OOC: This entry sets up
after this and
before this NYPD forensic laboratory
“So the victim’s name is Amy North.” The young detective started his report to the lieutenant as they were on their way downstairs to the autopsy department. “I checked on her apartment in Manhattan. There was no sign of intrusion or scuffle. There were several messages on her answering machine.” He pulled his notes out of his pocket. “Most of them were left by a person called Selina Kyle. Understanding from the tone of those messages she might be the victim’s lover.”
“Selina Kyle. We must check on her later.” The lieutenant nodded. “Autopsy first. There’s nothing more telltale evidence then the victim’s body.”
...
“All right, let’s start with the basics,” the lieutenant started. He, the detective and the prosector were standing around a metal dissection table. “What’s the cause of death?”
“Exsanguination.” The prosector looked into his papers. “Extreme loss of blood. “Strange enough but these wounds,” the doctor’s gloved fingers gently touched the raw mass of meat that was the woman’s face once, “were caused after her death.” He looked up at the lieutenant for a second before turned the corpse’s head revealing a deep bite on her neck. “But this,” he continued. “this one tore her neck arteries open and caused fatal blood loss.” He paused again and cleared his throat, knowing that the rest of his report would seem pretty incredible. “Considering the shape and depth of wounds it seems they were caused extremely sharp and large... fangs. The victim was mauled to death.”
“You mean by a dog?” The detective shook his head in disbelief.
“It was definitely a canine, yes.” The doctor nodded. “Felines would have left scratch marks too. As for a dog, I’m not sure. If it was then it must have been an extremely large and strong one. We also found some unidentified animal fur on the victim’s body.” The doctor held up a small plastic container. “I sent samples to the lab for further tests.”
“Good.” The lieutenant nodded. “Anything else?”
“Not much. We did not find skin or blood under her nails or any other sign of fight. It seems the assault took her by surprise.”
...
“Just got the report on a cigarette was found at the crime scene, sir.” The detective took up the word on their way back to upstairs. “After running the DNA sample isolated from the stub we found a match.” The detective handed a file to the lieutenant.
The older man opened the file. “S. D. Plissken aka the Snake... Ex-Special Forces glider pilot.” The lieutenant immersed himself in the study of the file. “This man is a god damn terrorist!” He said finally.
“Or a war hero, sir.” The detective tried carefully. “I doubt this case fits into his profile. He never killed woman before.”
“I think it does.” The lieutenant dropped the file onto his desk. “Snake Plissken was recently accused of a murder in which he had his dogs maul someone. Issue a warrant against the bastard. Now.”
OOC: All right folks. In the case it does not sound too American conversation, mind you this is not my first language. ;)
