The file

Released in full by the Property & Evidence Division. The suspect file is reproduced below, followed by every item logged into evidence with it.

Two-page LVMPD case file for suspect Cassy Nova, showing the suspect profile with mugshot, the interview transcript, and the evidence recovered.

The evidence

The Salt Lake City warrant was served nine days after the park was hit, and it missed her by minutes — Room 17 was empty with a cigarette still burning. What officers did take out of that room was a folded pink note, hidden behind a framed Picasso reproduction on the wall opposite the bed. It is reproduced at full size below, along with every other page released with the file, including a juvenile record that was unsealed specifically to assist this investigation. Nothing is hidden behind another click — scroll and read.
