Report
In the “Documents” folder, .xls file is found which give information about Sylvia’s bank account
and other financial details. It is evident that Sylvia had assets of the huge worth of
$2,796,000.00. In the folder, a file name “suicide.txt” is also found, which says “I just can’t go
any longer. Someone has to help me.”
The suicide note found in the file “suicide1.txt” gives information to the investigator that the
scenario is suicide and is not a murder. But the evidence (Sylvia assets.xls and suicide1.txt)
might confuse the investigator because it is not providing any reason to the investigator for the
suicide of Sylvia.
