This scenario takes place circa 2004.

Mr. Jim Boss, the owner of the Really Big Company called, and you responded to his office. Mr. Boss advised that he suspected that his assistant, Emma Crook, was providing company sensitive material to some of his competitors. At 2:00 PM today he confronted Ms. Crook with his suspicions. He told her that he would be back at 3:00 PM for an explanation.

When Mr. Boss arrived back at Ms. Crook's office at 3:00 PM, she was gone. Her office was completely cleaned out of all her belongings. Mr. Boss tried to turn on Ms. Crook's computer, but it would not boot. Mr. Boss found a floppy diskette in the trash can. Mr. Boss wants you to examine the computer and the floppy diskette and to tell him exactly what Ms. Crook was up to. He is willing to pay for a 100% thorough examination. "Leave no stone unturned" as he said.

You examined the computer and found that the hard drive was missing. The computer was not networked. Your only evidence, if any, will be on the floppy diskette.
