This project is composed of seven sources. I constructed my investigation off of evidence and studies. It is crucial to use studies in order to back my claims. The reason being is that a big part of my investigation is based on science and understanding. It is also important to make sure my sources are credible and easily accessible to information that is needed for this investigation. This case happened quite a long time ago so finding these sources, especially primary ones, will be greatly beneficial. I plan on using all of my finding and making my presentation the best it can be, while also being fun and entertaining.
