Greetings ,
On Saturday evening, Detective Armstrong and I were called to the Kangaroo Express convenience store and gas station on University Avenue. A 17-year-old girl had been found dead in the women's restroom there. It was a bloody scene. It looked like she had been stabbed multiple times, and she or the killer may have written a message on the floor in her blood.
We'll have two more updates of case documents from this investigation for you, including a biography of the victim, more witness interviews, and more
We need you to tell us what happened. Who was the killer? What was the motive? What evidence supports your theory? We've given you the incident report, an evidence inventory, a witness interview and more. Now you tell us the story of the crime.

There is no "correct" answer. Use your imagination and your detective skills to devise the story behind the crime. Submit your tale of what happened and why in no more than 500 words by Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
