Fill out all of your answers within this document. Please note: the case we are examining for this assignment is the same case we examined for assignment 8. You may want to go back to assignment 8 to refresh your memory on the case, the key individuals, etc. This will help you better understand what you’re seeing when you begin to examine phone and bank records and may help you come up with new investigative leads or theories on this investigation.

1. Conclusions (patterns) Tiffany was lying about not knowing Steve they’ve had a ton of contact for long & short periods of time. Tiffany and Steve had a ton of communication between the two of them suggesting the activities between the two is true. Steve is the one who reached out to Harrisons investigator. Reached out to Anthony after the fight & days before the murder. He probably went to DC and why people can’t find him. 2. Recommendations (where to take this case from here/what should law enforcement do/what other information do you want to know?) Find out why Steve has been using his mother’s phone? Does he have his own cell phone? Find his cell phone records if he does have his own phone? Find out who the unknown number is? G. Thompson? J. Stevenson? and the unknown person? And the connection that they have to Steve?

202.211.6659 Daniel Morris 304.218.0063 Harrison Investigations 304.288.4174 G. Thompson 304.654.7888 Tiffany Jones 304.655.2120 Smith Tuxedos 304.656.1234 Anthony Brown 304.659.4011 J. Stevenson Part 2: Financial Analysis Examine the bank records for Smith Tuxedos contained in the Excel sheet (found on Brightspace in the folder for this week). Use the bank record analysis worksheet on the following page to help you organize the information. You will look at the Excel sheet in order to calculate the information you will include on the worksheet. Look for the starting balance in Excel, calculate the amount of all of the deposits made, calculate the amount of all of the withdrawals made and then calculate the ending balance. For sources of income you can look at sales receipts and cash deposits and calculate the totals for both of those categories. For payees you will examine who Smith Tuxedoes is paying and can see which payments are looking in the memo category (there are only two). For facilities expenses you will be looking at what payments Smith Tuxedoes is making to remain open (think about power, telephone, etc.). For other business you can include salaries and other expenses that you don’t think meet any of the above categories. Finally, include if there are any transfers made, ATM withdrawals or other payments, and then identify if you see any patterns. Develop your critical questions, conclusions, and recommendations and note them below. 1. Critical questions Why did salaries increase? Why did they have so many insufficient funds? Why were they not paying bills at the beginning of the month? Why did they have a storage unit for one month? 2. Conclusions They were very inconsistent with their money. They spend a lot of money on vendors. 3. Recommendation Investigate where their deposits were coming from. Investigate why they raised their incomes.
