Question
POSSIBLE POINTS: 10
Scenario:

On Friday a female's body was found in the stairwell of her apartment building. The woman had been robbed and badly beaten but was expected to live. Witnesses reported seeing a possible suspect running down the stairs. The suspect was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt. The security guard reported not seeing anyone come into the complex in a dark hoodie since the weather was warm. Therefore, investigators believe that the suspect may have already been inside the apartment complex. Police obtained a warrant to collect clothing samples from suspects that live in the building. The evidence was collected, packaged, and sent to the lab for analysis. Lab analysis recorded the data provided in the chart.

Prompt: Create a claim stating which suspect best matches the crime scene evidence. Use appropriate evidence from the data table and your lesson as well as scientific reasoning to support your claim. In your response be sure to also explain whether or not other suspects should be ruled out and justify how strong of a link can be formed based on the fiber evidence (class or individual characteristics).
