At 1120 hours on Friday 7 March 2014, an anonymous caller informed police station # about a bank robbery at the Amro Bank on South Madonna Avenue.The caller stated that circa 30 minutes ago, a man and woman robbed the bank at gunpoint. He described the male as a Hispanic male about 1 meter 90 centimeters tall with a muscular build. The suspect was wearing a light and dark gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans with holes and black sneakers and had a black scarf covering the bottom portion of his face. The female suspect was about 1 meter 70 centimeters tall with a slender build. She was wearing a olive colored sweatshirt, blue jeans and white sneakers and had a pink colored hood covering her face. He further stated that in the incident, the two entered the bank, armed with semi-automatic guns. The male suspect allegedly jumped the teller's cage t demand money as the female ordered the customers and workers down to the floor. 15 minutes later, the suspects left the bank on foot,  walked to a parked dark blue Chevrolet and drove off as police arrived on the scene.

Situation 1 : 

Police responded to the call at about 13:35 hours. Officer John Ramos and partner, Marc, were dispatched to the the scene to track the suspects, Detectives swarmed the bank and crime scene investigators dusted the front door for  fingerprints. Bank president Edward Gelada informed them that the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a plastic grocery bag. No one was injured during the incident.
Investigators searched the rear of the adjacent Ace Hardware business, which remained open after the robbery. Ace Hardware store management reported no commotion at the business related to the bank robbery or subsequent investigation.
Investigators also stopped by Dante Car Wash, a little farther down the road, but store personnel reported they didn't see anything related to the robbery.
Police have released photos of the suspects being sought in the robbery of Amro Bank on the next morning. The bank surveillance camera photo released by police gives a good view of the suspects leaving the bank.

Situation 2 : 

Immediately after the robbery, Anthony Rossi Intermediate School on Jackson Avenue and Pitway Elementary School on  Madonna Avenue entered shelter in place mode with the suspect's whereabouts unknown. The shelter in place was lifted about an hour later. The roads in the area were not closed during the investigation but traffic was slowed due to rubbernecking. Bank staff taped a notice to the front door informing customers the branch was closed "due to an emergency" and would shortly resume normal hours. The bank wasn't sealed off by the crime scene tape, and several bank customers pulled in to use the drive-thru window.

Situation 3 :

Jerry Skalkowski, 50, of Buena said he had hoped to withdraw some money from hid direct-deposit paycheck, but a teller told him that wouldn't be possible and referred him to another Amro Bank branch. Learning of the bank robbery, Skalakowski asked the teller if anyone was hurt and the bank teller told him no.
The Amro Bank South Madonna branch previously was robbed in May 2013, January 2012 and June 2008.

Situation 4 : 

At about 1430 hours, Traffic Sergeant Kennan tried to stop a vehicle, a dark blue Chevrolet with license plate # 249867 for a traffic violation on Interstate 57. The suspects drove off and someone inside the car shot at the officer. More shots reportedly were fired from the  Chevrolet's sunroof as police chased the runway car. The chase continued for another 45 minutes until police lost sight of the vehicle on Lincoln Street. The brazen act of getting out of the car to shoot at officers made this a unique case. Police immediately informed the Duty Officer of Police Control Room, who relayed the information to all on duty traffic patrols and asked them to stop the suspect car when sighted.

CLA Test 15: Elisa Lam Suzuki Murder

First Part of CLA (Reading)

Situation Report: Elisa Lam Suzuki was an eight-years-old girl who attracted national attention after she went missing on March 27, 2009. Her body was discovered several days later inside a chest in a nearby irrigation pond. Eight-years-old Elisa lived in Daloa, Ivory Coast, at Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park with her mother, grandparents and three older siblings. On March 27, 2009, she played at a friend's house after school until approximately 1600 hours, when she returned home to check in. An hour later, she left the residence saying that she was going to play at another friend's house. When she did not return for dinner, the family called the police at 1950 hours.

Incident 1 :  Police located footage from a surveillance camera near the family home. The footage showed Elisa crossing the street in front of the her home before moving out of frame. A search of the mobile home complex was conducted without results and the Detective Branch was called in to assist on the case. Over the course of the weekend, dogs, equestrian teams, and a helicopter from the Daloa Highway Patrol were brought in to search for Elisa. A $22,000 reward was offered for information in the case. One early suspect was a local man who witnessed kissing Elisa on the mouth two years earlier at a local swimming pool, when she was 6. He was interviewed and cleared of any involvement.

Incident 2 : Elisa's body was found 10 days later when an irrigation pond underwent a routine draining and a chest containing the body emerged. Elisa's autopsy revealed that she had been beaten and sexually assaulted with a foreign object before being smothered. Her toxicology results showed the presence of stimulants.

Incident 3 : After Elisa's remains had been found, police became suspicious of a number of odd coincidences regarding a neighbor of the family. Gabriela Carpenter,a 28-years-old Sunday school teacher of Clover Road Church School in Daloa. Ivory Coast. Gabriela studied criminology at  a community college before she and her daughter moved in with her grandparents to the orchard Estates Mobile Home Park. She told police that Elisa' often played with her own daughter.
On the day Elisa disappeared, Gabriela sent a text to Elisa's mother that said, "Tell the police that I had something stolen today around 4 p.m. I don't know if that makes a difference or not".

