Briefing

Witnesses reported a loud noise in their street at approximately 2 AM in the morning and called the police as an ATM machine in a nearby alley had been blown up.

Travel to the Crime Scene

The crime scene is a room on the ground floor of a bank. It has three ATM’s with the one in the center shattered.

Let’s start with the fingerprints. There are 12 fingerprints in total. number them, take a photograph and extract them with the Fingerprint Kit.

Two fingerprints are on the round table in the room’s corner. There is one fingerprint each near the number pad of the two intact ATMs.

Evidence:
4x Fingerprint (Unknown)

Five fingerprints are on the left side of the damaged ATM, three on the right side. The prints are too close together so you probably have to mark them, photograph them and remove them one after the other before you can go to the next one.

Evidence:
8x Fingerprint (Unknown)

As for the blood samples, there are four to collect. There is one on the bag by the entrance and three at the destroyed ATM. One on the top part and two on the floor in front of it. Number them, take a photograph and extract the samples with the Bio Material Kit.

Evidence:
4x Biological Sample (Unknown)

There is also a smartphone on the bag next to the blood sample. Mark it, take a photograph and pack it up.

Evidence:
Digital Device Smartphone – Korellia

Analyzing the Evidence

Back in the Lab read the email to receive a suspect’s fingerprint: Olaf Richter. The DNA database came back with no match.

Evidence:
Fingerprint (Olaf Richter)

Let’s start with the fingerprints and analyze them at the Fingerprint Analysis station. There are twelve unknown fingerprints to compare against Olaf Richter. Three fingerprints are a match. Export and pick up the results

Continue with the Digital Evidence Analysis station to analyse the found smartphone. Decrypt the Smartphone – Korellia, export the results and pick them up.

Send of the fingerprint analysis and the digital evidence analysis by email. We can’t do the DNA analysis if we don’t have anyone to compare it to.

The phone belongs to Tom Berger and he had contact to an accomplice, Frank Baumann. Both could not be found, but fingerprints could be taken from Tom Berger’s apartment and Olaf Richter provided a DNA sample.

Evidence:
Fingerprint (Tom Berger)
Biological Sample (Olaf Richter)

Return to the Fingerprint Analysis Station and compare the twelve fingerprints to Tom Berger. Export and pickup the results.

Now head over to the Bio Evidence Analysis Station. Put five samples inside: The sample from Olaf Richter and the four unknown samples from the crime scene. Wait until all three samples are analysed, then pick up the results.

Then do the DNA Comparison. All four samples don’t match to Olaf Richter.

Send off your evidence and close the case. The crime scene is now clear.
