Who "Done it" VilleCreated by the Syracuse University Project

Advanced Forensic Chemistry Class

Storyline:• The Grinch wanted to help the community and his friends during the Christmas

season so he created a list of activities he could do over the next few weeks

• The Grinch walked around the town square to complete his errands for the day

� After completing his errands, he went home and got in his car so he could drive to the other side of town to visit his parents

� When he reached an intersection, his brakes failed and the car crashed

� The Grinch died upon collision

� An investigation into his death found that his brake wires were cut

� The police used a schedule taped to his fridge to piece together exactly where he had gone that day
