The Case of Ophelia

Upon reaching the crime scene, we noticed all the death that had occurred in the lives of these people. However, one death in particular took us into question. "Was Ophelia murdered or did she commit suicide?" was the question that my team leading the investigation thought. We brought in Horatio for some questioning, but he seemed to not know that much.

As we investigated the death of Ophelia, we were told by Horatio about a book that Hamlet had been writing and kept that represented all that was going on the night of the deaths and murders. Hamlet had been writing it in the form of a play, and the last parts were written by Horatio to "finish the story." We read over everything in the book, but noticed the lack of detail on Ophelia's death. A woman is dead, and we have hardly any people alive to question. Horatio stated that he did not know much about the situation, and what he did know wasn't helpful to our case.

The part in Hamlet's story that took us by surprise was the queen's involvment in Ophelia's death. The Queen is obviously dead, but we wanted to figure out how we could find the truth rather than assume that the Queen did it. After further look into the crime scene where we found Ophelia, we found a pair of shoes that belonged to the Queen. Now we know that she was there, but did she really kill Ophelia? Looking further into the autopsy, we found sign of struggle on the back of Ophelia's neck. Now we just had to figure out who forced her struggle.

My team went back to the medical examiner's office, but our pathologist could not find the Queen's body. As we approached the bed she was laying in, the pathologist pointed out bloody footprints walking to the bathroom. I got everyone to stand back while i walked in the bathroom with my gun drawn, but no one was in there. There was no trace of her leaving or what happened to her body. This case will now forever be a mystery to our team...
