They of course had everything they found on her body, which was the twine, the dog collar, the cable ties, and the scarf. According to an interview with the lead detective, Chris Gregg of the West Yorkshire police department, of the case on the show A Town and Country Murder, once the body was brought to the morgue they brought a forensic scientist who was able to examine a fiber found on her back. The detective also mentions that they brought in a Entomologist, an entomologist is a person who is an expert in Entomology “which is the study of insects” (Google), who looked at the bugs and eggs on her body and they also brought in the Forensic Science Service, the FSS. Peter Grant was the one who mainly worked with them; he was a major crime specialist.

The CCA police department began analyzing evidence that was collected in an abandoned building at the Lowry campus on 6th Ave and Alton way. The building was abandon and boarded up five years ago, but it showed signs of forced entry. During the Investigation of the scene, CCA police officers found a human skeleton. The skeletal remains were found dressed in what appeared to be a bloody t-shirt and jeans. No identification was found yet but one of the officers brought a theory to this case about a Caucasian woman name Sarah, who went missing five years ago last seen in Aurora and they assumed Sarah could be skeleton in the abandon building.

14 year old Steven Truscott gave his classmate Lynne Harper a ride on his bicycle on June 9, 1959. Truscott had dropped her off before they parted ways. Lynne was reported missing later that night, and two days later, her body was found on a nearby farm. She was sexually assaulted and strangled to death. The community was horrified by what happened to this young girl and everyone was determined to find the killer. Immediately, investigators became fixated on Truscott as the prime suspect since he was the last person to see Lynne. They didn’t consider any other suspects, even though there was no physical evidence linking him to the murder. He was arrested 24 hours later, and stood trial as an adult. (Steven Truscott |

It was determined that Sgt. Sanderson exercised gross negligence when he denied Paul entry to VPD’s sobering cell and that Cst. Instant wrongfully left Paul exposed to dangerous environmental conditions while Paul was in no condition to care for himself (Davies, 2009). Although Sgt. Sanderson and Cst. Instant displayed poor judgement, the reasons for refusing Paul sanctuary were not deemed to be attributed to overt discrimination or racism stemming from Paul’s Aboriginal status. While the officers involved acted irresponsibly, it was ruled that they did not intend to cause Paul harm or bring about his death (Davies, 2009). However, despite fairly strong evidence that

This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.

In the Kathy Reich’s novel, Deja Dead, a Forensic Anthropologist, named Dr. Temperance Brennan, recently moved to the Canadian province of Quebec to escape her divorce. There, Dr. Brennan works for the “Laboratoire de Medecine Legale”, a coroner’s office in the city of Montreal. The novel begins when Dr. Brennan is called to investigate bones found by two Quebec water workers at an abandoned monastery. At the scene, Dr. Brennan discovers the meticulously mutilated and dismembered remains of a female stashed in a series of trash bags. As the novel progresses, Dr. Brennan begins to notice a pattern amongst the remains brought to her lab: all victims were female, most dismembered with similar methods of disposal and evidence of mutilation.

One of the victims was shot allegedly by a rifle, according to the police. Both of these two women were bludgeoned to death and found the next day in the park.

There were no fingerprints found, but fiber evidence and biological evidence were collected at the scene. The reported time of death was 10:00pm Sunday night. We conducted a series of experiments to find the guilty suspect. There was a total of five suspects. Suspect one is Brandy Smith, John’s current girlfriend, she did have a strong motive to kill John; He had gone out with his ex and Brandy was very mad.

After finding some skeletal remains, the police have provided a list of three missing persons, Kim Lee, Theresa Woods and Jonathan Parker. While spending multiple days in the lab, plenty of information was collected to help with the identification of the bones, such as the sex of the victim, the age of the victim and the approximate height and race of the victim. This data was compiled to draw a conclusion and safely identify the remains.

According to Kane (2011, p.2), one of the first things that needs to be done upon locating human remains is securing the potential crime scene. This appears to be one of the first mistakes that the Boulder Police Department failed to do upon responding to Patricia Ramsey’s 911 call stating that they located a ransom note. The body of JonBenet would later be found in the family’s basement that same day. Upon arriving at the family home, detectives failed to separate the parents, John and Patricia Ramsey to interview them separately. By failing to do so, allowed the potential suspects in the death of their daughter, to corroborate their stores.

Over the next few days dozens of people who had seen Debbie the night of her murder went to the station where they were interviewed, gave blood and hair samples. The investigation seemed promising, but months later leads began drying out and detectives found themselves back at square one.

A number of names that were found in the inquest were also found in the Toronto City Directory throughout the 1880s. For example, Alexander McPhedran’s name showed up since 1880. The directory lists McPhedran’s occupation as ‘MD’, which assumingly means he was a medical doctor. This would match up to the coroner’s inquest. James E. Pitts is also mentioned in the Directory. He lived at 327 Yonge Street since approximately 1880 until 1888. His occupation is listed as a butcher. J.T. Duncan does not appear in the early 1880s but does appear in 1888. He is listed as a physician residing at 324 Parliament and also has a phone number: 693. Detective William Black is also listed in the directory living at 24 Breadalbane.
