Jack Harrison? Email

Re: Jack Harrison? Email

[Ethernull]

Sounds as if Narrator9 knows the Deceased Person. He refers to him as "Jack", not "Mr. Harrison" or "the D.P." as is standard. Might want to interview Narrator9 as your first suspect...

[audioslave]

Oh, cool. I got this too. Don't I feel special.

And I doubt narrator9 is a viable suspect, why bring attention to your own crime? (well, with the except of a serial killer who craves attention)

[Rogi Ocnorb]

I got the email, too.

Made to look like it originated in the UK, but I think It's from somewhat further "south" than that.


I'll probably not be involved very much as I'm just not real big on chat.
Those that like to interact via MSN/IRC should give it a go.

Got mine too

I didn't get one.

Find WisdomWarrior or JamesBlond. Both would be very entertaining to watch interview someone.

While I would like to get involved, I will probably be working on the days and times in which the interviews are conducted (would be nice to have this kind of thing spread out evenly throughout the day to get more people involved, but ah well).

Just from seeing what I have read about the crime, this was someone who knew Jack personally. This was a "revenge" killing. For what, I do not know. However, this was not someone who was in love with Jack. I would need more information about the layout of the body, it's location, etc. to get a better understanding of the scene of the crime and the killers' motivations, but what I have to work with so far is not much.

EDIT: Sent an e-mail with multiple questions. Hopefully most of them will get answered. Also, I forgot to ask what kind of drugs were found in Jack's system and if there were any bruise marks on his body (from possibly being restrained in order to insert a needle into his arm... you get the point). So, if someone could be so kind as to ask him for me, that would be great. I have already asked him 7 questions and it might look bad if I start asking some more so soon.

EDIT#2: Also, if someone could also ask if there were red dots under the bottom of Jack's eyelids (a sign that he had been strangled), that would be very helpfull. One more thing and then I'll never edit again: There is a bone in the throat that is crushed when someone is choked to death. I forget the name of it, but it would be nice to know if that bone was in tact or broken. Many thanks.

EDIT#3: Okay, I lied... I have another question that will need to be asked. We would need to know the exact cause of death. Yeah, I know that he was stabbed many times and that can kill someone. However, so can an overdose on drugs. Without knowing the exact cause, it will be hard to get the right questions to ask together and develope a timeline for each suspect.

Also, how many times will we be able to interview each suspect? I mean, if some stories don't match, it woul d be nice to be able to talk to each suspect again to clear things up.

Got my response as well:

I suspect they'll tell us more when it begins

Also, stab wounds would indicate that it's a crime of revenge or it could a more intimate crime. Because it's a stabbing and not, say, a shooting, chances are that the killer knew the victim and made the killing really personal by getting up close. Also, the fact that it was a flat says that the killer had a key or broke in, but either way they knew where it was and probably chose it specifically. Chances are that this was pre-meditated, judging by the amount of wounds and the area (though it's possible that it was a crime of oppourtunity, depending on where the wounds are and weither or not the body was moved) So this could be a crime of passion (as in a jealous ex, or something along those lines). There's also the possiblity that it was a gang hit, too, but it's hard to tell with things like that

I will try to "take a stab" (pun intended) at telling you why it is not a "crime of passion", as they say.

People who kill someone that they love take care of the body. This could be done in many forms such as putting a pillow under their head, closing the eyelids of the victim, placing the body in a more comfortable position, putting a towel over the victims face, placing a towel around the victims neck before strangling(sp?) them, etc.

You will also hardly ever see multiple stab wounds on a victim when the person who killed them was in love with them. The wounds, if any, will be "to the point". Take the OJ Simpson case for example (yeah, I know, he didn't do it, blah, blah, blah). Nicole Simpson had one large cut along her throat and a few defensive wounds. Ron Goldman, on the other hand, had a more "brutal" attack, with multiple stab and defensive wounds.

Even a relative can cause the victim to have multiple stab wounds. There is a recent case where a son stabbed his mother multiple times (36 to be exact). This was not a "crime of passion", this was a "revenge killing" (or what some would term a "crime of hatred").

Basically, the more brutal the attack, the more away from a "crime of passion" you get.

And as far "being hard to tell with things like that", that just is not true. There is a lot that a crime scene can tell you about the crime itself without even having to go into things like DNA. You just need to know more about the victim to put the whole picture into greater focus.

EDIT: (another reply)

[audioslave]

Ok, let me clarify a few things...

[ItWasntMeISwear]

Points taken and noted. Certainly glad we cleared that up.

[audioslave]

[enaxor]

I say all seven people stabbed him.
