On March 16, 2016, Mr. Rich Nix was found dead Wednesday at 9:00 AM in a remote hunting camp. The medical examiner arrived an hour later at 10:00 AM and later presumed that he died at 4:00 AM. At the scene, the victim was found dead on the table with a suicide note and pen, pills, broken mug, as well as a notebook. There were two people of interest which consisted of Patty (Mr. Rich Nix’s wife), and Sara Saint (colleague at Wayne State). Sara had been the last person Mr. Rich Nix had texted at 10:00 AM but the message had been deleted and was not able to be reviewed. Patty claims she had gone to her mother's home in Ohio (4 hours south) Friday and left from there at 10:00 AM, the rest of of week she worked from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, then Monday and Wednesday she attended yoga, finally on Tuesday she just went home. We are proceeding this case as a potential murder with Patty as a main suspect.
We rule out suicide as well as Sara as suspects. We rule out suicide due to

During the handwriting analysis, her collected exemplar was seventy-five percent compatible with that of the suicide note found at the crime scene. Some of these similarities include the way there are fancy loops in some letters, such as y, x, r, and b, it is clearly visible by the signature of the suicide note the r is exactly the same as the r she wrote on the calendar, when she wrote Rich’s birthday. Looking at ballistics, the test fire from Patty’s gun showed the same striations and landing as that of the bullet found at the scene. The firing pin of the casing of a bullet from Patty’s gun is compatible with the casing of the bullet found at the scene. We have evidence that Patty was careful enough to not leave her own blood at the scene. The blood found on the wall, and the pool under Rich Nix was B- which is compatible with the scene. The test from the glass that the mug and the broken glass from the victim's shoe are compatible in texture as well as
Anna Garcia died unexpectedly on a hot summer day. The EMT broke down the door and found Anna lying face down on the floor. The case is being investigated. The persons of interest are Alex Garcia, Anna’s former husband; Doug Greene, Anna’s neighbor; Erica Piedmont, Alex’s new wife; and Lucy Leffingwell, Anna’s best friend. The person who is most suspicious of having something to do with Anna’s death is her former husband, Alex Garcia.
The blood looked like it was coming out of Ms. Garcia's head and there was a table lying by her head as well. There were some pills and a syringe lying by Ms. Garcia´s stomach area. Additionally, there were tennis shoes with footprints on them and some white powder was found at the crime scene as well. The team then analyzed all of the evidence to figure out Ms.Garcia's manner and cause of death. The analysis of each evidence took the team one step closer to finding out how exactly Ms. Garcia
I would start by collecting the suicide note and have the lab examine it for any fingerprints or any other DNA. Also I would have a handwriting analyst examine the writing on the note compared to the history of the victim’s day-to-day handwriting. Then I would start to examine the body. I would look at enter and exit wounds from the bullet to see it they are in a line that would make sense of a suicide. I would check the firearm for fingerprints and do a ballistics test on the bullet to make sure it came from that specific gun. Also I would check the body for any kind of physical bruising or wounds that would suggest a struggle.
Emily Grierson was found dead in her Jefferson County home in Mississippi four years ago. Originally, her death was classified as natural cause, but now, it has been determined her death was a Homicide. Overwhelmed may they have been, the day of her funeral, when police also investigated the death of a man reported missing from New York City several years prior, Homer Barron. Ms. Grierson came from a well off family as she was the heirs over her late father’s estate. She was quiet and distant after the passing of her father, but her house itself was a nuisance to the community. But, was that enough for someone to kill her?
For the footprints, we compared the shoe details found at the scene with the shoe details of Alex Garcia, Doug Green, Erica Pidmont and Lucy Luffingwell. After searching through and comparing the shoe designs, we came under the conclusion that the footprint belonged to Anna herself, nobody else has the same shoe design as her own thus giving us the idea that it was not homicide. When we tested the pills, we made a chart testing multiple different indicators. We tested to see if the pills we had selected for the

While I’m relieved to see her among the living, a surge of anger welled inside me, as I’m grasping her hand. I’m determined to prove that the Yokeman explosion was done by a killer. First things first, I needed some closure on bible verses, I needed to get in touch with Ryan. I pulled out my phone and left a message on his social media page, I started to type out a message to leave for him to get back with me… I stopped right before hitting the send button. My suspicions tell me that this could be the wrong approach, and I need to be more direct. I needed to find out where he lives, never have I felt just an investigative drive. I didn’t care to make this into the paper, for me it’s personal. I left Becky’s side with newfound resolve and made my way to my car. Before getting inside, I reach into my bag and grab my phone, bringing up the screen where I hesitated to send the message I was making before. After a brief pause, I hit send. My
Finally, an evidence shows that the suicide happened with a vague plan is that she think the reason of taken medication was
Every thirteen minutes in the US there is a suicide. Depression affects around twenty-five percent of people eighteen years old and older, but is a completely treatable disease when given proper therapy and medication. Conrad Roy III of Fairhaven, Massachusetts was not given this treatment though before his death on July 13th, 2014. He was even encouraged by his girlfriend, Michelle Carter, to take his own life. She never called for help. She never tried to tell him it was a bad idea. She never told anyone of the plan. Therefore, Michelle Carter is responsible for the death of Conrad Roy.
A woman named Anna Garcia died on a 92°F summer morning during that day they had a heat wave. Doug used the 911 operator by calling in the crime that was committed by the murder. She was spotted by her neighbor named Doug at 6:30 am while walking her dog in a sweater. Although she was divorced with Alex and ended it badly, Doug and Anna were recently involved romantically but suddenly ended the relationship a week before her death. Alex and Erica are expecting a baby but they recently had a huge fight in a local dinner. In order to identify the killer the EMT were called so they could identify if Anna is dead or not. If she wasn’t then they would have to take her to the hospital in an ambulance but she was out cold. Now the crime scene investigator takes place by inspecting the death science to find evidence and process the scene. Their going to tell you the DNA found in the crime and any
The firearms and tool marks division of most forensic science laboratories have several tasks they may have to perform on items of evidence that come to them; this ranges from testing functionality of a weapon, restoring serial numbers, finding and comparing marks left from different tools at a crime scene, and comparing and analyzing bullets and casings. To be able to perform a bullet comparison, one needs to be able to distinguish several base class characteristics, and then look for individualizing characteristics on the bullet. Once examined, the bullet will fall into one of four categories for the report writing. To ensure the accuracy of any examination performed, the laboratory should have set quality
We matched the shoeprint to Erica Piedmont. The form and color of the hair found at the crime scene led us to believe it belonged to Erica, once again.The blood found at the crime scene, was tested against all the suspects, and Annas as well, the blood type belonged to only Anna. We also tested the DNA through gel electrophoresis, it was found to be Annas again. The blood splatter showed that she hit the table at a
