*in the morgue*
"Anything good?" Detective Schmitt asked the coroner.
"Just as I suspected" she replied with a hint of satisfaction "The stab to the heart was fatal. A very deep wound, and jagged. I estimate this wound was inflicted by a serated knife."
The detective scratched his stubbled chin. Kitchen knifes were common murder weapons, handy in a spree-of-the moment kill.
"Anything else?" He asked the coroner.
"I emptied his stomach contents and found corrots, celery, a high amount of alcohol and... tuna. Here is my full report" she handed him a folder.
"Thank you, doctor." Schmitt said as he left the morgue. The coroner smiled and gave a curt nod.

*back at the police station*
Sitting behind his big wooden desk, detective Schmitt summoned his favourite constable.
"Yes sir?" The fresh faced constable Jones said.
"I need you to identify our victim." Ordered the detective "Comb through ever missing persons report and match it to the coroner report. Height, suspected weight and other distinctive features. Our victim had an oddly shaped head - see if that matches anything."
"Right away sir," Jones said as he left the office.
