1. Who Killed Mrs. Godfrey? ENG4C – Unit One Summative Assignment

2. The Scenario  On the morning of Tuesday, September 24 th, the body of Roland Michener Secondary School teacher, Mrs. Cailin Godfrey, was found in room 207 at Roland Michener Secondary School.  The body was found by 1 st shift custodian Ms. Yvonne Bernatchez at approximately 6:00 am, the morning of Tuesday, September 24 th, 2013.  Due to the physical signs of rigor mortis, the special forensics team places the time of death within the last 12 hours.  Crime Scene Detectives could not arrive on the scene until approximately 9:00 am on Tuesday, September 24 th where the scene had remained untouched (minus the body of the victim which had already been taken to the coroner for an autopsy and toxicology report).

3. The Crime Scene - SKETCH

4. Notes taken from the room 207 1Blood-type evidence collected and ruled inconclusive as blood-typing is not an accurate substitution for DNA. 2Footprints appear to be from the 207 teacher, Mrs. Olaveson, and are deemed irrelevant. 3Finger prints are random - …. 4Fiber seems consistent with green jersey. Send for testing 5Two weapons used: 6Volleyball roster seems suspicious 7Love letter from a J. Toby – prime suspect – must be found and interviewed. 8Compile list of suspects and interview 9C. Godfrey’s ghostly testimony

5. Questions to Ponder (???)  Crime Scene doesn’t add up! No prints/blood evidence from the same person on all essential evidence. Need to talk to C. Olaveson about the classroom prior to murder.  Room locked – who has keys? – Janis, Chris, John  Murder weapon(s) moved from where they were used  Two people? Connections?  Obvious love letter? Volleyball Roster? Minor signs of struggle inconsistent with crime scene. Planted???  MOTIVE???? Need to interview Tobys!

6. INTERVIEWS C. Olaveson: 1Electrical Cord was in the file cabinet prior to the murder 2Shot put was on top of the counter behind the computer desk 3The garbage belongs to the room – should have been emptied by custodian 4The door is always locked – would need keys to get in/out 5All other items seemed consistent

7. INTERVIEWS Continued J. Donovan 1friends with the victim. 2consistent alibi 3unlikely to commit murder over unpaid volleyball position L. Callegari 1volleyball player/former student 2failed class 3no keys – no keys reported stolen 4happy with victim as coach

8. Interviews Continued C. Clark 1no alibi 2scorned lover – time frame is unusual (10+ years) 3no knowledge of love letter L. Toby 1has two kids 2no keys for 207 3knew of affair/believed it to be over 4admitted to writing the love letter to see if husband’s affair was really over.

9. PRIME SUSPECT! J. Toby

10. DOPE D – Thinks C. Godfrey was trying to end the relationship. Cared for her “very much” O – Has keys, knows the classroom, inconsistent alibi P – Lies!!! Aggressive personality. Cheating on his wife with two kids. Drinking problem. E – fibers found on victims body. Letter was stolen from L. Toby’s home.

11. Chronology C. Godfrey was working in 207 late Monday evening. In a drunken stupor, J. Toby drove to the school to confront her about their relationship. C. Godfrey, excited to see him, welcomed him cheerily. J. Toby verbally attacked C. Godfrey – claiming she was ending their relationship. C. Godfrey exclaimed “no I didn’t” J. Toby grabbed C. Godfrey and pushed her. The chair she was sitting on tipped over, causing her to fall backwards and hit her head on the shot put on the counter. While unconscious, J. Toby retrieved the extension cord from the file cabinet drawer and strangled C. Godfrey to finish the job. J. Toby then manipulated the crime scene by dumping out the volleyball roster, planting the love letter, hiding the murder weapons, and leaving the scene of the crime.
