Story 3: North Point Robbery

A robbery occurred at the North Point Inn yesterday morning around 9 AM that resulted in the death of lead chef of the Inn, Kevin Blohm. Nina Cortez, Bookkeeper at the Inn arrived for her daily shift ten minutes before 9 a.m. yesterday morning. Soon after her arrival to work, Cortez recalls seeing and talking to Blohm. After Cortez requested a cup of coffee from Blohm, she stated that she and Blohm walked out to the corridor of the Inn together. “That was the last I saw him.” She said.
After seeing Blohm, Cortez began her morning checklist by going through the previous day’s revenue. Cortez remembered taking the$6000 and receipts out of the safe in order to count it on her desk. A couple minutes after Cortez began her count she was confronted by what she believes to be the robber and his accomplice. Cortez began screaming when she saw that one of the robbers was carrying a knife. The suspect then reached across Cortez’s desk and grabbed $130 in five dollar bills off of her desk. After the robbers left, Cortez locked her office door and stayed inside until the police arrived four minutes later.
The police escorted Cortez out of her office, which is when she first saw Blohm’s body. “It was awful. There was blood on the walls and floor. Kevin was lying on the floor, dead.” She recalled. Kevin suffered from a large knife wound to the chest and hand.
Although Cortez claims that she didn’t recognize the robber because the lower half of his face was covered with a flower scarf, she remembers that he was around five to six feet tall, and that he was in his twenties with a medium build.
