  • October 29, 2010

In the episode “Textbook Murder” of Forensic Files: Collection season 1, viewers are taken into a complex investigation into the murder of a young college student, whose body was discovered in a frat house laundry room. The victim, Jamie Banks, had been strangled, and investigators were left with few clues as to who might have committed the crime.

As they began their investigation, detectives interviewed Jamie’s friends and family members, but found few leads. They also examined the frat house where Jamie’s body was found, looking for any signs of a struggle or any other evidence that might help them solve the case.

Their breakthrough came when they discovered that Jamie had been in the process of writing a paper on serial killers, and had been using the college library’s computer lab to do research. A search of the lab’s computer records revealed that someone had used the computer at the same time that Jamie was using it, and had accessed the exact same website she had been using.

With this lead, detectives were able to identify a suspect - a fellow student who had been in the library at the same time as Jamie. They were also able to link the suspect to the crime scene using forensic evidence, ultimately leading to his arrest and conviction.
