Incident # ______0797___________ Name______Tiffany Lynch __________

On November 27 th 2012, at approximately 18:00 hours, I proceeded to Florida Southern College. The address is

111 Lake Hollingsworth Dr. Lakeland, FL, 33801, The Ordway Building, Polk County, Florida in reference to a proposed Homicide

I arrived at approximately 18:05 hours, made contact with Deputy Jean Gardner and was directed through the scene.

I was advised that there was a disturbance that was dispatched by a neighbor, when Deputy Gardner arrived on the scene what was observed was a deceased female and a suspect was apprehended and transported to a nearby

Hospital. The male suspect was said to have life threatening injuries. Nearby neighbors professed to hearing what sounded like a gunshot come from the residence

The suspect was later identified as being the husband of the deceased female.

Before entering the residence, the investigation team set up a command stations just outside the residence to help with making sure that all evidence was labeled and document correctly.

The scene is described as an average sized living room area located within the Ordway Building at Florida Southern.

In the entrance, walking northeast there is a reddish brown substance (possibly blood) trail pattern. There appears to be 2 chairs toppled over in the northwest corner of the room. There is a female victim’s body located on the east southeast area of the room, with the coffee table located northwest of the body. There are two couches located within the residence (one) couch (greenish/blue) is located east of the body against the east wall. (Two) couch

(white/green/blue (striped)) located northeast of the body. There were 3 tables located in the southeast quadrant of the room and on the south wall there appears to be a blackish/green chalk board with 2 apparent bullet holes.

Located on the East side of the Parking lot facing the large testing area The apparent point of entry is the west side door, which is the only way to enter the residence.

The apparent point of exit is the west side door, which is the only way to exit the residence.
