The document discusses a murder case involving a system administrator who was a key suspect, but whose alibi could not be confirmed due to investigative errors. The police and the organization collaborated to gather digital evidence, yet the investigators mishandled the situation by excluding knowledgeable personnel, resulting in the suspect's prolonged distress and the true murderer remaining free. It emphasizes the importance of forensic investigators being knowledgeable about technology and suggests that collaboration with experts is essential during criminal investigations.

1. Murder Case
Preamble
An organization system administrator was labeled as the key
suspect in a homicide case. The accused claimed that he was at
work at the time of the murder.
Police Intervention
The police asked his employer to help them verify his alibi.
Unpredictably, the same organization, occasionally trained law
enforcement personnel to investigate computer crimes and was
eager to help in the investigation.
Collaborative Strength:
The organization worked with police to assemble an
investigative team, seized the suspect computers in his office
and residence, and backup tapes on a file server managed by his
employer. All of these evidence were stored in a room to where
only members of the team had access.
Harsh Situation
At the initial stages, the operation appeared reasonably well
documented, but the reconstruction process was a disaster. The
investigators made so many omissions and mistakes that one
computer expert when reading the investigator's logs, suggested
that the fundamental mistake was that the investigators locked
all of the smart people out of the room. The investigators, in
this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit
the slip-up.

2. As a result of the investigators' omissions and mistakes, the
suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to
support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the
investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance
to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have
quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him
through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go
free.
Lesson Learned
The case amplifies forensic investigators' requirements to
obtain fundamental knowledge of computers, compatible
operating systems, and application software programs.
Forewarning forensic investigators to seek the assistance of the
system administrator during the criminal investigation.
Scenario
You have been retained as a Deputy Technology officer at the
University and charged with the responsibility of developing an
Acceptable User Policy for the department of computer science
based on this murder case.
Question 1
Use the AUP to amplify the advantages and disadvantages of
investigators' quarterly training on most currently used
operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Macintosh,
UNIX, Linux, Sun System, and more.

3. Scenario 2
The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation
and unwilling to admit the slip-up. As a result of such
omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work
together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was
identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators
had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of
digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the
suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of
investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.
Question 2 "Investigators allowed the Murderer to go free."
2:1. Defend the impasse of the investigator's unwillingness to
admit the slip-up?
2:2 Use the Acceptable User Policy to amplify why the
murderer was allowed to go free and penalties for violations.
