Summary - Police Record: 2017-6-16.Paulston-PD.GreyH.DD-AS
Due to a potential fatality, police were notified by Emergency Ambulance Dispatch that a potential homicide may have been committed at Guerrilla Media Design located on 258 Maple Lane. Upon arrival at the scene, two officers entered the building. Medics were already on scene, administering lifesaving procedures. Once the victim, Ms. Grey, was secured and removed from the scene, a formal investigation was conducted.
There were clear signs of a physical struggle at the crime scene. The
mirrors of the bathroom were completely shattered, showing signs that Ms. Grey had been thrown against them. A medical examination verified glass was discovered within Ms. Grey’s wounds upon her back and wrists, matching that of the mirrors found within the bathroom. There was also a mass of blood, indicating that Ms. Grey had been
drug after being stabbed. Authorities believe she was caught by surprise by a blitz attacker within the bathroom.
The witness who discovered Ms. Grey was questioned and provided a solid alibi. The security firm tasked with securing the building were also interviewed and asked to provide all security footage. Upon review, no one was seen entering or leaving the building around the suspected time of the attack. However, the security firm acknowledged a known gap in the security system. The rear stairway into the building has no camera coverage and does not require badge access to enter. A
generic six digit pin allows access to the stairwell, which is commonly used by the residents of the building. Due to the high traffic in the area, no fingerprints were successfully recovered from the door handle and pin pad.
The colleagues of Ms. Grey were interviewed but none seemed to be aware of any previous domestic disputes between Ms. Grey and a potential unsub. They did vocalize Ms. Grey’s change in behavior over the past several months, including moodiness and a loss in job performance due to an ongoing affair with the company’s co-owner, Mrs. Munoz-Alvi. Upon interview, both Mrs. Munoz-Alvi and Mr. Alvi stated they were not in the building at the time of the attack. Financial records backed up their statements, verifying their alibi. Mrs. Munoz-Alvi did inform authorities that Ms. Grey was an infatuated intern, like many others the company had hired, and that their alleged affair was office gossip. Mr. Alvi confirmed that Mrs. Munoz-Alvi and Ms. Grey were not involved with one another.
Due to Ms. Grey’s inability to identify her attacker and having a lack of physical evidence to identify the intruder, no unsub was identified. Administered sexual assault kit failed to obtain DNA from Ms. Harper. The case remains open, should new evidence be discovered.
