The Empty Vial

This creative project is about the investigation conducted by Detectives Madison Fox and Mia Katz into the series of murders orchestrated by Professor Grimm at ChemScholars Institute. Professor Grimm uses his botany expertise to locate toxic plants all over the college campus, which he uses to kill the students who mock him, creating a reign of terror. The detectives use toxicology, forensic science, crime scene reports, and autopsy reports to solve the puzzle. An essential part of the investigation is toxicological analysis, which is used to detect toxic substances in the bodies of the victims and link their deaths to Professor Grimm's botanical knowledge. Forensic examination of the crime scenes provides evidence of the traces of poisonous plants found at the murder scene as well as the traces of toxins, and this helps in the reconstruction of how the crime occurred. Fox and Katz combine the various disciplines of forensic science to solve the case, bringing the professor to justice in the end. The interdisciplinary cooperation they demonstrated shows the importance of working together to pursue truth and justice, providing closure for the families of the victims.
