CSI-Gamer

A skeleton has been found at a construction site. The area is rumored to be a sacred burial ground of the Southern Paiute Indians. When the worker’s found the remains with the backhoe, CSI was called in to investigate.

In this case, you’re helping Sara Sidle [looking kinda ghosty in this case?]. Greg Saunders is also invaluable, so be sure to humour him this time.

Grissom gives you the address to the DIG SITE, so head there.

Meet and talk to the land owner and contractor, Eliot Lansdown. Then check out the site.

PIT AREA – lots of evidence to collect here.
1) Notice the dark soil patch left of the bones. Take a sample in your adhesive mount [jar]
2) Check out the skull. Zoom in with the scope on the eye socket. See the bits of glass? Use the tweezers to pick up the modern looking fragments.
3) Check out the left hand area. Use your brush and your gentle archaeology hands to reveal more of the arm and hand. Scope the pointer finger and find a thread. Pick up the tread.

Left of the pit area is a mound near a tree.
In the TREE, look at the nest. Sara’s fear of bad karma keeps you from picking it up at this time.
Near the MOUND of dirt to the right of the tree, notice some things…
1) tire treads in the ground. Cast the treads.
2) Notice an arrowhead in the ground. Pick it up.

Now I go to Doc Robbins in the MORGUE and ask him to recover the skeleton. After, I ask Doc all the questions (and get a brain video). Doc will give you a mitochondrial DNA [mDNA] sample from the skeleton and a sinus x-ray. If you missed the thread and glass you can look at the body to get them now.

I now go to BRASS and ask him about the history of the site.

LAB- get your great teammate Greg to process evidence and cast doubt on the site being a sacred burial ground.

MICROSCOPE- examine the thread and glass. Hopefully we will soon find things to compare them to.

COMPUTER-
1) search the tread [too messy, have to find something to compare it to]
2) search the DNA sample you got from the victim [no matches yet]
3) search the sinus x-ray. This give you an ID- Freddy Sloan who has a rap sheet and tons of aliases

BRASS- will can now do several things:
1) call an archaeologist [who will take awhile to arrive)
2) give more info on the case- a psychic is stirring up the media. He’ll give you the address to Madame Lazora’s parlour.
3) Do a background search on the dig site ownership, and get you the address to Adam Kilborn, the previous owner.

I go to the PARLOUR first. Talk to Madame Stella Lazora. Remember to be nice to her as she has lots of information for you (though not all at once ). She will let you look around her parlour.

PARLOUR evidence:
1) crystal ball- haha Sara very funny
2) carpet (right of Lazora)- find a loose thread. Tweezer a sample of thread.
3) Look at the shelf behind Lazora and see lots of lighter fluid containers. (you don’t do anything with them).

Go to VISTA COURT (Adam Kilborn’s apartment). Talk to a very snarky Adam.

Return to BRASS and get some info on Kilborn.

Then go to the LAB- give carpet sample to Greg. Check it out in the microscope.. does it match? :P

Return again to BRASS and get a warrant to look at Adam’s apartment. [you might be able to get it before you check the carpet sample.]

VISTA COURT. Adam’s gone, so look around- you have a warrant after all
Evidence:
1) Statue on floor. Luminol the base and pick it up.
2) Paper on the box next to where the statue was. Read the Soap Sculptures of America [SSA] letter. Pick up.
3) Check out the computer area. Pick up the back up tape.
4) Look at the shelf right of the computer desk. Pick up the hatchet artifact.

Go visit Greg in the LAB, giving him the new evidence from Adam’s apartment. Post Ching dynasty, huh?

COMPUTER searches…
1) search Statue DNA. Match anything? :(
2) search tape- find Land assessment on it that says the land is of no value. GREG will interrupt with some information- a photo from the rest of the tape.
3) Search the reject letter for a name- the owner of SSA is “Dale Edison”

MICROSCOPE- check out the photo Greg gave you.

Go to the DIG SITE.

Someone new has arrived- John Montana, the Pauite “expert” archaeologist from UNLV. Talk to him about arriving so quickly, the arrowhead, the site, etc.

Talk to Eliot Lansdown about the site history.

The “Junk box” appears with some things to collect…
1) broken watch [look at it and then pick up]
2) burnt bat. Pick it up. Examine the bat more closely by double clicking on it in your inventory. UV light the bat to see if there is signs of accelerant. Examine the bat with the scope. At the top of the bat, find some glass. Use tweezers to pick them up.

I check back with Madame Lazora in her PARLOUR to see if she has anything else to say. She’s handy

LAB- give Greg the new stuff. When you give him the bat, you should see a video of a bonfire/evidence burning. [if not, UV light the bat again]

MICROSCOPE-
1) match the glass pieces from the bat and skull. Guess what, the diopter [measurements match the watch too]
2) look at the mystery man photo again- Guess Who! It zooms in on the watch… seen it before?

Go bug Madame Lazora again in her PARLOUR about names.

BRASS- check out aliases for Eddie Sloan.

I visit Doc Robbins in the MORGUE now to see if he has more info for me. See a violent bat beating video.

Return to the DIG SITE. Talk to John Montana about doing the land assessment and a trailer office.

Go to BRASS and se if he can get you the address and warrant for John’s trailer.

TRAILER OFFICE

OUTSIDE- collect some evidence…
1) tires- adhesive lift tread impression
2) near the top of the trailer is some substance. Swab it for a sample.

INSIDE- more evidence to collect…
1) inspect the carpet in the middle of the room. Collect sample [you get a sample from the new and old carpet] with tweezers.
2) Look at the shovel. Swab the blood stain.
3) Look in the open cupboard. What is it with these soap sculptures? [look at only]
4) Check out the wall but the sink. Off colour, you think? Luminol spray it… and get a sample of blood some one tried to wash off.

Return to the DIG SITE. Ask John Montana about soap sculptures, which everyone seems to like making.

LAB- give Greg the trailer evidence. Note the swab from the outside of the trailer… Red Breasted Nuthatch, huh?

MICROSCOPE-
1) match the carpet threads from the trailer old carpet to the one found on the victim.

COMPUTER-
1) search new tread and then compare it to the tread cast from the site.
2) DNA compare the trailer shovel blood and the victim’s blood.

Go to the DIG SITE and collect the bird’s nest. Not worried about karma anymore, are you, Sara?

Give Greg the bird’s nest in the LAB. Hey the species match! This means that trailer was probably at the site at some time.

BRASS- get John Montana info interrogation. [If you can’t at this time, check Doc, Madame Lazora, and Eliot Lansdown for any questions you might have withstanding. If you followed this word for word, there shouldn’t be any questions left, but you never know ].
… hmm.. seems like we have to show that Adam Kilborn gave John Montana the trailer…

BRASS- get Adam Kilborn in for interrogation. You get a DNA sample from Adam at the end.

LAB- get Greg to put Adam’s DNA into the computer.

COMPTUER- match Adam’s DNA to the blood from the statue.

BRASS- get Adam Kilborn in for interrogation again. Adam concedes how he dispatched the conniving Eddie Sloan, aka Dale Edison, the evil owner of Soap Sculptures of America, etc. John Montana gives archaeologist a bad name too.

Congrats on finishing case 3! Do the tricky quiz [did you pay attention to the numbers and colours? ] and move on to case 4 …
