Task 3: Eliminate a Suspect
To complete this task, you need to identify which suspect can be eliminated, the reason they can be eliminated (did they lack the means or the opportunity to commit the crime?), and the three pieces of evidence that support your conclusion.
Complete Task
Hints
Hint #1
Do any of the suspects have any allergies?
Hint #2
Read the "Forensic Analysis Report" carefully. What was Summer's killer wearing when they killed Summer?
Hint #3
The forensic analysis report tells us Summer's killer wore KGX gloves.
What do we know about KGX gloves? Is KGX mentioned anywhere else besides the forensic analysis report?
Hint #4
There is an ad for "KGX" on the back of the Mercy Hospital Staff Schedule. What does the ad say about what material(s) KGX uses in their gloves?
Hint #5
The KGX ad tells us that KGX only makes latex gloves.
Read the "Mercy Hospital Discharge Summary" carefully.
Hint #6
The Mercy Hospital discharge summary mentions Luna's allergies. Can you connect any of Luna's allergies to the ad for KGX gloves and the Forensic Analysis Report?
Hint #7/Answer
Luna is allergic to latex, but we know Summer's killer wore latex gloves. We can eliminate Luna.
The relevant pieces of evidence are: Mercy Hospital Discharge Summary (mentions Luna's latex allergy), the Forensic Analysis Report (tells us that Summer's killer wore KGX gloves), and the Mercy Hospital Staff Schedule (there's an ad on the back that says KGX only manufactures latex gloves).
