Emergency Services received a 911 call reporting a woman found hanged in her apartment.

As investigators gathered preliminary information at the scene, the Oxford Weekly Planet broke the news.

After they finished at the crime scene, Detectives Murphy and Parker went back to the station to talk to Courtney’s best friend, who was one of the people who found her body.

When they wrapped up with Mee-Yon, the detectives took a look at Courtney’s background and reviewed what evidence had been collected so far at the scene.

Then they sat down with the other person who was present when Courtney’s body was found.

Detective’s Tip: Review police reports, forensics, and more to assess where the evidence leads.
