My name is Detective Crouch. Two weeks ago I was called to a crime scene at a two bedroom one bath beach house. The alleged victim was Felix Navidad. He had a party for his friends, but this party was not a good one. Felix ended up dead. Felix inherited a lot of money from his parents. They died in bunji jumping accident. His friends were in his will. The suspect guilty of committing this crime is Vera Cruz. This suspect's guilt was confirmed through the testing and results of evidence collected at the crime scene.

The most incriminating piece of evidence was the sweater. The evidence was found next to the body. There was a string near Felix. The test performed was the tape lift (Thread Burning test). The results of the test was that the thread was white. This connects the suspect to the crime because Vera had a white sweater when she was at the beach house.

The next piece of evidence collected was powder on Vera's shoes. Her footprint was found on the floor next to the body. The test performed was the Footprint test. Vera's footprint matched the ones at the crime scene. The results of the test were that she had white powder on her shoes. This connects the suspect to the crime because after conducting the powder test, the powder was cornstarch and that means Felix was poisoned.

Another piece of evidence collected was the Cola. Two cups were found next to the body. The test performed was Ph test. Cola is usually an acid, but this test showed that Felix's cup was a base, meaning that there was poison in his drink. The Fingerprint test was also done showing Vera's fingerprints on Felix's cup (Kendra's prints were found on his cup). This connects the suspect to the crime because Vera is a chemist and would know how to mix certain chemicals together. She must have poisoned Felix!

The last piece of evidence collected was the ice cube tray. It was found next to the garbage can with 4 cubes missing. There was water left to test the ph level. There was powder on the ice cube tray as well. The test performed was the Ph test. The results of the test were that the ice water was a base, again showing poison! Normal tap water is neutral and this ice water was a base. This connects Vera Cruz to the crime again because she must have filled the water into the ice cube tray, and then put the poison into the water.

According to the evidence, the following is an account of the events believed to have gone down on that fateful day. I believe that Vera Cruz is guilty of poisoning Felix Navidad. She is a chemist and she knew that she was in Felix's will. While other people were not looking, she went into the kitchen and put poison in the ice cube tray, which later went into Felix's Cola. Therefore, Vera is the one who killed Felix all because she wanted his money!
