861 Words4 Pages

An emergency call comes in at 9:45 am from Doug Greene. He discloses that his neighbor and recently ended love interest, Anna Garcia, a well developed thirty-eight-year-old hispanic has been skipping routinely morning walks and that the last time he saw her was at 6:30 am on August 13th. Since her dogs were unusually barking, it sparked concern in Greene. The call brought police to Garcia’s home who found her dead lying face down on her entry hallway at 9:56 am. It is 10:20 am on August 14th when police are securing the crime scene.

If the death was unnatural, he would be a top suspect, because he was seen with Garcia the night before her death discussing paperwork. He is in fact, Garcia’s former husband and remarried to Piedmont soon after the falling apart of their relationship. During the autopsy, Garcia had her ring on the right hand, signifying that there was no tension between the two. There hasn’t been much on Piedmont, but she was seen parked outside Garcia’s house the night before her death as well. There is a chance that Garcia’s death could bring a solution to the recent financial troubles they’ve been having. On the other hand, Lucy Lettingwell was Garcia’s best friend and co-owner of their bakery. She noted Garcia’s back pain and unwillingness to take prescribed antibiotics. Lettingwell’s only motive would be the ability to own the bakery to herself with Garcia’s death. Expounding on the bakery, Garcia was overweight for her age being 64 inches tall and weighing at 165 pounds. This could just be from genetics, but the process of overeating and indigestion could’ve in the end, led to her
