Petra Meyer Forensic Analysis

To record a crime scene, forensic scientist can use photography, drawings, and videography. Photographs are an important record of the unaltered crime scene, Drawings or sketches provides valuable information when a photograph cannot accurately depict the scale of a room or the relationship of items to each

The desert is a dry barren land, desolate, abandoned; in the distance, 2 palm trees stand tall like an oasis of shade from the intensely hot sun. The Devil’s Highway, a journey taken by Mexican migrants in May 2001 across the border into the United States. Twenty-six men taken through one of the most pernicious pathways in North America. Recorded by Luis Alberto Urrea, a Mexican-American journalist and novelist, who focused mainly on the individual stories of each man as he pointed out why they were there and why they were leaving. Urrea illustrated Mexico’s genesis form the Native Americans to the Spaniards and smugglers, each illustrating complex ethics to the Mexican Culture. Urrea also ventured into the story of Coyotes, La Migra, Pollos, and Polleros, formed a connection between each characters desperate attempt at a better life. It’s true that the thing that gives you life, the sun, is also what brings these men to certain death, and here the desert is seen best as

On Sunday, December 4th at around 9:30 pm, a corrections officer was shot in her vehicle in New York City. Alastasia Bryan, 25 was sitting behind the wheel of her gray sedan when a man walked up to her vehicle and shot her to death through the window (NBCNewYork). The suspect has yet to be identified, but surveillance videos show a man exiting his vehicle, walking up to Bryan’s vehicle and shooting her to death. After the shooting, the unknown shooter walked back to his vehicle and drove off (NBCNewYork). Whether or not Bryan was intentionally targeted or not is still unknown. Sunday night investigators were seen examining the scene where they found numerous bullet holes in the driver side window of the gray sedan (NBCNewYork).

Phoenix Jackson faces numerous obstacles from dense forest and wild animals, to a barbed wire fence and a big black dog. Through every barrier she makes a way to continue her journey she continues to rise. The Phoenix is known to rise from the ashes of its predecessors. Like her ancestors, before she took this same trip for freedom, Phoenix takes the path for her grandson whom she truly loves and will make this trip for his medications whenever it is needed. Phoenix’s rising out of the over-determination of this culture, as her name implies, is what the reader comes to appreciate (Dilgen, 2014).

Jeffrey MacDonald was a medical doctor who was tried for and convicted in 1979 for the February 1970 murders of his pregnant wife, Colette (26) and their two daughters, Kimberly (5), and Kristen (2). He was sentenced to serve three consecutive life sentences. In the early stages of this time, DNA had not yet been properly used to determine evidence at crime scenes. During this particular investigation, the most important forensic finding had to do with blood analysis. A distinctively unique aspect of this examination was the fact that each MacDonald family member had a different blood type. This provided investigators with a fundamental map of each family member's location and movements within the crime scene. This was an utter advantage

The main goal of this assignment is to identify the crime scene involved in Danielle Van Dame Case, and steps a forensic technician should take to process the crime scene.

An investigation into the development and application of fibre analysis and forensic genetics, with reference to the convictions of Wayne Williams, Simon Hall and Colin Pitchfork Within the last one hundred years, forensics has developed dramatically with new methods being used to convict criminals. Fibre analysis and forensic genetics are two of the most developed in terms of advancements in technology and their use in court to get a conviction. Wayne Williams, Simon Hall and Colin Pitchfork are breakthroughs in their convictions and so clearly demonstrate the development of forensics. Wayne Williams is a major case study within fibre analysis as it was a case based entirely on the fibres left on his victims. Simon Hall is the first murderer

(U) Young Barry Allen was a victim of losing his mother from the hands of an unknown murderer. Father was thrown in to prison for the accusation of killing Barry’s mother.

At the age of seven my IDEAL goal was to be able to be successful in life and to go into the field

Oral history and visits to archives or libraries are the two major approaches in my project. Considering the facts that many Korean War veterans or their relatives are mostly octogenarians, it is imperative to race with time to inquire them about how the identification of their loved ones brings them closure (or what kind of report can persuade them that their loved ones are indeed dead). Archival sources will be used to study forensic technology, operation of military forensic agencies, and U.S. foreign policies, and I will probe POW/MIA families’ opinions on these issues through interviews. Although such opinions may be gleaned from news articles, oral history collections, or journals of veteran organizations, interviews are to corroborate

In general, a forensic scientist’s job provides an objective, scientific analysis to discover the truth and use that truth in legal proceedings. Forensic scientists take items of evidence collected from crime scenes and determine their relevance to the case by examining and analyzing the evidence. There are various types of forensic scientists that specialize in specific examinations and analysis of different types of evidence. Eventually forensic scientists will testify in court and give their expert opinion on the item evidence that was analyzed by them. Personally, I have always been fascinated with forensic science because of the challenge of finding evidence and having to use that evidence to find the truth of what occurred at a crime scene.
