Who did it? After reviewing the evidence everything points to Alejandro Sanchez. The hair found in the victim’s hand was Alejandro Sanchez The fingernail scrapings were also Alejandro Sanchez.

The Scenario The two brothers went fishing and had a great time. The boys left and as they were getting into their separate cars Christopher realized he left something on the boat. As his step-brother drove off he got back out of the car and went back to the boat. As he was searching the boat Alejandro Sanchez approached him from behind and attacked him thinking that Christopher was trying to steal the boat. The two guys started fighting and that’s how Christopher got the scrapings under his nails. Alejandro begins to strangle Christopher and as he is strangling hi he is drowning him. While Alejandro was doing this Christopher was pulling his hair and that’s how it got into his hands. Alejandro after letting Christopher sink into the water runs back up to the office gets his stuff and closes up. As far as the blood found on his shirt it was form the boat as they were fighting his brother said it was there when they were fishing. So Alejandro killed Christopher because he thought he was trying to steal his boat like most people do.
