Warning This Section Does Contain Spoilers

The Private Investigators letter gave us a website and password for a shared desktop for us that will help us in our investigation. There are several things on this website including a folder for Spotify with a playlist of songs, a folder of "To Organise" items, a Plan of Action, Evidence Checklist, Gin Recipes, and a Deviant Tracker. Conveniently he has given us a checklist for what to do during the investigation. 

• Conduct witness statement

1. Do not take their accounts at face value
   
2. Find supporting evidence
   

• Create approximate timeline based off statements
  

1. Fill in gaps as evidence comes in
   

• Track suspects' movements using timeline, scaled map, etc.
  
• Check status of autopsy and toxicology
  
• Get all waivers and legal forms signed ASAP
  
• Gather proof to support alibis
  

1. Search: house, car, place of employment
   
2. Question: relatives, friends, employers, bystanders
   
3. Access: security cams, email, digital logs, etc
   

• Study autopsy, cross reference with photos
  
• Study toxicology, cross reference with autopsy
  
• Start eliminating suspects
• Make the arrest
