You have to think critically and evaluate the merits of different possibilities applying your knowledge what you have learned so far and going to learn in next two weeks. Please note there is no step by step direction. As you can see providing a direction will kill the investigation. However,  So there is a Discussion Board forum But remember this is Digital Forensics – we need clear evidence not just raw data.
