Investigation Day 1

Yoknapatawpha Emergency Services received a 911 call reporting a man not breathing in a residence off South Lamar Boulevard. The OWP’s Crime Beat jumped on the story as soon as they heard it on the scanner.

After inspecting the scene, Detectives Armstrong and Murphy went back to the station to interview the witnesses, starting with the dead man’s best friend, who called 911.

Then they talked to Blake’s girlfriend about what happened at the party. Next, they spoke to one of her friends, who was also there that night.

The next witness on their agenda was the professor who was at Blake’s party what he saw and heard that night.

Another member of Blake’s band who was there that night told the detectives what she could remember about what happened.

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