Upon arriving at work on Thursday morning, July 12, 2001, Hugh discovers that his beloved, brand new laptop computer has been stolen. Attempting to avoid working from home the previous day, he had left the laptop in the office of Shodor, assuming that it would be safe. Hugh finds himself on the verge of despair when he realizes that the Forensic Science 2001 Workshop is in full-swing. He rushes into the classroom and gives an emotional plea for the students to help in the search for the missing laptop.
During the first day of the investigation, at approximately lunchtime, a Shodor staff member falls to the floor and is taken away in an ambulance. It is later determined by the lab that she was poisoned. Now the investigation must solve a murder as well!
The case is now in the hands of the students. They must not only look for the laptop, but also for evidence that will lead them to the stolen computer. If and when they find the computer, they will examine the evidence they find at the scene of the crime to help in catching a criminal. They must gather data and evidence using the proper channels through the Shodor Judical System.
