Out to Kill: Blood was found on the ground in front of an abandoned vehicle that police learn was driven by a college woman. The victim’s body was found in a neighborhood away from the vehicle. Tire impressions are taken, as well as other evidence. Investigators receive a tip about a man with a history of impersonating police officers. Investigators take tire samples of the man’s car, and find blood matching that of the dead woman. DNA samples from the man also match those found in the victim.
A young boy is reported missing. His friends reported having seen him speaking to an unknown man, and later they recalled seeing the boy in the man’s car. Police distribute a sketch of the man based on the boys’ accounts. A hotel clerk alerts authorities after a man checks into her hotel who she feels fits the description. The man is questioned, and investigators find blood and hair samples in the man’s car that match the missing boy’s DNA.
Sometimes, cooperation from people who are not associated with a crime in any way are the only link between a criminal, and the telling clues left behind for forensic experts.
Raw Greed: Two men are found dead, beaten to death in the bar where they work. They had both sustained multiple blows to the head. A safe from the bar was missing, as well as the money from a cigarette machine that had been pried open. A local television station received an anonymous letter about the murders, though no fingerprints are obtained from it. Witnesses tell police of a man who frequents the bar, and investigators arrest him on unrelated charges. A search of his home and vehicle turn up several objects, including a tire iron, which lab tests conclude was the same object used to pry open the cigarette machine. Handwriting analysis also links the man to the letter. He is sentenced to consecutive life terms for the murders.
A wealthy man is found beaten to death in his own home. A broken glass door suggests a forced entry. An autopsy reveals the man was struck numerous times in the head. Investigation reveals that the heir to the man’s will has been misappropriating funds. Divers search a pond behind the house and find a faucet pipe with the man’s blood on it. Though the heir denies the murder, her fingerprints match those found on the victim’s belt, and impressions from her shoes match those from the murder scene. The heir is convicted of first-degree murder.
Even ordinary objects, when used to kill, carry enough evidence for forensic scientists to piece together even the most complicated murders.
Murderous Attraction: : A woman is rushed to the hospital due to a massive seizure that caused her heart to stop beating. Once stabilized, doctors are mystified, as the seizure has left the woman paralyzed and unable to speak. The woman’s husband, who regularly visited his wife, attracted the suspicions of the woman’s nurse. Those suspicions were realized after a doctor ordered several tests of the woman, one finding six times the lethal amount of arsenic in the woman’s system. Upon questioning, the woman’s husband, who had recently increased the amount of life insurance he had on his wife, admitted to poisoning her.
A frantic man calls 911, claiming his wife has shot herself in the head. Police respond to find the woman dead. Her husband and neighbors are questioned, but there seems to be no foul play involved. It seems she had been suffering from depression for quite some time. Though the initial cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to the head (suicide), when a forensic scientist specializing in bloodstain interpretation is brought in, all signs begin to point to the woman’s husband as the murderer.
The most sacred of vows are sometimes not even enough to stop people who are intent on getting what they want, no matter what the consequences.
