Crime scene, mug shots and translations

I'm good - so very good at cracking passwords. But only when they're the name of someone's son. The investigation into the death of Routes adviser Markus Schoenberg is hotting up - and we can now see the case files for the Calca Police investigation by putting in the the case file number: CLC0108-1314, investigating officer's name: cbarrera and using his son's name as password: rafael. I fired off a quick email to Matt Blacker to let him know.

The case files include crime scene photos, mug shots, the correspondence from the police with the UK and also a ton of interview to translate. All good fun. Particularly the mug shots - nasty looking bunch. Updates here.

I'm not convinced that Schoenberg was really a "biopirate" - it just seems out of character. However his death is certainly suspicious, hopefully these files will provide some clarity.

Mike - Is there any way of converting the pictures to tinypic files?
My computer refuses to open the files straight from the website.
Thanks in advance.
