🔍 Forensic Report: Evidence ID #006 — “The Torn Photo”
🕵️‍♀️ Filed By: Mayra Mains, Chief Archivist of Awkward Moments
📁 Division: Dead Wrong Investigations
📎 Case Reference: DWI-0725-PIC

📍 Location Recovered:
Taped to the underside of a dining table in the function room — possibly hidden or discarded in a rush. Torn edge suggests it was once part of a larger image.

📷 Evidence Details:

• Photograph Type: Glossy 10x15 cm print

• Condition: Torn unevenly along the right-hand side. Visible fingerprint smudge in top-left corner (inconclusive match).

• Visible Subjects: Stuart Burney (clearly identifiable) facing Gloria (only partially visible).

• Context: Stuart appears mid-sentence, jaw tense, hand gesturing aggressively. The partial figure seems turned away — possibly defensive or dismissive. Background appears to be near the back entrance of Lenny’s Bar.

🧠 Analysis:

• Stuart is visibly agitated. Facial tension and body language suggest confrontation.

• The photograph was deliberately torn — indicates someone wanted to conceal the identity of the second person or cause emotional damage.

• The angle implies the photo was taken secretly — possibly by a third party trailing them.

• High probability this moment connects to a personal betrayal or secret being exposed.

📌 Player Considerations:

• Clue may trigger memory in those close to Stuart — especially those who were at or near Lenny’s that night.

• Partial clothing or jewelry in the photo might match another character’s known outfit or accessory.

• Could tie to someone’s hidden mission — either exposing or covering up this incident.
