EVIDENCE FOLDER · D07 · TUESDAY 2026-09-15
RESPAWN: the frames your records name
Respawn, an e-sports lounge with a smoothie counter. Case JH-26-0831-B. Period 6A-7B. Today's lesson: Analyze the trace evidence.
Why this folder opened today
Today's comparison works from written feature records, not from new scene frames. What this folder carries forward is the frame each compared item came out of: the hairs on the blanket or the storeroom floor, and the surfaces the print lifts were taken from. A feature record tells you what a hair looks like. The frame tells you where it was.
No new frame was taken today. This folder carries forward 5 plates from D06, covering the 3 items today's records work from, plus the measured scene sketch. They are the same frames, not new ones.
Read this before you use a plate
These plates are drawings, made from the written case record. Not one of them is a photograph. That matters for the exact reason your reading gives: a photo reference is a pointer to a frame, and a frame is not an identification. A plate shows you where an item was and what the record says about it. It cannot tell you what a stain is.
Where the record does not supply something, the plate leaves it missing on purpose. A dashed boundary with EXTENT NOT RECORDED means the record never gave that area a size, so there is nothing on that plate to measure. Copy the status, not a guess.
Carried forward from D06
Today's records work from items that were already documented. Their frames are repeated here so this folder holds everything today needs, on screen and on paper. They are the same frames, released on 2026-09-14, not new ones.
