It was a cold and foggy night when the call came in. Detective John Smith was sitting at his desk, going through some old case files, when his phone rang. It was the station captain.

"John, we've got a body down by the docks. I need you to head down there and take a look," the captain said.

John grabbed his coat and headed out the door. The drive to the docks was short, but the fog made it feel like an eternity. When he arrives, he sees the crime scene tape and a group of officers standing around. He made his way to the captain and asked what had happened.

"The body was found by a fisherman this morning. It's a young woman, in her early twenties. She's been beaten and strangled. We haven't been able to identify her yet," the captain said.

John looked at the body and felt a pit in his stomach. He knew that this case would be a tough one. He went to work, interviewing the fisherman who found the body and the officers who were first on the scene. He examined the body and took note of the bruises and ligature marks. It was clear that this was a brutal murder.

As the days went by, John worked tirelessly to find any leads. He went through the victim's belongings and found nothing of significance. He interviewed her friends and family, but no one had seen her in the days leading up to her death. It seemed like they were at a dead end.

But then, a break came. A local bartender came forward with information. He said that he remembered seeing the victim talking to a man at his bar the night before she was killed. He described the man as tall, with dark hair and a scar above his left eyebrow.

John knew that this was the lead they needed. He began to search for the man with the scar. He questioned anyone who had seen him, and eventually, he got a hit. A security guard at a nearby hotel had seen the man entering a room on the night of the murder.

John and his team rushed to the hotel and found the man in the room. He was covered in blood and had a knife in his hand. He had killed himself before they could apprehend him.

The case was solved, but John couldn't shake the feeling of sadness. The young woman's life had been taken in such a senseless and violent way. He knew that he would never forget her, and he promised to always remember the victims of crime and work tirelessly to bring their killers to justice.