Incident 4 : The next day, a vigil was held for Elisa. Gabriela approached police and Detective Branch agents to report that she had found a note on the ground. They reported she was "very agitated, crying, and hyperventilating." The note stated: "Elisa locked in stolen chest thrown in water on Bacchetti Road & Whitehall Road witness."

Prior to the discovery of the body, Gabriela wasn't a prime suspect based on her gender, according to lead investigator, Daloa Police Detective Timothy Bauer.  "She wasn't really a top priority," Bauer said. They were "focusing on all these guys in the trailer park." The profile that Detective Branch experts assigned to the case was a white male, 25 to 40, with a criminal history of sexual assault or child pornography. Gabriela was interviewed on multiple occasions, but her behavior was assumed to be attention-seeking, rather than evidence of involvement. After the body was found in the chest she had reported stolen, they began taking a closer look at Gabriela's behavior. They took notice of "the unusual fact that a woman who reported losing a chest should be the one woman out of everyone in this complex who should happen to find a note that reports that the stolen chest was used to  hide the child's body," Detective Branch Special Agent Michael told the grand jury.

The police got a further lead when a retired banker and his wife notified police that they spotted Gabriela and her Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) at the irrigation pond on their property at Becchetti Road and Whitehall road between 5.30 pm and 6:00 p.m. on the day Elisa disappeared. They reportedly recognized her on television . He described her as "distracted and hurried", and she told him " just had to pee quickly", when he saw her.

CLA Test 13: False Imprisonment

First Part of CLA (Reading)

Situation Report:

In September 2009, Michaela Heinz and her family moved from Tubmanburg, to a rural area south of River Gee. Because they thought it was a safe community. At the time of the abduction, Michaela was in the fifth grade and because of shyness, was worrying about an upcoming field trip. She was close to her mother, Gabriela Smith, and infant sister. Her biological father had left the family. Although her mother had remarried, Michaela was not close to her stepfather, Carl Smiths, On June 10, 2011, Michaela's mother, who worked as a typesetter at a print house, left for work early in the day. At 0715 hours on 10 June, 2011, Michaela wearing her favorite all-pink outfit walked up the hill from her house to catch the school bus, walking against traffic After a 10 minute walk, when she was half way up the hill, a car approached her. She thought the man in the car would ask for directions. When he rolled down the window, Peter Schneider shocked her unconscious with a stun gun and abducted her. Nancy Schneider held Michaela down in the car as she drifted in and out of consciousness during the drive to the Schneider home in Sinoe, two hours from Michaela's home. The only  time, Michaela spoke was when she pleaded that her parents could not afford a ransom.

Incident 1 :

Carl Smiths witnessed the abduction of his stepdaughter from within sight of their home. He saw two people in a gray sedan make a U-turn at the school bus stop where, Michaela was waiting, and a woman forced, Michaela into the car. Smiths gave chase on a bicycle, but he was unable to overtake the vehicle . Some of Michaela's classmates were also witnesses  to the abduction. Initial suspects included Carl and Ken Slayton, Michaela's biological father. Smiths took and passed several polygraph tests, and Slayton was also quickly cleared of suspicion.

By the time the Schneiders arrived at their home they had removed Michaela's clothing, leaving only a butterfly-shaped ring. Taking her from their car onto their property, Philip Schneider placed a blanket over Michaela's head and ushered her into an area of his backyard where sheds and storage units stood, placing her inside a tiny one that was soundproofed. He left her naked in the structure, which he bolted shut, warning her that Doberman Pinschers were outside and trained to attack her if she tried to escape.Schneider would visit her in the structure, bringing her food and milkshakes and just talking to her. A week after her abduction she was raped for the first time.

Incident 2 :

Within hours of Michaela's disappearance, local and national media converged upon River Gee to cover the story. Within days, dozens of local volunteers assisted in the search effort, which involved nearly every resource within the community. Within weeks, tens of thousands of fliers and posters were mailed throughout Liberia. Since her favorite color was pink, the town was blanketed in pink ribbons as a constant reminder of her disappearance and a demonstrated support for the family throughout the community.

Incident 3 :

Immediately after he kidnapped her, Phillip Schneider forced Michaela into a shower with him. The first time he raped her, she was still in handcuffs, in which she remained during her first week captivity. During that time, Michaela's only human contact was Schneider, who sometimes brought her fast food and sometimes told her amusing stories. Schneider provided Michaela with a bucket for her to relieve herself. At one point he provided her with TV, but she could not see the news and was unaware of the publicized search for her. Almost a month and a half after her kidnapping, Schneider moved her to a larger room next door, where she was handcuffed to the bed.

Incident 3:

On January 24, 2014, Phillip Schneider went to a University police office with Michaela, seeking permission to hold a special event on campus as a part of his "God's Desire" program. He spoke with the University's special event manager Elizabeth Short. She perceived his behavior as "erratic" and Michaela to be "sullen and submissive."  She asked him to make an appointment for the next day, which he did, leaving his name in the process. Officer Sandra Cantu discovered through a background check on Schneider that  he was a registered sex offender  on federal parole for kidnapping and rape. Having no basis for an arrest, she phoned the parole office to relay her concerns, leaving a report of the meeting on voicemail.
