Moove Mystery SlidesMoove Mystery INCIDENT REPORT #2026-SCHOOL 90-Minute Rapid Response Investigation The Scene Brief Location: School Front Entrance Target: Moove Challenge Trophy "The trophy vanished between Saturday's 9-2 session and Monday morning. Security cameras were offline. Rain on Friday night left the parking lot mud ready to capture every move the thief made..." Negative Evidence ZERO usable fingerprints recovered. This suspect wiped the scene clean or wore gloves. We rely only on impressions. Priority One Footwear & Tire Data Document circular tread patterns and wide-track vehicle impressions in the maintenance lot before they dry. Suspect Profile Log Mr. Gable IISD Custodian. Had unrestricted access during Saturday School (9-2). Vehicle: IISD Van Casey Cross Saturday School Student. Seen near the trophy case at 11:30 AM. Vehicle: Scooter "Rusty" Rickard Local Scrapper. Spotted looking at the maintenance bins Saturday PM. Vehicle: Old Flatbed Mission Objectives Phase 1: Field • Document Shoe Prints • Measure Track Width • Sketch Tool Pry Marks Phase 2: Lab • Soil & Fiber Analysis • Wheelbase Matching • Final CER Profile Solve it in 90 Minutes

Moove Mystery ManualMoove Mystery Manual Full 90-Minute Forensic Procedure (Periods 2 & 7) Rapid Response Timeline (90 min) 00-15m: The Briefing: Saturday School story reveal & suspect profiles (Slides). 15-50m: Field Response: Head to maintenance lot. Secure footwear prints & tire tracks. Sketch tool marks. 50-75m: Lab Rotation: Analyze soil pH and blue fibers snagged on the trophy case. 75-90m: Final CER: Draft Scientific Argument and confirm IISD Staff match. Forensic Protocols 1 Impression Collection Document the Track Width (center-to-center). Maintenance vans are typically 165cm. Student sedans are narrower. Search for industrial-lug footwear patterns. 2 Trace Evidence Recovery Blue fibers found at the trophy case are polyester/industrial grade. pH of mud at the loading dock is highly specific due to sidewalk salt usage. 3 Tool Mark Visuals Do not fit suspect tools into scene marks. Use the Pry Mark Sketch area of the worksheet to match specific metal edge deformation. III. Preliminary Field Notes Initial Observations (Field state, evidence stability): Scene Temperature/Weather: Contamination Risks: Teacher Only IISD Staff Investigation Target Suspect: Mr. Gable Mr. Gable is the intended culprit for both periods. The "repeat procedure" ensures both 2nd and 7th periods experience the full field documentation. Ensure the "mud puddle" by the exit remains damp for the 7th period session. The CER Hook Challenge students to use the Negative Evidence (no fingerprints) in their CER reasoning. A student (Casey) wouldn't typically have the professional foresight to wipe every surface—but a custodian with ammonia rags would.
Moove Mystery Answer KeyAnswer Key CASE: MISSING MOOVE CHALLENGE TROPHY | FULL LAB KEY FACILITATOR ONLY Primary Suspect: Mr. Gable (IISD Staff) As a campus custodian, Mr. Gable had Saturday access. The "negative evidence" (wiped fingerprints) and "industrial tool marks" point to a professional with access to industrial ammonia and 1/2" trade tools. Technical Evidence Red Clay Soil: Mud from the maintenance dock (Crime Scene) matches red clay transfer on Mr. Gable's van floorboards (pH 6.2). Blue Fibers: SNAG: Blue polyester industrial threads found at the display case match Gable's cleaning cart rags. Van Track: 165 cm wheelbase. Matches the Maintenance Van exactly (excludes scooter and Rickard's truck). Impression Evidence Tire Wear: Scene tracks show uneven outer-rib wear (camber issue), matching Mr. Gable's front-right van tire. Footwear: Circular industrial lug pattern matches steel-toe work boots. US Size 11 (31.5 cm length). Tool Mark: Pry marks indicate a 1/2" flathead screwdriver with a chipped left corner (Gable's toolbox). CER Model Reasoning (Sample) Evidence: The track width at the scene was measured at 165cm and the fingerprints were professionally wiped clean. Reasoning: A 165cm track width uniquely identifies a utility van, excluding the scooter (no tracks) and scrapper truck (175cm). Furthermore, the total absence of fingerprints indicates the use of industrial cleaning agents like those found on Mr. Gable's custodian cart. This suggests the suspect had both the vehicle specs and the specialized materials to hide their identity during the 9-2 school session. Suspect Exclusion Summary Casey Cross: Student waffle soles are distinct from circular lugs. Scooters leave 5-8cm tracks, not 165cm wide patterns. "Rusty" Rickard: Scrapper's truck wheelbase is 175cm (too wide). Hiking boot vibram patterns differ from industrial lug evidence.
