Question

Imagine you are a crime scene investigator. You are called to investigate a crime scene in a wooded area where a missing person’s body is discovered. When you arrive at the scene, you find that the body is located near a rocky area where the footing in unstable. You also notice that the victim has a large head wound. A particular medium size rock near the body has dried blood on it. Also, a water bottle lies ten feet away from the victim. Write a paragraph about how you would carry out the search for evidence. What evidence would you collect from the crime scene?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the crime scene is located in a wooded area, I would request several more investigators to do a search of the area. These investigators have to spread out to do a line pattern search. While looking for evidence, I would first determine whether the body was moved. I would look for marks on the ground that would suggest that the body was dragged to where it was found. I would collect fingerprint evidence from the water bottle to determine if it was the victim’s or if another person was with the victim. I would also take samples from the clothing to determine if there is any trace evidence, such as hair, foreign fibers, or skin cells. I would collect several rocks from the area, including one with blood on it, as evidence. They would help me determine if the blood-covered rock had been moved, or if it had been used as a weapon.

Answer 2

First I would look for fingerprints on the rock and the water bottle than I would look for footprints and DNA (blood) from the murderer.

Thats aall I could think of ;-;
