Graceful Malevolence
Kelly was found dead in the ballet studio around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday July 11, 2010.
She was killed at approximately 10:30-11:00.
The Crime
One night, Ryan Liam waited impatiently for his girlfriend Kelly to return home from ballet practice. When the night grew later and later, he began to wonder. He decided to go to the studio and see why she was taking so long. Walking through the studio, he finds Kelly laying lifelessly in a pool of shattered glass on the studio floor. He calls 911 and begins to ponder.

Ryan took his major in college in forensics. With his forensic skills, he had concluded
that: The blood on the shards of glass and the
purse belonged to Kaylee The tire marks matched Keiths The animal hair strands and work gloves
traced back to Michael
Who did it?
Keith knew Kelly was practicing late that night. He saw Michael’s truck at the hospital and stole his work gloves, which were covered in horse hair, out of the bed of the truck. He arrived at the studio at about 10:00, where he ran into Kaylee who was leaving. She made suggestive moves on him which angered him. He pushed her into a mirror which shattered and there she laid unconscious and bloody in a pool of shattered glass.
Keith
A couple minutes later, he finds Kelly in the studio and he reveals his love for her and forces himself on her. She reacts with anger and tries to leave. Out of anger, he strikes her. Frightened, she runs through a dark hallway towards the door and trips over Kaylee who is laying unconscious on the floor. Keith, filled with rage, strangles Kelly (wearing Michael’s gloves) and flees the scene leaving the gloves and tire marks on the pavement. Kaylee wakes minutes later to find Kelly laying dead only a couple feet away. In fear, she runs out of the studio, leaving her purse behind.
