  1. The Puzzling Case of Mole Airlines, Flight 1023

  2. At 6:02 am you and your team of medical examiners are called to the scene of an airplane crash in a remote location. The plane shows evidence of a precrash explosion. Ten victims are found at the scene, but none are identifiable by witnesses or by dental records, or DNA evidence. One victim was murdered prior to the plane crash. The flight manifest shows the names and some information about the victims.

  3. Part one …. The plane itself Click here to see the evidence from the plane Click here to view evidence from victim #1

  4. A section of the plane has been blown apart by an explosion. It appears as if the explosion happened before the crash. Click here to see the analysis of the compounds sampled from the area of the explosion.

  5. Residue from the explosion site shows the following elemental analysis: 37.01 % carbon 2.22 % hydrogen 18.50 % nitrogen 42.27 % oxygen Click here to see the list of possible compounds Click here to return to the plane Click here to view the flight manifest Click here to view evidence from victim #1

  18. Final Report: • Use the data for each victim to determine the empirical formulas and identify each compound found in, on, or with each victim and at the crash site. SHOW ALL WORK!!! • Use the flight manifest information and the compound information to make a probable identification of each victim. • Determine who was murdered and who was the murderer. • As a forensic scientist that has investigated the crash, it is necessary to submit a report (350 – 500 words) that • a) suggests a motive for the murderer; • b) possibilities as to how the other passengers fit into the scenario; • c) origins and final destinations of the passengers.
