Crime Scene 2: New Information
Since your initial visit to the crime scene, new details have emerged. The victim’s shoes, which you confiscated as evidence, have matched one full and one partial bloody footprint in the living room. These prints were originally assumed to be from an intruder. You have spoken to the victim’s mother, who reported the victim’s history of bipolar disorder and a previous suicide attempt. The victim’s girlfriend reported that as she exited the house, she heard the victim say, “If you go through that door, you’ll never see me again.” Additionally, the lab has analyzed the laptop computer you handled and found a suicide note on the desktop.

The role surveillance and interview/interrogation would or could play in your evidence
Conclusions the evidence led you to initially and after receiving the new information

Support your choices with evidence/citations from the Learning Resources.
