What I can ascertain from this scene is that a female was stabbed or cut with a key in the head or neck by an assailant who came in through the window of the foyer or main hall on the 23rd of January(?), 2010.

• However, some vital clues are missing; namely, who was killed, who killed her, and why. While the last question is undoubtedly unanswerable at the time, I believe the first two details will solve the mystery if discovered. - SKUB ? 20:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Most of your statement is true. However;

1. The paper can be seen to say "il 23", but you stated it was January 23^rd. January does not end in il.
2. The hole in the window is too sharp and small for the murderer to have entered and made a clean getaway.
3. The item behind the lamp is not a key, but, infact, hair. Miss Peach

• Following up, the only month ending in il is, of course, April. Thus it can be ascertained (or whatever the term is) that the victim, whom I'll hazard to guess is Marissa due to the outline, was killed on April 23rd, 2010. Furthermore, the crack in the window suggests a rock was thrown. The hair could have come from the perpatrator looking in to make sure the foul deed was commited. Obviously, it must have come from a blonde. ^SuperCryptogamer12 20:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
  • What you said is logical, but the weapon was not a rock, and marissa was not killed in the incident. Zoo977 20:44, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

  • You got a lot of the facts right. Good job. Zoo977 20:44, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
• That girl with the backwards hair? I think I remember that one. That one must have bit it. - SKUB ? 20:47, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Good guess, but no. Besides, her hair was glued like that, so her hair could not have been thrown over the floor as shown without cracking her hair. Miss Peach
• Wait. I've got it. The victim (I forget her name but she has backwards hair) was shot through the jugular by an assailant who was outside. The bullet traveled through the window (breaking it) and through the lampshade, which explains the hole. But who done it...? - SKUB ? 20:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
• Rather than guess, for know I'll just debunk. The victim was female, but has arms, meaning Dot could not have been assassinated. However, Dot also has blonde hair, such as the one found at the crime scene. Also, Dot's known-to-be tempermental cousin (Larry or Barry?) has the same colour hair, so he seems like a good guess for the murderer. ^SuperCryptogamer12 21:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Good job. You should take a closer look at that hair. Zoo977
• The hair came from a red head. Brerose 21:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
  • It's been proven to be blond. Zoo977 21:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
