We know that the fingerprints belonged to Alex Garcia. After examining the fingerprints found on the overturned table, we matched the ridges to the fingerprints of Anna Garcia and all the suspects, which resulted in Alex Garcia’s fingerprint matching to the crime scene fingerprints. We also identified the substance of the pills found on the floor next to the ground. After testing several possible substances, aspirin matched the crime scene substance, therefore the pills Anna took were Aspirin (also the toxicology report revealed she has trace amounts of aspirin in her body). We determined whose footprints were found at the crime scene by comparing it to the soles of the shoes of Anna Garcia and all the suspects.
The Death of Anna Grace From the outside anna Garcia's house looks like any other house, but after looking closer we find a crime scene. The deceased body of Anna Garcia was found face-down in the hallway of her home. Pills, a tipped over chair, news paper, and a cup were found Many questions were raised what happened,who did it, and when. But the most important is how, how did Anna die.
The first step is to place a drop of distilled water on a sterile swab and swab a small portion of the suspect substance, The place the swab against a presumptive blood test and an immediate color change should occur if the reaction is positive. If the stain is negative the suspected blood stain may be ignored. If the reaction is positive an evidence number is assigned to the suspected blood and the stain is photographed and measured. The forensic technician should note the stain was collected due to a positive reaction. The blood is then collected and packaged, and the package is sealed and labeled for identification Upon collecting blood if the blood is wet a sterile swab should be rotated in the stain, transferring the blood to the swab.
The BPE was able to develop a theory in regard to the sequence of events that occurred in the kitchen. In the testimony Samantha was able to determine the type of force that was inflicted on the victim, the sequence of events at the scene, if the event was a homicide, and the type of weapon involved. (Young. Pg.287) To determine what type blood evidence that was located on Mr. David. You must first have an understanding of blood and blood in flight must be gained.

Upon our arrival I observed a female black, later identified as Victim Jazzmine Cage, lying on the sidewalk in front of 101 W. Washington Blvd, wearing a black bra and black underwear. I observed blood on Cage’s abdomen area and legs and a pool of blood on the
The perpetrator left a fingerprint on the doorknob of one of the victim’s bedroom doors and a herringbone pattern tennis shoe print in one of the victim’s front yard near the front door. The police questioned about thirty to forty men in the area and focused on one main suspect, Hayes. The police went to Hayes home and requested a fingerprint, and Hayes
However, Chikatilo’s modus operandi, especially the eye mutilation, was too gruesome to overlook. As bodies piled higher, public fear and concern grew, regardless of lack of media coverage. When police investigations started in 1983, it was found that the offender had blood type AB. However, the police was more focused on known sex offenders and mentally disabled people. This allowed Chikatilo to continue his murder spree under the radar.
A positive aspect of this is that forensic scientists only need a small amount of a sample to get the results they need (“Forensic Science” 12). These samples can come from many other forms of identification other than fingerprints and bloodstains. A few moderate examples include strands of hair, tiny beads of sweat, and a saliva specimen (“Forensic Science” 12). Forensic Science Technicians stated that “crime scene investigators may use tweezers, black lights, and specialized kits to identify and collect evidence.” They also stated that examining autopsies prove to be beneficial in a crime investigation (“Forensic Science Technicians”
A blood spatter proved in a case study that a teen could not have murdered her parents. In a murder case where an 18-year-old, Sarah Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for committing a first degree murder for both her and dad. The case reopened when a retired crime lab technician Michael Howard “testified that whoever shot Diane and Alan Johnson at close range on September 2, 2003, would have been hit by a "rain" of blood spatter” (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/03/johnson/index.html?eref=sitesearch). Howard came up with his theories proving that, Sarah was not even close in committing those murders and it is a wrongful conviction. Based on blood spatter, Howard disclosed that the shooting which took place was at a very close range and
A comparative analysis was conducted between the portion of twigs found on Saunders’ hair and the wooden floor of the apartment rented to Leggette and Henneberry. The portion of twigs fit in the wooden floor of the dining room in a perfect re-alignment. (Leggette, 2014) Although comparative analysis clued the suspects related to the crime, the most effective evidence used in this crime was fingerprinting, an individual characteristic that attains an extreme high probability of associating the evidence found and gathered to the person or persons who committed the
Wise Blood and The Catholicism By Reem Abbas 43380421 Flannery O’Connor is one of the greatest Southern writers during the twentieth century. She is considered as a faithful and a good Christian writer. In her fiction, she never neglects her Catholic concerns. The large respect for O'Connor’s religion appears in most of her literary works.
Although, in our lab report, suspect ones DNA matched the crime scene when cut with enzyme one, this can be explained by how closely related the two suspects are. Therefore two enzymes were used to cut the DNA; the suspect has to match both. Moreover, the limitation to DNA fingerprinting is, if a person were to have an identical twin. This is because identical twins have the same DNA because they come from the same egg. If a suspect’s DNA matched that of the one being tested, and they had an identical twin, a farther investigation would need to be done.
In this log, one will learn about bloodstain pattern analysis and how it is used to help solve crimes. Bloodstain pattern analysis is portrayed throughout movies and television, most famously the television show Dexter. However, there is more to bloodstain pattern analysis than taking pictures and connecting string. There are three main categories of bloodstains: passive, transfer, and projected/impact stains.
The creation of Blood Spatter Analyst has changed the perspective all crime scenes which are intensely solved in a completely new direction. It is the examination of shapes, distribution patterns and location of the bloodstain in order to find the real image which was created in the crime scene. All bloodstains and bloodstain patterns are evaluated by the force they were originally created. ( http://www.bloodspatter.com/bloodstain-tutorial). There has been a vast change and growing environment for the bloodstain spatters as there work now is recognized and appreciated within the law enforcement and the court officials.
