[Edit]
Vesta arrives in London and is thirsty for a hit. By chance, she chooses boastful Anadotti, corners her in an alley and melts her innards.

Evidence

  • A witch matching Vesta's description seen by 3 witnesses at the Leaky Cauldron from 11pm until after 1am. No one noticed her leave.
  • One of the witnesses, the bartender noted that she didn't pay in full, leaving only a few sickles.
  • Should the victim Anadotti Squiggs come forward, she'd be able to give a full description, time and place of the attack, and what was taken.
  • Scene of the crime is a small alley off Charing Cross Road in Muggle London.
  • If the crime scene were to be inspected, spell-detection spells like Enchantment Revealing Charm and Evidence Recovery Charm would reveal
  • There would be some knuts, balls of tissues, bottlecaps and Fizzing Whizbees in the alley.
  • Vesta Baddrick has a criminal record, but no previous crimes in London.

Dotti feels the scene as rapidly as possible in her secret flying squirrel animagus form, and goes straight back to where the needles came from - Dietrich Eisenberg's place. Dietrich immediately apparates them both to St. Mungo's lest all her organs turn to soup.

[Edit]
At St. Mungo's Dotti is a less than ideal patient. Auror Trainees Remy Sharp and Tarelin Faust conduct the interview under the supervision of Samuel Harcroft.

[Edit]
Jazelle Hawke should have known better. Vesta Baddrick had been watching her and as night fell, she accosted her in a closed off passageway in Diagon, stealing some sentimental treasures. Leaving her for a bit of garden statuary, Church Comer is sent out to find her.

Evidence

  • No one will be able to place a witch matching Vesta Baddrick's description in Diagon Alley that evening. Just bad luck.
  • Should the victim Jazelle Hawke come forward, she'll be able to give a full description of her attacker and the attack, including what was stolen.
  • Scene of the crime is a side passageway in Diagon Alley amongst some garbage bins.
  • If the crime scene were to be inspected, spell-detection spells like Enchantment Revealing Charm and Evidence Recovery Charm would reveal a great deal of spellwork including...
    • 'Stupefy (within 12 hours)
    • A fireball curse, and the charred spot on the cobbles to accompany it. (within 12 hours)
    • Sealed Mouth Hex (within 18 hours)
    • Smack Hex, quite weak (within 3 hours)
    • Two Expelliarmus, the first quite weak (within 4 hours); the second much stouter (within 8 hours)
    • Levicorpus Collum, a simple levitation spell, but done by the neck. (within 18 hours)
    • Living Statue Curse (within 72 hours)
    • Two Apparitions, about an hour apart (within 24 hours)
Take My Hand, Just Not The Ring
[Edit]
Church is at the hospital with Jazz and they insist on speaking to Aurors at once.

[Edit]
Brett Abraham is assigned to assist Samuel Harcroft in interviewing Jazz, and Harcroft guides them through the procedure. Jazelle is an excellent witness.

[Edit]
Vesta Baddrick should have known better - if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Black Marketeer Ventus Shang sets a trap for the infamous mugger on the streets of London, and Vesta gets more than she bargains for. She walks away with the prize, but some serious injuries as well.

Evidence

  • A muggle police officer will be able to place Vesta on the street.
  • Alleged victim Ventus Shang would be able to ID Vesta.
  • 500 galleons were taken from the scene.
  • Inspection of the crime scene will reveal many traces of spellfire:
    • A powerful Reductus curse, traces on the ground and walls. (within 72 hours)
    • Clues that powerful Necromancy magic was in play. (within 48 hours)
    • Fragmentation Curse. (within 12 hours)
    • The charred ground and traces of a powerful ring of Dark Magic fire. (within 5 days)
    • Three Apparitions. (within 24 hours)

Two senior Aurors arrested Vesta Baddrick (38) in a violent confrontation last night in Knockturn Ally.
Daily ProphetDark Arts Mugger Apprehended

"The evidence against her is outstanding," said prosecution barrister Ermine LeBlanc. "Seven of her victims will be able the identify her and about 75% of what she reportedly stolen has been recovered from the black market. Evidence of Dark Arts spells cast at the crime scenes is incontrovertible and when we dump her wand, we have no doubt we'll find exactly what we need to put her away for good. And good riddance!"Niobe Thursby

[Edit]
The Aurors finally catch up with Baddrick after a string of eleven violent muggings and robberies. She is captured and arrested after a violent confrontation.
End of the Line

Baddrick was perfectly alive, but perfectly out of it. After all the Aurors had behaved and used only the legal subjugation and restraint spells recommended for such an encounter. They'd played it clean and that was the only reason she was still alive. The witch was mumbling but only half conscious and barely able to move. She moved her arms limply, her eyes unfocused and unseeing, from where she lay on the floor in the middle of a spell crater.

Her lips moved and twisted, but nothing came out that made any sense.

She had been bested.Vesta Baddrick
