Locate the DPMD storage unit
Jensen can find the locker in the alley beside the police station. Must go thru manhole cover to the underground to find it. You will be confronted by three punks that don't want to let you pass. You can stun or kill them.

Find all evidence related to the case
There are several ebooks in the lot containing information on the attackers as well as Megan's autopsy that must be read to complete the objective. The safe has a level 3 terminal on it and contains a diary entry as well as Megan's bracelet. The safe code is 7196. This objective is complete once Jensen reads all critical ebooks.

Go to the police station lobby
Officer Wagner is located here but he will not give up his information willingly. It is possible to intimidate him with the CASIE augmentation but completing the secondary objective will make this objective a lot easier.

Meet with Officer Wagner
Deal with Chet Wagner in the lobby. He is at first unwilling to cooperate; completing the secondary objectives will make him give up his information willingly. If you have the CASIE augmentation, his personality type is omega and you can bypass the secondary objective.

Return to Cassandra Reed
Once Jensen has completed all of the objectives, he should meet with Cassandra Reed again, who is in the lobby of Jensen's apartment complex. If Jensen has Megan's bracelet, he can give that to Cassandra to ease her sorrows or keep the bracelet and unlock the Sentimental Value achievement. This completes the quest.

Locate Officer Wagner's office
The secondary objective is not entirely necessary, however, if Jensen does not have the CASIE aug, there is an incriminating email on Wagner's computer on the third level of the police station that he can use to convince Wagner to give up the information. The door to his office can be hacked ( the door code is 6065 ), there is also an air vent that leads into his office.

Investigate Officer Wagner's Office
Hack or enter the password to Wagner's computer and read the e-mails. The fourth and final email contains incriminating evidence that can then be used against him, causing him to back down and give Jensen the information.
