This was very well set up into files and was of good quality. I enjoyed the storyline. If I had any fault with it, one piece of evidence completely sealed the case making it too easy.

There is so many pages, I can't even print them. It wont let me access them at work. And I tried to do it at staples and im up to $100.

Response from Vikashni

Yes it’s a cold case file so it will be detailed and comprehensive. As for access, you can download the files and save them on your drive or desktop, like usual google docs or PDFs. Sadly, I can’t help you with any of the issues you have raised. The 2 star rating impacts our overall scores so I wish you could relook at this.
