The purpose of the teams were to keep the awareness and consistency in the overall investigations at a maximum.
#BODY OF EVIDENCE CAR PARK SCENE SERIAL#
Several of our units were selected to become members of a team that would process the crime scenes believed to be related to the serial homicides. During all crime scene investigations involving a sudden unnatural death the body, being a part of the crime scene, is examined for the possibilities of evidence. In 1994 two sets of unrelated serial murders necessitated a close look at a number of protocols to be fine tuned in establishing how we would examine the corpse in our search for forensic evidence to those crimes. There is a knowledge and respect between each of the entities for their duties to the investigation. We have always enjoyed a strong working relationship with each of the individual entities. This will require cooperation, commitment, and communications between the detectives, crime scene, medical examiner, and laboratory personnel. The success of any investigation starts with a good working relationship between all parties that will be involved. The items of evidence are distributed to the particular forensic disciplines of the laboratory for analysis. Their task will include recognizing the items of evidence, documenting any and all evidence encountered, establishing a chain of custody with the items of evidence by isolating and collecting the items, securing the evidence by packaging each individual item in a way that it is not contaminated or lost during the transporting and routing of the items to the laboratory. Their assigned task as a forensic specialist deals with the physical evidence. The crime scene investigator or evidence recovery technician is a support entity in an investigative process. The forensic evidence left behind on the corpse, often times becomes the silent witness against those who commit the most heinous of crimes.Įach investigative entity in a homicide investigation has an assigned duty in the investigation. The corpse at the scene of a brutal homicide can often tell those investigating the death many things.
