Forensic Science, 5th period, 4/18
Abby was standing at the door of the danger shop, handing out hardhats along with the usual labcoats. "Welcome to the last class. I'm really sad that this class is ending, I've had a fun time killing off your fellow teachers and classmates."
"Today we're going to be focusing on one last aspect of forensic science." Abby said, donning her own hard hat. "Figuring out the differences between an accident and a homicide."
"Not everyone that dies has been killed." Abby lectured. "And sometimes murders can be set up to look like accidents. You need to be smarter than the cops, smarter than the doctors, smarter than the criminals to solve these type of crimes."
She flashed up two scenes on the plasma screen, both of drowning victims. "These scenes are similar, but one was an accidental drowning and the other was a homicide. There are a few obvious clues and some not-so-obvious ones."
Waiting until the class had finished talking about the scenes, Abby herded them to the door that led to the crime scene. It opened into a large warehouse, complete with piles of wood pallets and flickering lights.
In the center of the room was a puddle of water and an electrical wire surrounding the body of Jake Gavin. "You're job is to figure out if Jake died as a result of an accident or somebody killed him. Oh, the wire isn't live so none of you are in danger. I just think hard hats are fun to wear."
