For my creative project I put together a case file based upon the fictional murder of Julia Stoner detailed in “The Speckled Band”, a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I wanted to make the case file look realistic so I used a manilla folder with a picture of the “Stoner twins” attached to the front.
