When I think of a crime scene I think I expected a dark damp area, with easy hiding spots and when I pulled off the sidewalk on mayflower hill drive I saw exactly that. Walking past the electrical box you see a set of very steep stairs that someone could easily fall down (or be pushed down). Being right on campus it’s weird to think that a crime could happen so close but the scene fits the profile.\u00a0The scene has an electrical box next to a large stone platform with stairs going down to a locked door. The ground was wet and slippery, the walls covered with graffiti and cobwebs which made me believe even more that this could be a crime scene. The scene is very overgrown and out of place and seems like it would fit more in a metropolitan area, not something you\u2019d see in rural maine.\u00a0 The graffiti says \u201cchoke\u201d and \u201crip trust\u201d. I don\u2019t know the meaning behind those but they definitely give the scene a much more sinister feeling. The spiderwebs also gave me the feeling that it wasn\u2019t well maintained and people don\u2019t go there very often leaving me thinking what could be behind that locked door.\u00a0The thing that makes me have second thoughts about this scene is the difference between the actual scene and the surroundings. You are right on the sidewalk past the new arts center and it doesn\u2019t seem like anything could happen there. The actual scene is very overgrown and out of place and seems like it would fit more in a metropolitan area, not something you\u2019d see in rural maine.\u00a0 If I was in a city and came across this scene late at night I wouldn\u2019t want to go near it. It feels as if someone could be lurking at any moment. Overall I feel like there is a chance that a crime could have been committed there due to how it looks but I find it unlikely that something bad would have happened so close to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
