Police Report

As we arrived at the house of Arthur and Queenie Volupides at about 2:00 AM on January 1st, 2012. We found Arthur Volupides lying on the floor with his head at the bottom of the stairs. His wife Queenie claims that he came down for another drink and she also claims that he fell down the stairs. The evidence that we collected goes to the obvious answers. The evidence that we collected support our answers.

Looking in the background you could see a pan with food on it cooking. Going back to what Queenie said: she invited her friends from the Country Club for another drink, not snack or something related to that. As a rule people don’t normally cook at 1:00 AM in the morning. Secondly by looking at what Queenie said and Arthurs body position it doesn’t seem like Queenie is telling the truth. One of the evidences is that by looking at his body position we could tell that he was walking up the stairs. If you look closely we could see that his right foot was on the 3rd step and his left foot on the 2nd step. This also indicates that he was walking up the stairs. As a rule when you’re lying on your back you would probably be walking up the stairs. Thirdly if you look closely at Arthur's hand he is still holding his glass. As a rule whenever people fall they let go of any items in their hands. As Queenie said Arthur was coming down not going up.

We could see that nothing on the wall beside the stairs or on the stairs was disturbed/misplaced.Which makes it unlikely that he fell from the stairs. Also Arthur is still holding a glass in his hands. Which Queenie told us that he was coming down for another drink. As a rule when people fall they drop whatever they’re holding and try to grab other things to prevent them from hurting themselves and falling. If he protected himself he would’ve injured other body parts that helped him from preventing to fall. Which is strange because the autopsy stated that he only had a wound on the back of his head.

Using the evidences that we found on the scene including the use of general rules about what is wrong about these evidences, we can conclude that Queenie wasn’t telling the truth. We have supporting evidences from the scene, like Arthur’s body position and and also the objects around him. It doesn’t match what would happen normally. To finish this conclusion, we would like to say that Queenie killed Arthur, in a smart way. She used the frying pan that she used for cooking to hit Arthur in the back, that is why he has only has a bruise on the back of his head. Then he used the pan for cooking as a cover so it doesn’t look as if she hit Arthur. Also that she put a glass on his hand to look as if he is going for a refill. That is what we think happened based on the evidences that we found on the crime scene.
