CRIME SCENE: You pull up to ????????? and see the crime scene in front of you. The victim, ????????? is on the ground in a pool of blood. You complete a luminol test and find that there is also blood on a broken window. You take samples of the victim's blood and the crime scene blood from the window back to the lab for further analysis. The detective of the case, Mr. Ninan, has four suspects that would benefit from ?????????'s death. Your job is two fold: 1. find out what each sample's blood type is and then, 2. figure out if you can narrow down your list of possible suspects. RESULTS BLOOD SAMPLE | Antiserum A | Antiserum B | Antiserum Rh | Blood Type Victim | | | | Crime Scene | | | | Suspect #1 | | | | Suspect #2 | | | | Suspect #3 | | | | Suspect #4 | | | |

Step 1
We can do this by looking at the results of the antiserum tests. For the victim's blood sample, we have the following results: Antiserum A: Negative Antiserum B: Negative Antiserum Rh: Positive This means the victim's blood type is **O+**. For the crime scene Show more…

Blood taken from a crime scene contains both the victim and the perpetrator's blood mixed together. DNA samples from the crime scene, the victim, and three suspects were taken and DNA fingerprinted. The results are show above. Which, if any, of the suspects can be tied to the crime scene by the fingerprint? [ Select ] none suspect 1 suspect 2 suspect 3 suspects 1 and 2 suspects 1 and 3 suspects 2 and 3 all three suspects

10) Which suspect should be charged with the crime? a) Suspect 1 b) Suspect 2 c) Suspect 3 d) None of these suspects 11) Whose blood was found at the crime scene? a) John b) Lisa c) Bob d) Sue Part B: Short Questions: 1. Mr. Smith was found murdered in his house. As forensic scientist you were called to collect crime scene samples. Please enlist precautionary measures you take while collecting evidence. Also enlist samples you will collect from crime scene. 2. What are STRs and VNTRs? What is significance of these in forensic analysis? 3. After collecting samples carefully how would you proceed with forensic analysis? 4. What is DNA fingerprinting? What is its use in forensic analysis?
In this crime scene scenario, there are a number of evidence types that you will need to collect. The crime scene is a single-floor house with a burned-down tool shed in the back. There is a mailbox that appears to have been hit by a car backing out of the driveway. It is 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity. The items you will collect include the following: 1. A vial of liquid blood 2. Stains on clothing that may be semen 3. A paper packet containing an unknown powder 4. Fumes from the shed that was burned to the ground, containing a body (the body will be handled by the medical examiner, not you) 5. Paint transfer apparently from a vehicle onto the mailbox in front of the crime scene 6. Hair and fiber found on a hammer with what appears to be dried blood In a 4-6 page paper, complete the following: 1. Describe the methods you would use to pack these items for transport to the lab. 2. Explain the danger of evidence degradation due to the environment. 3. Describe the instrumentation at the lab that might be used to examine the evidence.
