How to Create a Suspect Dossier

  1. Name the Suspect: Give your villain a name and an alias (e.g., “The Number Cruncher”).

  2. Describe the Crime: What did they steal? Where were they last seen? (e.g., “Last seen in the cafeteria stealing all the pizza slices.”)

  3. Choose the Science: Select a fingerprint pattern. This is a great opportunity to teach students about forensic science types (Loops, Whorls, and Arches).

  4. Generate & Print: Click “Generate Case File” to see the result, then click the Print button to get a full-page dossier.

  5. Student Activity: The printed file includes a blank “Mugshot” box. Have your students draw what they think the suspect looks like based on the description!
