Based on the information you learned in the video, consider the following scenario and address the questions. You are

called to the scene of a convenience store where the clerk has been found with a gunshot wound to the head and is

deceased in the back supply room. Upon initial investigation, nothing appears to be out of order other than the cash

register is open and there is no money inside it$.$ It appears the store has video, but you are unable to access the

computer, so you call for the manager.

In the meantime, consider the following.

What potential crinte$($s$)$ has occurred?

Is it possible that no crime has occurred?

How do you protect the crime scene, and how does your initial evaluation guide your investigation?

After the manager arrives and you're able to watch the video, the clerk in fact has'committed suicide and is laying

the pistol. Approximately $15$ minutes after the suicide, a patron comes into the store and when he sees there is no

clerk, he opens the register and empties the contents.

Now what crime do you have? Does it change the way you preserve and process the scene?
