Captain Beara:

After meticulously analyzing the mysterious case regarding the unexplained death of Randi Steiner, I have come to several conclusions.

Upon receiving the call about the death of BRHS student Randi Steiner, I went to Mr. Barra’s room to analyze the crime scene and interview Mr. Barra. I asked him if he ever met with Randi after school on Monday, and he said that he had forgotten that he had asked her to come after school and had left school immediately after ninth period. He also told me that even if he had not forgotten, he probably would have left anyway because he absolutely could not stand being around Randi, as she was extremely rude and annoying. Mr.Barra fidgeted with a pen in his right hand and eventually put it behind his right ear to shake my hand goodbye. A person who holds their pen in their right hand is likely a righty.

While interviewing Mr. Barra, I took several notes about the state of the crime scene. Randi’s body was found close to her usual seat in class where I assumed she had been sitting when the murderer entered the room. Whoever the murderer was, must have been someone she knew, because otherwise she would have made an attempt to exit the room, meaning her body would have been found closer towards the door. Her phone was open to her twitter account, with her most recent tweets being the mean ones about Mr. Barra. Her body was found face up on the ground, visible wounds all over her body and the weapon, a pencil, was left in the center of her forehead. The angle that the pencil was driven into her skull leads me to believe that the murderer was a left handed person. Randi’s death was so malicious that whoever did it must have had a strong dislike for her. There appeared to be no other possible weapons in the room, so I am going to send in the pencil that was found lodged in Randi’s head to our lab to be scanned for DNA evidence.

After speaking with Mr. Barra, I moved on to my next target: Monica Mooney. She labeled herself as one of Randi’s classmates for several classes. I took note that she was refrained from calling Randi her friend although school records show they’ve been in school together since the first grade. Monica looked nervous; she checked her watch that was located on her right wrist, making comments on getting back to class. A person who wears their watch on their right hand is likely a lefty. Before letting her leave, I quickly interrogated her on what she knew about the supposed murder. She claimed she had left the school that afternoon to go to Chipotle and went home when she was done. When I asked to her to provide a receipt or any evidence that would support her whereabouts she first pretended not to hear the question, too distracted by her busy scribbling in her agenda. I repeated the question and she hesitated before saying she did not have one with her at the time. I thanked her before she scrambled to leave the crime scene. Next I interviewed Jacqueline, who had found the body the morning after Randi was murdered. Jacqueline was also in Mr. Barra’s eighth period class. She proudly said she was friends with both Monica and Randi. Although traumatized from discovering the death of her good friend, Jacqueline was able to answer my questions. I asked her about Monica’s personality and her relationship with Randi. Jacqueline recounted that Monica is a good student; however, she is extremely insecure even to the point that she refuses to go anywhere alone, so it would be unlikely that she would go by herself to Chipotle. Monica did not want people to think she had no friends. She then went on to explain how Randi and Monica were tense ever since a French project they were working on together. Supposedly, Monica was complaining that because Randi did not do her share of the project, her boyfriend broke up with her.

My conclusion from all of this evidence is that Monica is lying and a very susceptible of the murder of Randi Steiner. She should be further interrogated to catch any other inconsistencies. I believe that she had a motive stronger than any other suspects to kill Randi.

Thank your for your time, please contact me if you receive any other information regarding this case.
