Murder On School Campus!

Last week, the Ridgway Christian School science classes offered kids of all ages to come and be investigators for a night. Two different crime scene scenarios were offered: an investigation of a messy art room and a murder scene. Though the murder scene was staged, the kids still had a blast! :)
The first crime scene scenario, offered to the elementary students, was a trashed art room. The participants studied the clues in the messy art room. They then went to booths like footprint analysis and fiber analysis to try and solve the crime! It turns out that it was simply a raccoon who trashed the art room.
The second crime scene scenario, offered to the high school students, was a "murder" scene. The scene included a Mercedes with a blood-stained interior that was also filled with different clues. Footprints all around the car helped us determine who the "murderer" was. There were four suspects: Cole Caine, Esther Coli, Ben Dover, and Eileen Dover. The participants were allowed to go to interview the suspects, as well as go to booths like the elementary students did.
The "murderer"? Cole Caine, of course.
