Keturah Laney, chapel assistant at Westminster College, was factiously "murdered" in the Tower Room of Old Main last week. The class has spent hours collecting evidence from the crime scene, and will not only display the evidence, but will make a shocking arrest.
"Keturah was found on the floor of Old Main's tower room April 27 at approximately 2 p.m.," said Dr. Helen Boylan, assistant professor of chemistry at Westminster College. "The crime scene unit of the class arrived at the scene shortly thereafter, and began processing the scene. They questioned witnesses, interrogated suspects. The laboratory unit processed and analyzed the evidence, and a crew of broadcasting majors from the class put together 'live' footage from the scene. The circumstantial evidence points to one surprising suspect!"
"Forensics is a great way to explore the principles of science, especially for non-science majors," Boylan said. "It is something that we can all relate to because we see forensics in the news, in major court cases, and on prime-time television. That makes it a science that is accessible for everyone."
The investigation is open to the public. For more information, contact Boylan at (724) 946-6293 or e-mail boylanhm@westminster.edu.
