Ink Chromatography: Why?: Found on the Crime scene was a note with the written message “You are a dead man”. Three suspects were found to have pens on their person. Assuming one of them wrote the note we tested all the pens to see which was the closest to the pen used to write the note. We did this via ink chromatography.

Pen 1: Glen Glee Pen 2: Nancy Normal Pen 3: Fred Flimmer Note pen: Nancy Normal had a match for the pen.

Dna fingerprinting: Dna was collected from two samples at the crime scene and from all the suspects.It was then all compared via electrophoresis, the results show that Crime Scene 2 matches with Nancy, and Crime Scene 1 Matches with Carlton.

Conclusion: We Accuse Nancy Normal of Killing Carlton Comet. Evidence: ● Her Pen Matches the Note ● Her fingerprints were on the table ● Her blood matched what was found on the knife ● Triple X Syndrome ● Has a Motive

Motive: Nancy Normal is deeply in love with Fred Flimmer. Fred Flimmer’s father is Carlton Comet and he hates him because Carlton had a love triangle with and killed Fred’s sister and Aunt. Carlton Comet also had an affair with Nancy’s Aunt. Nancy having Triple X syndrome means she is prone to anxiety, depression, behavioral issues and learning disabilities, these symptoms combined with her lust for Fred would easily lead to her murdering Carlton.
