A hispanic female named Anna Garcia who was 38 years of age, was found dead on the date of August 14, 2015 in Anytown, U.S.A. She was 64 inches in height and 165 pounds. The case of Anna Garcia first began on a hot, 92°F summer morning.

Being that he had not seen or heard from her since the previous morning, he called her, then went over to her house to make sure nothing was wrong. Both the police and EMT arrived at 9:56 am. When questioned by police, Greene informed them that he had seen her the previous morning around 6:30 am walking her dog. He also stated that he saw her wearing a sweater, which was found odd because of the current heat wave. The front door had to be broken down in order to enter the house.
