Theory of the Incident

Your ECU team must develop an evidence-based theory of the incident. Remember the importance of applying your analysis of the data you were given and the data you discovered to the construction of your theory.

​

The first question you must answer is:

• Was a crime committed?

​

If a crime was committed, you must develop an evidence-based theory of the crime in which you answer the following questions:

• Who committed the crime?

• What was the perpetrator's motive?

• How was the crime carried out?

​

If no crime was committed, you must be able to explain the mysterious incident by applying your analytical findings.

​

Presentation of Findings

 

Each ECU team must prepare a presentation in which the team presents its laboratory findings, analytical process, and conclusions. The teams' presentation will be shared to the entire ECU on Day 4 of the investigation.
