Crime Scene Report

A second Kenneth Cole suitcase was found on May 11 by a girl picking up litter on the Fisherman Island Bird sanctuary. Upon opening the suitcase, the girl saw a human shoulder and was overwhelmed by the smell of rotting flesh. Once again, Virginia Beach Homicide Detectives Dr. Gray and Beth Dunton arrived on scene. The suitcase was photographed then the body parts taken for an autopsy. Inside this suitcase Dr. Wendy Gunther found the head, torso and arms of a white male inside black plastic trash bags just like the first suitcase. The man had been shot three times: once in the head, once in the back and once in the abdomen. These gunshot wounds were designated as the cause of death. Gunther also documented that the victim’s head was covered by a bloodstained blanket that read “property of HCSC.” While performing the autopsy, Dr. Gunther found a bullet in the waist area that he saved to be tested for ballistics at a later date (Glatt, 2008).

Since the time that the scientific science dramatization "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" turned into a tremendous hit and generated its fans, reporters have been worried about what they instituted the "CSI Effect." The hypothesis behind the effect is that fans of the well-known show disguise misguided judgments about the law that they bring with them into the court as jurors. In this way, the trepidation is that the TV show is at last influencing the results of trials - and not in a great manner. Criminal justice researchers have started to study the inquiry of whether nationals who are called to serve on juries bring unreasonable desires and convictions to the court as a consequence of TV projects. The impact that these projects may have on the jurors, their desires, and their choices is known as the CSI effect.

An emergency call came in at 9:45 am made by Doug Greene who is a neighbor of the victim Anna Garcia claiming that he had not seen Anna Garcia since her normal morning walk at 6:30 am the previous morning and that the dog had been barking for 2 hours, he had also mentioned that Anna Garcia was wearing a sweater when he had seen her the previous morning while experiencing a 92 degree heat wave. Mr.Greene had called Anna’s telephone with no answer, and had also rang the doorbell with no answer. The EMT and local police had arrived to the scene at 9:56 am, needing to break the door down. EMS discovered Anna Garcia laying face down, dead.

On August 15 at 9:45 am Anna Garcia´s neighbor, Doug Jung, contacted the police and informed them about Anna because he was worried about her. He told them that the previous morning he saw her walking her dog at around 6:00 am and that she was wearing a sweatshirt even though it was humid outside. After hearing from Doug, the 911 operators informed the local police and the EMT. Both the police and the EMT arrived at the crime scene at 9:56 am. The EMT declared that Ms. Garcia was dead and her autopsy was performed by Dr.King at 11:00 am. Ms. Garcia was five foot four inches and 165 pounds. She came from Hispanic heritage and was of age 38. Ms. Garcia was found surrounded by a pool of blood and there was an injury to the head. A table was by Ms. Garcia´s head and there were white pills lying by her as well. There were no signs of weapons and a pool of vomit was found at the crime scene. The police identified four possible suspects: Alex Garcia (Ms. Garcia´s ex-husband), Erica Piedmont (Alex´s new wife), Lucy Leffingwell (Ms, Garcia´s partner in business and best friend), and Doug Greene (Ms. Garcia´s neighbor and ex-boyfriend). There was a team working on finding out if any of the suspects were involved or not. The main problem/question was whether Ms.Garcia's death

On Friday, August 12, 2016 at approximately 1000 hours, I assisted the patrol division in locating a burglary suspect that entered the residence of 1023 Barn Oak Court. The complainant/victim Nicole Smith stated to the Conyers Commutation that when she entered the front door of the residence, she heard an unidentified noise in the back bedroom. As she entered the rear bedroom the subject exited the residence through the rear window.

I arrived on scene at approximately 02:11 hours. I approached the front door and the victim, Hollie J. McIntosh (F/W, DOB: 07/26/1988) opened the door and let me inside. I inquired with McIntosh what happened. McIntosh stated she was shoved and choked by her boyfriend, James Dean Carvell (M/W, DOB: 01/25/1988). I observed a red mark on McIntosh’s neck. McIntosh advised Carvell was in the bedroom. McIntosh pointed to the bedroom. I entered the bedroom. Carvell was lying

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.

The fiber and hair evidence collected from the bodies of the murder victims resulted in the conviction of Wayne Williams in 1982 (CNN, 2010). Investigations located green carpet fibers that displayed a specific pattern, red carpet fibers, yellow fibers, dog hair, as well as human hair on the different bodies from 1979 until 1981. This collection of evidence was compared to the carpet fibers from the home where Wayne Williams lived as well as the vehicle he drove. A sample of hair was also taken from his dog and compared to those found on the bodies. A yellow blanket was found under the bed of Wayne Williams, a sample of those fibers was also taken.

I then proceeded to enter the residence and noticed a female was visibly upset and was crying. I identified the female as Mrs. Gloria Lipscomb Plato (Victim) and her daughters Marissa Dawn Plato (Victim) and Kara Plato. Mrs. Plato’s face was red and she had a cut on the inside of her bottom lip. Mrs. Plato’s neck and arms were also red. Mrs. Plato stated that

While on scene I observed blood droplets in the kitchen, dining room, Living room, laundry room and a long hallway leading into the residence from the backyard. Once outside of the residence I observed further evidence of a physical confrontation, including additional blood spatter and droplets scattered throughout the yard near a burning fire where it appeared, due to multiple empty alcoholic beverage containers the subjects had been drinking.

On 10/28/12 at approximately 1330 hours, Deputy J. Berner and I (Deputy M. Young) was dispatched to 2712 Dwight Road in reference to a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, I met with, Mrs. Tiffany Howell (complainant).

Like you see in the Crime scene investigation shows like CSI and Bones, there are many things that go into investigating shows a lot of those things happen but it takes much longer than forty or sixty minutes to solve the crime. While crime scene investigating is very serious job, collecting evidence at crime scenes requires education and knowing of what you're doing, requires hard work, and it can be difficult to perform this job.
