Subject: Stiles Bennet – Suspected Suicide
Interview Conducted: Grace Smith (online friend) - Confirms he had a second phone.
Key Findings from Interview:
Grace met Stiles through an online platform (Linkup), and they became friends over three months.
Stiles confided in her about being bullied at school, stating that the bullies were involved in selling drugs.
The bullying allegedly started when Stiles refused to take drugs and worsened when he discovered their illegal activities.
Stiles had a second phone hidden somewhere, containing evidence of the drug dealings.
He had an interest in treasure hunting, which could hint at how he hid the phone.
On the night before his death (May 2nd), he texted Grace, asking: "What would you do if you knew someone cheated their way in?"
Grace saw the message the next morning, after Stiles was already dead.
Questions & Inconsistencies:
Grace claims Stiles had a second phone, but there’s no record of it being found—where is it?
If Stiles was being physically attacked for knowing too much, why didn’t he report it to someone?
What did Stiles mean by "cheating their way in?" Was it related to the drug activity, school admissions, or something else?
Is there a connection between the drug sellers and Stiles’ death?
If the bullies were truly afraid of Stiles exposing them, would they have gone beyond just bullying?
Could Stiles' interest in treasure hunting hint at a location where he hid the phone or evidence?
Next Steps:
1. Investigate the second phone – Search for any possible hiding places Stiles could have used.
2. Look into drug activity at the school – Cross-check with other students, school records, or any past suspicions.
3. Find out who could have ‘cheated their way in’ – Check university admissions, scholarships, or any related cases of academic dishonesty.
4. Interview the bullies again – See if their stories change when confronted with the drug allegations.
5. Analyze Grace’s message history with Stiles – See if there were any other hidden hints or warnings in their past conversations.
6. Check Stiles’ personal belongings – If he liked treasure hunting, he might have left clues about where he hid important things.
