Investigation Day 1

Emergency Services received a 911 call reporting a woman’s body on the side of a road in eastern Yoknapatawpha County. She had been shot to death.

After examining the body and the vehicle, Detectives Armstrong and Murphy talked at the scene to the young man who found the body.

A short time later, another officer told the detectives about an incident earlier the same day that might be connected to their investigation, so Detective Armstrong went to check it out.

When they got word late that afternoon that the victim’s parents had arrived in town, the detectives went to Zoe’s house to talk to them.

While Detectives Armstrong and Murphy were collecting some evidence from Zoe’s residence, the Oxford Weekly Planet told their readers about the murder.

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