A body in the port-Casefile MJ102709
Location: Navy Pier at the Depot, Port Babbage
Synopsis: On this date Miss Mischa Janick, age 26, was killed by a single stab wound to the abdomen. She was discovered lying face down on the sidewalk in Port Babbage at the intersection of Navy Pier. A passerby discovered the body.
Personal Notes:
I was at the office when the call came in. A body had been found in Port Babbage, and apparently Tenk wanted an investigation. This told me that it appeared to be more than a suicidal young lover fished out of the canal, or some poor unfortunate who had a bit too much to drink and wound up in the gutter. I packed the case and headed out.
By the time I arrived, the body had already been transported to Dr Dayafter’s office. Gus had accepted the job of performing the autopsy for the City Coroner, so I sent word to him that I would be along to his office shortly to observe and assist.
The crime scene had already been trampled and picked over, but I was able to find something that raised my curiosity a bit..a small piece of paper with a red X on it. I placed it in an envelope, and seeing that there was not going to be anything of use there, I headed over to the office of Doctor Dayafter.
Once I arrived, I looked at the body and recognized her as the polite young lady I had met some nights earlier at the CocoaJava. Sadly, her trip to Babbage as a new start was not going to work out as she planned.
Her personal effects were in order, and it did not appear that she had been robbed. She had a folded napkin from the Rusty Cog, some money, and a few other oddments on her person. I bagged these awaiting the next of kin to claim the body.
Cause of death was exsanguination, and associated trauma from a single stab wound to the abdomen. It appeared to have been caused by a large straight bladed knife that was twisted on exit. No additional wounds were found save for a few abrasions and lacerations caused by her falling onto the cobbles. There were no defensive wounds, and the blow was delivered to the front of the body.
The word was that she was at the impromptu party held at the Cog by Maurice Dimanovic. It seems that he failed to show up to his own get-together, and that she left the party alone.
There also seems to be a great deal of idle chatter about the stranger prowling the Academy district of late. I need to start asking around, or maybe see what the urchins can tell me.
The investigation is ongoing.
