November 26, 2000 sixteen year old Leanne Tiernan mysteriously disappeared after a shopping trip with a friend. Her sudden disappearance led to a nine month long search in hopes of finding her still alive. During August of 2001, the body of Leanne Tiernan was found in Lindley Woods about ten miles away from her home in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. A man walking his dog in the park, discovered the body in a shallow grave.

The body was then wrapped in plastic liners and secured with twine (“Forensic Cases: The Murder,” 2015). The key evidence collected from the scene was the dog collar, the scarf, and twine.

Mikhail Lermontov’s ‘A Hero of our Time’ is set in the 1840s, a crucial time in Russian history. Pechorin was a revolutionary character in Russian literature due to his cynical and amoral personality that alienates him from all social strata. ‘A Hero of our Time’ generated a large amount of outrage from the public due to Lermontov, claiming Pechorin to be the ‘hero’ of our its time. ’Bela’ is a framed narrative portrayed from the views of an old friend, Maxim Maximych, however, the story told by Maxim Maximych suggests it is an unjust and biased view of our ‘hero’ thus we as readers are to depict the true ‘hero’ Pechorin is. Examining the chapter ‘Bela,’ his actions signify his capability to damage a society, demonstrating him to be the callous and manipulative character he is.

Australian career criminal and convicted armed robber Stephen Asling, 56, has been convicted of the murder of respected underworld figure, Graham ‘The Munster’ Kinniburgh by the Victorian Supreme Court after more than a decade (Fox Koob 2017). In 2003, Asling and his accomplice, Terrence Blewitt, ambushed and gunned down Kinniburgh, 62, outside his home in Melbourne. The murder was by a contract with late underworld kingpin Carl Williams, who wanted Kinniburgh dead due to his tie-in with the Moran clan. Williams detested the Moran’s after he was shot and wounded during a dispute and it lead to a rivalry during the Melbourne gangland war (Deery & Murphy 2017).

In 1979, children and teens seemed to simple vanish. Each child met certain criteria: young, black, and from Atlanta. The first two victims, Edward Smith and Alfred Evans, who were both 14 years old, disappeared four days apart in June. Both of their bodies were found close together in a remote, wooded area of South Atlanta one month later. Nine-year-old Yusuf Bell went missing on October 21st, 1979 and his body was recovered November 8th of the same year. Police did not connect the dots with Bell’s murder because he was fully clothed, found in a remote area, but was strangled to death, unlike Smith and Evans, who were shot with a .22 caliber. Williams’ next alleged victim, 12-year-old Angel Lenair, was also strangled. She was found in an abandoned lot, fully clothed, with child underwear stuffed in her mouth.

Cobby was savagely raped and tortured for hours while in the car, they also stole her money to buy petrol for the car. She was later dragged from the car and through a barbed wire fence and into a paddock where Travers slit her throat after an argument about her seeing their faces and knowing their name caused her to almost be decapitated causing Cobby to bled out. Her naked bloodied blood was left on a secluded cow paddock on Reen

Forensic anthropologist examine skeletal remains for elements of a skeleton that can give clues to the person it belongs to. The Kennewick man’s skeleton was found in surprisingly good condition meaning the damage to the skeleton was done in his life, not due to deterioration.

First this case was investigated for a rape and murder.  A 16 year old girl named Kimberly Simon was found on a dirt road in Utica, New York.

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.

Twenty-one years ago this month, on September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park. He had died inside a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors.

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.

On the shore of Somerton Beach December 1, 1948, a body was found. According to "The Somerton Man: An Unsolved History,” a well-dressed man was slumped against the seawall with a half-smoked cigarette on his lapel. There was no sign of violence or a struggle. The man carried no identification (para. 1). Initially, the case only had a passing interest in the local papers; however, as the mystery of his identity and the manner of his death deepened over the next few months, public awareness of the case grew and speculation about the Somerton man, as he came to be known with so much evidence lost or destroyed over the decades, and everyone close to the case now deceased, it seems unlikely that we will ever know the truth. For almost sixty years,
