The Crime Scene Of Detective Baskin

It was the beginning of October, and a 17-year-old teenager was hiding by a chain link fence. He had just stolen a purse from a nearby house, and a neighbor had called the police. An officer by the name of Elton Hymon had arrived and was trying to arrest the kid, whose name was Edward Garner. Garner began to climb the 6-foot fence, and Officer Hymon,

On July 12, 2005, Liana White, wife and mother, disappeared in northern Edmonton. At 5:45 am that morning a woman called to report an abandoned car, left open with personal effects, including Mrs. White’s licence, scattered around it (Edmonton Journal, 2007, para. 2, 4). The next day her husband, Michael White, made a public plea for his wife’s return as they continued searching for her whereabouts (Harding & Shaw, 2005, Timeline of Events, para. 3). By July 14, Michael had become a suspect and the police were all too happy when he decided to lead a search party of his own, in the hopes that, if Michael was in fact the reason for Mrs. White’s disappearance, he would lead them right to her (Edmonton Journal, 2007, A Turning Point., para. 14).

On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

After securing the outside perimeter, Crime Scene Investigators meticulously searched inside the dwelling; taking videos, photographs, and collecting over 1,000 fingerprints. The bedrooms had been ransacked but very few items of value had been taken. In fact, other items of value were left untouched such as cash (which was left in the open) and a safe, leading investigators to believe that robbery was not the motive. Among all of the evidence collected, two pieces of evidence

Hulga had been missing for three days when Mrs. Hopewell received a call from the police. Shortly after Hulga had gone missing, Mrs. Hopewell jumped to the conclusion that her daughter was in danger; as a result, she quickly notified the police about her daughter’s disappearance. Over the phone, an officer told Mrs. Hopewell that they had arrested a man whom they believed had something to do with Hulga’s disappearance.

All of a sudden the neighbors hear a car starting to start. It’s Les Goodman, one of the house owners on Maple Street, unaware of the situation. As he walks back to his house, his car starts up. As everybody rushes up to him in suspicion. They ask him questions

Beginning September 2015, my seventeen-year-old daughter arrived at my job to get lunch money. I could tell she had been crying so I went outside to talk to her. As I leaned against my car, that I allowed her to drive, I noticed a huge dent in the passenger’s side door. Reluctant to tell me, I already knew, her and the boyfriend had been fighting. I drove to the police station to make my first official report thirty that evening. Pictures were taken and the initial incident summary states “victims vehicle was kicked by an unknown suspect. The vehicle’s front door was caved in and had an obvious shoe print. Victim believes suspect 1 is the cause of the damage, but can not prove at this time.” Therefore, no charges were filed. We all have watched CSI at one time in or another, shouldn’t they be able to detain the suspect, match his shoe print to the

While she investigates the crime scene she is not wearing gloves which also shows how unprepared she is for the job. She does not pick up the evidence with her hand but with a certain tool, yet she should still be wearing gloves to avoid contamination. She also puts the evidence next to her face to smell it, which can easily transfer her germs into the evidence. When CSI investigators discover evidence, they immediately collect it. When the evidence is securely packaged, they take it to a lab to analyze it. In the movie, they do not do that; they figure everything out in that exact

The police clearly knew that there was another person involved from the way the crime scene laid out. The investigators were confused because they could not find a motive for a person to gun down the innocent couple, “On the face of it there was no reason for the crime. There was no theft. There was no sexual molestation. There was no murder weapon. Somebody else had been involved. But the gravel was too frozen to show footprints or even fresh tire tracks” (Lake Herman). Sadly, December 20th, 1968 a record for the coldest day was broken and this resulted in the ground being hard, so no footprints or tire tracks were shown. The crime scene led the police and investigators nowhere because nothing was left behind to point them in the right direction in

The physical evidence provided at the crime scene was very little, however, the meaning behind the evidence was useful to the police. Furthermore, evidence that was received after the crime was also useful. The lack of evidence at the actual crime scene, which was at a vacant lot at thirty-ninth and Norton Streets, was due to reporters, news media, and also citizens arriving before police and trampling all over the area, possibly erasing any evidence that was available. The investigation was dragged out due to how many suspects and confessions that developed; some claim that there were around fifty confessions while others claim the numbers go up to five-hundred (Newton 40). All of the leads that were produced probably led police in the complete opposite direction of the true killer.

An unfortunate incident occurred toward the conclusion of the 1920s, when robbers broke into Bill, Clara, and Anton’s garage and stole their brand-new Buick automobile. While Clara lay in bed on the eventful night, she heard noise outside. Fearful of the consequences of a confrontation with the intruders, to safeguard Bill she refrained from waking him. Blissfully unaware of the burglars, Bill slept through the night and didn’t discover the theft until morning.26 An investigation revealed that after breaking into the garage, the thieves pushed the car out of the garage, the full length of the driveway onto the street, and down the street away from the scene of the crime, before starting the Buick and driving it away. The authorities never recovered the automobile.27

evidences can tell what sex, age, and race of the suspect. If the scene was not

Police had found evidence with fingerprints that did not match his fingerprints at all. In Perloff’s article the fingerprint expert, Dr. Erastus Hudson, examined 500 prints and none of those prints compared back to Hauptmann’s. No evidence from the baby’s room or around the house can show Hauptmann guilty. This proves that there has to be more to this case then poorly associating Hauptmann guilty. There is also evidence to prove that the wife stuck up for her husband but had been shot down and physically beaten. According to the Los Angelos Times, “Appeals have been rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court several times. Hauptmann's widow has contended through her attorney that her husband was the victim of a conspiracy to conceal evidence. She has sought monetary damages” (Blackman). The wife believed they were just coming to conclusions because they wanted to put this case to rest. She had thought that the officials were not being fair. Police officers at the crime scene studied the foot prints outside of the house which were no where similar to Hauptmann’s shoes. Also in Perloff’s article, the police also had asked for Hauptmann’s shoes so they could compare the marks to his (Perloff). Hauptmann taking off his shoes to compare and the prints are even close to each other helps realize there has to be more than one person in on the event. Key evidence found shows how Hauptmann didn't show much to do with the

Mrs. Brooks claimed of some laundry stolen for the line outside her house and Mr. Clark told them a story of muddy footprints leading through his back yard. It seemed soon everyone had a story to give to police leading them from one side of town to the other with tales of clues given forth by the everyman. Police searched closets and basements, bushes and trees; anywhere they deemed a Nazi capable of hiding.

The following Thursday, Janet Brown didn’t go home after school. When her mother reported her missing, she told the officer, Janet she was going to a friend’s house and would be late coming home. After looking everywhere and finding nothing, it was as though she disappeared. From time to time, someone mentioned her name, but everyone thought she ran away, when her mother refused to let her date Mark. The police continued looking for her.
