</div>

<div class="card">
  <h2>Craig — Behavioural Notes</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Romantic relationship with Sheila.</li>
    <li>Confused and uncomfortable during questioning.</li>
    <li>Uses past tense prematurely.</li>

    <li>Financial misuse of father’s credit card.</li>
  </ul>

<div class="card primary full">
  <h2>Thomas’ Father — Primary Suspect</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Only suspect unable to maintain eye contact.</li>
    <li>Angry, accusatory, and deflective demeanour.</li>
    <li>Repeatedly blamed Craig.</li>
    <li>Attempted to rush interview citing cooking.</li>
    <li>Statement: “You can’t handle the truth,” followed by immediate apology.</li>
    <li>Prior contact with Sheila (double-date late last year).</li>

<div class="card full">
  <h2>Motive Theory — Secondary PI Assessment</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Possible jealousy or resentment regarding Sheila’s relationship.</li>
    <li>Strong desire to control narrative and protect family image.</li>
    <li>Underlying anger and volatility.</li>
    <li>Deflection behaviour consistent with fear of exposure.</li>
  </ul>

  <h3>Supporting Indicators</h3>
  <ul>
    <li>Disproportionate emotional responses.</li>
    <li>Repeated blame-shifting.</li>
    <li>Eye contact avoidance.</li>
    <li>Rehearsed phrasing and verbal slips.</li>
    <li>Attempts to dominate and end questioning.</li>
  </ul>

<div class="card full">
  <h2>Overall Conclusion</h2>
  <p>
    <strong>Most Likely Culprit:</strong> <span style="color:var(--danger)">Thomas’ Father</span>
  </p>
  <p class="muted">
    This assessment is based solely on behavioural analysis and interview conduct.
    The primary suspect demonstrates the highest concentration of agitation, deflection,
    and emotional leakage. Craig remains a person of interest; Thomas is assessed as a
    peripheral distraction.
