Eric is a 36 year old caucasian male from Tacoma, Washington. At the age of ten, Eric had been relocated to Seattle, Washington to live with his grandparents. His father, John had been a CEO for a fortune 500 company and had always been traveling. Eric’s mother was tragically murdered when he was six years old. Ever since his mother Eve’s death, Eric has had a desire to become a detective and help bring justice to the innocent individuals who were unable to do so. Eric is six feet tall with light brown hair and amber brown eyes. He has an athletic build and enjoys sports and fitness. He works out at the gym five days a week and plays on a co-ed beer league for softball. In his spare time, he watches professional baseball and football, reads unsolved case files and attends music festivals.

Eric has obtained a Bachelor’s of Science in Criminal Justice from Washington State University and a MS in Criminology from UCI (University of California Irvine). Throughout his time in his Bachelor’s program, he had joined the police force for the Seattle Police Department. Eric had spent most of his time in the station helping officers of higher rank document day to day operations, conduct surveys, input data, conduct research for projects, provide outreach to the community and other duties. On occasion, he would tag along with an officer to gain some field experience. It wasn’t until he had obtained his MS in Criminology that he had been promoted to detective, after passing the exam.

This promotion had taken five years to obtain, with the help of a few mentors. These mentors had provided Eric with advice and knowledge that he has carried with him. Unfortunately, Eric had lost one of these mentors when he was a sophomore in college. This mentor had been shot in the line of duty while working for the Seattle Police Department, leaving behind his wife and young daughter. Eric has since transferred to the Bellevue Police Department, to break out of the city life. He had perceived Bellevue to be a more robust and sophisticated community- in which he didn’t have to be too concerned about the crime rate. He soon realizes that his perception is slightly off, when he is called to the scene of a suburban homicide.
