Criminal Justice: Wednesday, Period Three

Gibbs had left word for the entire class to meet him at the Main Campfire for today's class, rain or shine, however Gibbs was no where to be seen.

A few minutes later Gibbs was marching through the campfire shouting at everyone to get their gear.

"You took this course for a reason," Gibbs said trying to herd everyone to the danger shop. "So get your butts in gear and get to the danger shop... thing."

Yes. He knew class would end up in the shop. He felt a little exercise helped with the whole training thing.

"The dead body of a Petty Officer was discovered in a public restroom by an elderly lady," Gibbs stated as the marched along. "Police were called and found a Navel ID card on her personal belongings and then called us in to investigate. "

"Before you enter the crime scene you will learn and obey Rule #3. Always wear rubber gloves at a crime scene. As this is a public restroom you can expect to find a lot of items there. You will bag and tag everything of interest. Before you put a piece of evidence you will have one of your teammates take a picture of the evidence along with a numerical marker and a corresponding L-scale for reference. The room will be measured with every object taken a picture of for a possible recreation at a later time. "

When they reached the danger shop, Gibbs pushed the door open to reveal a women's public restroom which was... well not exactly sanitary. In the last stall there is a dead body of a woman wearing high heels and a bikini. Her head was stuffed in the toilet.

"The victim was Petty Officer Tiffany Jordan. Victim was participating in a Miss Spring Break competition when she was discovered dead. Her C.O. said she was deployed on the U.S.S. Monroe for the last fifty-seven days. Ship returned to port yesterday about this time," Gibbs stated. "Take pictures of the body, and her purse beside her before inventorying it. Make sure to grab the trash bags and anything lying on the floor. There are wet footprints on the floor. Make sure that we get those sketched and then get a sketch of the victims shoes and any witnesses or cops who walked in here. When we are done with the inside of the restroom we will then comb the outside. And when we are done with that, we will go to the victim's apartment. Next week we'll go over the evidence and see what it tells us."

Gibbs clapped his hands together to punctuate that he was done. "All right. Get started. Let's go!"

The OOC: To make things a little different, clues will be discovered randomly by students in the evidence searching threads. I'll be using good ol' RNG to determine which students find what.

[OCD is up!]

Dinah took a photo of it, then looked for two separate bags for the flowers and the card. They probably wouldn't find any prints or clues from them, but maybe they'd be able to figure out which florist sent them from the kind of bouquet it was. "Hmmmm... Boyfriend, maybe?"

Dinah paused, re-reading it, then blinked, nodding. "That's weird. They always include that, free advertising and all. So it's probably not a florist's store or supermarket purchase, or even on-line. Why wouldn't they sign it, either?"

Dinah's mouth formed an 'O' as she thought about that. "So they showed up with the flowers... but you don't put in a card like that, if you're there in person and they know you, so maybe they impersonated a delivery guy?" She frowned. "Okay, that's speculation, but it's still not normal to give flowers with a blank card, unsigned, in person, if they know you."

Nodding, Dinah did that, then the flowers, frowning, then muttering to herself, "Did they want to see her in person, or just her apartment? She wasn't killed here...."
