Posted: Updated:

INSTITUTE AP) - High school students from across the state are participating in a crime-solving camp at West Virginia State University.

The weeklong camp started Sunday on the Institute campus.

Participants will view a mock murder scene, interview suspects, search for clues and try to solve a mystery.

During a closing ceremony on Friday, students will act out scenarios based on what they believe took place at the scene of the crime.

The camp is hosted by the university's extension service. University spokesman Matt Browning says the camp typically involves about 100 students each year.
