2. Fire Investigator Roth #2 Investigation: Stage 1 Fire Investigator Fire Investigation Report: I, Fire Investigator David Lee Finnigan Roth (Finny) #01223 of the Spokane Fire Department, responded to a fire located at the Sherwood Warehouse located at 1012 W 3rd Ave. in Spokane. I arrived at the location at approximately 0245 hours on 05/06/2024 on a report of a fire. My duties include issuing permits and enforcing the fire code, including any necessary premises inspection, and includes investigation of the cause of fires to determine potential arson. Upon arrival, I saw that other fire personnel were on scene including Engine Companies #3 and #4 conducting an exterior attack on the fire. The fire flow was most significant in the western half of the structure due to the majority of fire load (amount of heat Btu/sq ft) which is an estimate of the amount of heat that will be given off during ordinary combustion of all the fuel in a given space, being focused in that area. I saw that firefighter Phileas Fogg was on the lower SW roof of the structure in an attempt to better attack the fire through a hole burned through the roof. At about 0309 hours on 03/18/2022, I saw a portion of the lower SW roof start to buckle, throwing Firefighter Fogg to the roof. As he was trying to rise, the roof caved in and I saw Fogg fall into the flames. His safety harness malfunctioned and, while it held him from hitting the floor, the device would not pull him back up and died a few minutes later due to the flames. He was pronounced dead by medics at 0448 hours once we were able to control the flames long enough to pull his body out. The fire was made under control at about 0436 hours and was considered out (with only a few hotspots remaining) at 0649 hours on 03/18/2022. I began my investigation at 0745 hours once all fire personnel left the scene. It should be noted that 2 police officers remained at the scene for security. Police investigators were on scene and conducting their own investigation. I contacted the owner of the Warehouse, James (Jim) Beam who said that the warehouse had been full of electronics and whiskey. He had just received a package of the newest Apple computers that utilized laser displays. The computer operator could work the computer via the laser display interface and each one cost $700,000. The computers were still in their respective shipping containers located in the northwest area of the warehouse on a metal table, while the whiskey was kept in a separate area in the southeast corner of the warehouse. The computer shipment had contained 200 of the computers. He also had 500 new ThinLine Ultimate Quantum Pro 200" televisions. These televisions were as thin as an envelope with the best resolution that is offered publicly. Each of the 500 televisions cost $120,000 and were located in the middle of the warehouse in racks built to store and protect them. I was able to locate the televisions (many of which had partially melted) in the middle of the warehouse and counted 500 of the televisions in the warehouse inventory, but all had visible heat damage. I Searched the northwest portion of the warehouse looking for the computers and I#2 Investigation: Stage 1 Assignment Information: The first part of this investigation is meant to have students initiate the investigative steps to begin conducting an investigation. Stage 1 sets up the foundationally important first steps of this investigation. What would you do AND in what order would you do them when starting your investigation? ONLY use the steps that can be done at the scene. Stage 2 will encompass everything AFTER you leave the scene. If you ask have questions, please ask immediately. You MUST appoint a lead investigator. Once selected, ALL investigators must break down the crime scene investigation into 3 areas of responsibilities. It is up to the members of your investigative team to determine which member is responsible for an individual area of responsibility. Once your responsibility is identified, you should include discussion and input from the other investigators of your group. However, you will each write up your own area of responsibility. Write this up as if you have actually already accomplished it (and be descriptive). This means that you are meant to write it in past tense. All 3 of the individual responsibilities will be due on March 30th at class time. Suggestion: You have learned the steps in an investigation. I suggest using that knowledge to create an outline of what you want to accomplish. I would suggest determining possible criminal acts as that will influence how you conduct your investigation, but be flexible. RULES/Instructions: 1) Select a lead investigator from your group. 2) Identify all tasks for each stage of the investigation and assign tasks to each officer and detective and delegate who will accomplish what goals. The 2 officers are initial responders and, as such, can only perform the duties normally assigned to first responding officers. 3) Officers and detectives can only do one task at a time. 4) If you have tasks that require more personnel or resources, your lead investigator may request those by specifying who or what, how many, and justify why they are needed (in writing).

He repeated what he had told Fire Investigator Roth. He said that the warehouse had been full of electronics and that the newest Apple computers utilized laser displays, and the computer operator could work the computer via the laser display interface. Each computer cost $700,000 and he had purchased 200 of them. He provided the purchase agreement and the shipment invoice listing the serial numbers of all the Apple computers. He explained that the computers were still in the shipping container (there was only 1 large one) that had been located in the northwest area of the warehouse on a metal table. He also had 500 ThinLine Ultimate 200" televisions that were as thin as an envelope with the best resolution that is offered publicly. Each of the 500 televisions cost $120,000 and were located in the middle of the warehouse in racks built to store and protect them. He provided a purchase agreement for the televisions, as well as, a shipping invoice that included descriptions, cost, and serial numbers. He explained that he usually only employs workers when he needed help delivering the product to other locations (stores, etc...). He uses 2 guys, one of which (Brad Pitt) was hospitalized for appendicitis 3 days ago and won't be out of the hospital for another week. The other, Burt Gummer, was supposed to arrive today (3/18/2022) around 1 1 am to help with deliveries, but he has not come to work and has not yet heard from Gummer. He also was angry that, due to the slower economy, he let his insurance laps last month and has now lost everything. 41.

He reviewed it and saw that at 0047 hours on 3/18/2022, a flatbed pickup truck could be seen backing up to the front door of the Sherwood Warehouse. A single male exited the truck and could be seen kicking in the main door. The suspect entered and about 11 minutes later, the front roll-up door was opened. The male, which Morty recognized immediately as Burt Gummer (and he recognized the truck due to the large dent in the right front fender area), used a forklift to bring out a large crate with the word "Apple" on the sides and placed it on the flatbed. Gummer then drove the forklift back inside. He stayed inside for 8 minutes, closed the roll-up door and ran out the main entrance. He drove off northbound and the security video captured the license plate of OU812 WA.#2 Investigation: Stage 2i Search Warrant Truck After obtaining a search warrant addendum that now includes the ability to search the White Ford Flatbed truck license plate OU8122 WA VIN: 7MDKD639KDJFKKS991, you enter the truck through an unlocked driver's door.
