Joyce Carol Vincent Case Study

In 1997 My kids and I moved out of a one-bedroom apartment, where I was paying market rent and into a

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. A plastic bag was wrapped around Leanne’s head, was held in place with a dog collar while a scarf and cable tie were wrapped around her neck as well as bonding her wrists together. 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.

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 last person they brought in was pathologist (“a branch of medicine used for legal purposes and concerned with determining cause of death, examination of injuries due to crime and negligence, and examination of tissue samples relevant to crimes; also called forensic science” (Dictionary.com).)focused in palynology, “palynology is the study of pollen grains and other spores, especially as found in archaeological or geological deposits”(Google). According to law.com forsensic pathology is: a branch of pathologythat is primarily concerned with determining the cause of death through the examination of a corpse. The pathologist who worked on the case was Patricia Wiltshire.

Shortly after the discovery of the corpse, I was asked by the editor of Outside

After a thorough search of the Belanglo State Forest by authorities that resulted from the discovery of the bodies of Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters, no other bodies were found. The police believed it was an isolated case and continued to search for information on the murderer of these two girls. The intense media coverage had left locals worried about what else could be found in the vast state forest which led local man Bruce Pryor to find another body. On the 5th October 1993 over a year after the discovery of the first two bodies, Bruce Pryor discovered a thigh bone and a skull which he brought to police who returned to the area and found yet another body. Three days later the police confirmed that one of the victims was Victorian backpacker

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.

In the case of Cindy Countess, severely mentally ill best fits her, because she had been “prescribed to Paxil to help in her mental illness that was like her mom” (FilmRise). According to Dr. Heide, “severely mentally ill offender suffers from irrational thinking and behavior” (CriminologyTV). Countess clearly was thinking irrationally after taking Paxil and that led to her behavior of mixing Paxil with alcoholic drinks and from there killed her mom in the bathroom. In my opinion, the best verdict for Countess would be second degree murder, because it was a killing done impulsively without premeditation. Countess also did not recall her killing towards her mom, due to the amount of Paxil that she took in addition to having alcoholic drinks

She tells of the feeling of shame which emerge from not even having a bed throughout her entire childhood (3). She does reassure that she has the security of her family being the only constant in her life, “Close and sweet and loving. Lucky me on my small pallet on the floor” (4). Travelling every summer “We never knew from one day to the next, from one year to the next, where we would go or live or what we would do” (127), her security of her family seemed always there “Having lived in other people’s houses, barns, and in migrant housing in various stages of decay and repair, it felt as though we could make a home out of anything” (99).

The next body discovered along a ditch was of Jane Vaughn Gilmour. Gilmour was a single woman who had emigrated from Scotland with her family, and was living in Canada for 3 years. She lived with a middle-class family, the Clements and worked as their servant. It was suspected that she was seduced and impregnated

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.

In September of 1869 a few children were picking blueberries along Black River Rd, in saint John New Brunswick. They stumbled upon the bodies of an adult female and infant that had been left in this spot for over a year. No one seemed to know who they might be and police questioned a man by the name of James Kane.

After quickly recovering from the storm of grief which showered her, Louise comprehends her own independence; “‘Free, free, free!’” (202). Something of which she has not possessed before. Not to mention, Louise holds great passion for the future without her husband influencing her decisions, “...(the) long procession of years to come (...) would belong to her absolutely” (202). As the story continues, it becomes evident that Mrs. Mallard’s confidence and jubilance holds direction in her long life to come. Ironically, however, Louise only lives to see the next few minutes of her life. As the shock of seeing the living dead births a heart attack; “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease- a joy that kills” (203). Ultimately, her gluttonous behaviour and extreme state of joy lead her to an untimely death when her eyes lay upon the presumed dead, Brently

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,

Although a scene of a funeral home might come to mind when a reader first hears a short story aptly named “The Dead,” the tale actually takes place in the festive setting of a winter dance at the home of the two aunts of the main character, Gabriel Conroy. James Joyce’s short story “The Dead” has a literal title, because its main concept is death – both physical death and spiritual death.

Gender equality is achieved when both men and women receive the same rights and opportunities throughout all areas of society. Often, it is men who are given dominance while the women are deprived of owning such superiority; this is called a patriarchal society. In James Joyce’s Eveline, it is quite clear that women were not allowed the equality of men in the social, political, and economic fields, primarily in the postcolonial times at which this book was written in. As Eveline’s life was greatly influenced by people of the male gender, her decision at the end of the short story suggests that she was significantly influenced by her religion, economic status, as well as her identity as a woman during this time period in Dublin, Ireland.
