Mr. Humphrey Case

was associated with the death. The bodies were being taken away for autopsy as he took in the scene.

All the victims died in the afternoon and some died within an hour of a house call by Dr. Shipman, which established another pattern set by Harold Shipman. Dr. Shipman proceeded further by forging death certificates and orchestrated his colleagues approving forged cremation forms for the victims. All victims were cremated, which destroyed the evidence for law enforcement to be able to recover if needed. He was under the suspicion of murder but was never informed to stop practicing during any investigations or allegations (Daily mail.com). The British law enforcement officials never arrested Dr. Shipman

Forensic science has come a long way from where it was less than 100 years ago. It has only been relatively recently that the advancement of technology we use, has occurred. The Body Farm, an institute in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a place where dead corpses are left to rot and then studied on how the body decays in different circumstances. Death’s Acre: Inside the Legendary Body Farm tells about the farm from Dr. Bill Bass’ point of view, from the establishment of the farm, to the impact in the world of forensic science the farm has caused. David Pitt and Alynda Wheat offers their insight into the book in their reviews. The Body Farm has been a monumental stepping stone to the advancement of modern day forensic sciences. Dr. Bill Bass, is making

It was the midst of day, June 30, 20--; an ill-pleasuring mess had been proposed to the police of Detroit. The corpse of an old, clumsy, joke of a gentlemen, found covered in newspaper dumped into a dumpster. The corpse was dismantled, mangled, and at the same time of many other killings. The detective, Ms. Liu, immediately concluded the cause of death and the murder weapon.

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.

The first responders immediately recognized the stench of human decomposition, as well as Casey’s father – a detective. Furthermore, the smell was confirmed by a cadaver dog and I highly doubt a trained cadaver dog would mistake the stench of moldy food with the odor of decomposed human remains. Lastly, I find the testimony of Dr. Vass to be highly compelling given he is the founder of the DOA technique which he based on his research at the body barn. If there is any place where you can find some reliable techniques regarding human decomposition, I would presume it would be here. Unfortunately, this analysis was barely new around the time of the trial, so its lack of total acceptance in the scientific community created, in my opinion, a hole in the prosecutor’s case and gave some light toward the defense of Casey since you could deem Dr. Vass’ findings to be

As the search continued in the car, there was a smell of decomposition in the car. When Cindy Anthony first called the police she claimed “There’s something wrong. I found my daughter’s car today. It smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.” (Tru TV) later on when the car was taken by the police she said that the smell could have come from garbage in the car. The County Sherriff’s Detective Yuri Melich testified in court saying “I was a homicide detective for 2 years and in my opinion the smell coming from the car was the smell of decomposition.” (Examiner) To investigate the odor in the trunk, they brought in Dr. Vass who used a new technique to define the odor in the trunk. This was debated in court because it is a new technique. However the FBI laboratory used gas chromatography mass spectrometer, it isolated the compounds found in the car and 67% of the compounds were found linked to human decomposition. There were also high levels of chloroform found in the trunk, but the evidence could not be cleared as chloroform from a decomposing body or from that of something else.

At approximately 1:14 AM, dispatchers received a call from the residence of the Volupides on December 8, 2016. Queenie Volupide announced that she and acquaintances went out to a country club after her and her husband had a small quarrel. When she returned to her abode, she witnessed her husband, Arthur Volupide, fall down the stairs after she said he was coming down for another drink. The autopsy confirms that Mr. Volupide had been drunk. Officers arrived to the scene at 1:29 AM. After appearing to the home, it was taken in account that Mrs. Volupide herself was intoxicated. Mrs. Volupide’s statement informed us that she was only with her husband for 10 minutes, after inviting her friends over for another drink. She was the only witness.

In 1993, Thomas W. Hyde, a thirty-three year old male came to Jack Kevorich. He was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was unable to swallow without choking, was paralyzed, and had to go through continuous suction procedures. Jack Kevorich was a pathologist who assisted in patient suicide. Kevorich hooked him up to a carbon monoxide mask. Once Thomas decided to pull a sting monoxide would flow through the mask. Twenty minutes later Thomas Hyde died. Thomas Hyde was recorded on video telling Kevorich that he wanted to end his suffering and die. Kevorich was arrested in 1992.

I responded to 103 Martha George Hall in reference to a suspicious circumstance call. Upon arrival, I spoke with Daron Warren. Warren stated that he left his residence around 17:30 on this date, when he arrived back he noticed footprints in his living room. The footprints led to the bathroom area. Warren also advised that he didn’t notice anything missing. There were no signs of forced entry to the residence.

On 01/29/16 I arrived at 1871 Saturn Lane in reference to a welfare concern. It was asserted that the children at this address were being physically abused. I made contact with the residents, William Dunn 2nd and Christina Weatherly-Dunn and their children, Fiona 10 years old, William 7 years old and Gavin 2 years old. All three children exhibited some type of bruising, sores or scarring. Mrs. Weatherly-Dunn said the children’s sores and injuries are a result of a hereditary disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and not from abuse. Mrs. Weatherly-Dunn provided a pictorial journal documenting some of Gavin’s injuries from the time of his birth indicating Mrs. Weatherly-Dunn’s statements where true. While speaking with the Dunn’s I observed that their residence was extremely

In the Casey Anthony case Jeff Ashton who is a former state attorney in Orange county Florida, and also the first prosecutor in the United States to get a conviction based on DNA decided to use a new Forensic method in the Anthony case. The smell of death would be the allowed as evidence for the first time ever. In the trunk of Anthony’s car was a stained area on the carpet and an odor. Ashton stated that the smell was that of human decomposition. That piece of carpet was removed, sealed and sent to Dr. Vass, a forensic anthropologist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Dr. Voss has been studying human decomposition at the University of Tennessee’s “body farm”.

At the nearby Royal hotel, he recruited George Dunwoodie. "Put your hat on and come over. I think there's a man dead." Even before they turned off the road, George glimpsed the tent, a tent he suspected belonged to Peter Lumberg, and beyond the tent, a swarming cloud of flies. Although the body lay face down George recognised the man he met two days before.

A Pathologist testified about Mr. Vaugeois’ health conditions with respect to pathology. He stated that Mr. Vaugeois’ health was already deteriorating, due to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. He testified that he believed that the pepper spray, which was used in attempt to stop Mr. Vaugeois’ act of self-harm, did not result in death, considering there was a 40-minute gap until his cardiac arrest. However, he stated that because Mr. Vaugeois was restrained by paramedics while he was defensive on the stretcher, his heart rate would’ve increased dramatically. He added that additional elements, like irritation and anger would’ve introduced high levels of psychological stress. The jury heard that the time of death would be the time the heart stopped beating.

Imagine coming home to find one of your parents or siblings collapsed and passed out on the bathroom floor. Wouldn’t you immediately call 911? This would be the right thing to do; instead Mrs. V called her family doctor, whom she knew would probably take longer to arrive. While on the phone with the doctor, Mrs. V says, “he must have slipped on a cake of soap while he was in the shower.” Mrs. V also told the family doctor that she covered him with the towel and had not touched him. But when the doctor arrived, he discovers that Mr. V had a fracture at the rear of the skull. The doctor’s discovery suggested that there was foul play in Mr. Verbermockle’s death and that perhaps that Mrs. V knew about it. It is reasonable to conclude that Mrs.
