Hired+or+Fired+Report+(Soup+Boiled+with+Revenge)

“Hired or Fired” Capt. Hardison:

We are faced with a case of a dead restaurant diner and a crowd of guests. The question is either we believe what they say. Since every detective knows to suspect everyone, I’ve tried to interview the guests to get an understanding of what happened. Without question, Kirsten Dahl should be brought in for further questioning and be considered a practical suspect in the death of Robert Stevenson. To begin, __a person who ingests snake venom and has an open wound in his mouth is likely to__ be put in serious medical danger. The Spanish seafood stew, however, could have been messed with by anyone with access to the kitchen. Although, when Kirsten was questioned, she displayed highly suspicious behavior while she tried to hide her hands. Upon investigation, the Spanish seafood stew contained a Claddagh ring and Kirsten had a tan line on one of her fingers. Investigators dug deeper and were able to confirm from Mr. Barra that he had seen her wearing that kind of ring when he taught her in high school. __ A person who is not wearing a ring, but has a tan line from one, is likely to __ be involved with the ring in the stew and the murder. In addition, __a person who says that she is going to meet up with someone who isn’t there is likely to__ be lying about her intentions of visiting the restaurant. Mr. Barra’s alibi was confirmed by his AP Language and Composition class and his colleagues. He was put out of questioning because __a person whose alibi is confirmed be many people is likely__ to tell the truth about where he was during the murder. So, if Kirsten is lying about her intention of visiting Mr. Barra, she likely has something to hide, because __a person who lies about her alibi is likely to__ be hiding something. Chef Suita and Sous Chef McKeen were eliminated from suspicion too. Since the Claddagh ring is most commonly worn by the Irish, investigators knew that the ring could not been his. Although Sous Chef McKeen is in fact Irish, the ring is not hers because __a person who is a chef is likely to__ not wear any jewelry to work since it is considered unprofessional. In addition, Mr. Barra keeps his kitchen in top shape and established strict rules for his staff. Investigators began discussing motives as to why Kirsten would poison the man after determining the other suspects were innocent. They asked Mr. Barra how she was in school and he told them she was never genuine about anything ever. One week in particular she tried being nice but failed miserably. The investigators then asked about her grades. Mr. Barra confirmed that she was a good student but she did poorly on her AP exam, which mattered the most. __A person who receives a poor grade from a teacher is likely to__ seek revenge. Clearly, Kirsten should be considered a suspect in the death of Robert Stevenson. Further investigation into the matter, especially in the form of forensic analysis of the kitchen. Furthermore, Kirsten should be subjected to intensive questioning.

Thank you for your attention, Det. Rivera
