Crime Scene Reconstruction
Review of Initial Crime Scene Investigation
In most major crimes, the initial crime scene investigation yields the
most information as to what actually happened. We can review the notes,
diagrams, photographs, videos and conclusions crime scene investigators
may have obtained during their initial phase of the investigation. Our
experienced staff will assist you in making a determination as to whether
the facts found at the crime scene support the conclusions being drawn.
In some cases we will recommend returning to the scene and attempting
to re-create the crime.
Review of Follow-up reports and Laboratory reports
After the initial crime scene review, our experts will review follow-up
reports. These may be submitted by police, private investigators, crime
laboratories or others and frequently contain information crucial to arriving
at the true answer in the case.
What may Bloodstain Pattern Analysis do for your case?
Bloodstain Pattern Analysis may on many occasions, clearly define the
location of the victim or the assailant(s) by establishing the actions
of either or both. Possible and impossible scenarios may be established
to determine if the victim/witness/assailant is accurately describing
what took place.
* What type of weapon or impact occurred to cause the bloodstains present?
* How many times was the victim struck ?
* Where was the victim(s) at the time the injuries were inflicted?
* Where was the assailant(s) during and following the assault?
* Is the bloodstain evidence consistent with the medical examiner's findings?
* Is the bloodstain evidence on the suspect and his clothing consistent
with the crime scene?
Examination of Crime Scene Evidence
By examining the actual physical evidence from a crime scene, our experts
can verify the results of previous examinations made and/or conclusions
reached. In some cases, our examination will reveal additional evidence
which may be vital to the case. Trace evidence such as hair, fibers, glass,
paint, insulations and many others, may be recovered from clothing and
other surfaces using a variety of techniques. These include various light
sources and removal of visible or not readily visible material by using
sticky tape lifts. Examination of this material may allow an association
or elimination to be made between an individual (suspect or victim) and
other people, places, or things that are involved in the investigation.
Many other types of evidence such as latent fingerprints, firearms residues
or projectiles, blood, semen and a host of other types of physical evidence
should not be overlooked.
