Queenie Volupides Observations

As we entered the crime scene, we noticed several things that appeared to be out of the ordinary. The first thing that we observed was the position of the body.

If someone were cooking food they would not be upstairs away from it. Also if someone were coming down the stairs with the railing on the left, they would be holding onto the railing with their left hand and carrying other items in the right
