Crime Scene Investigation: Cases
built 169 days ago
The real crime scene is inside the hotel when an antique Japanese sword is stolen from an exhibition. As this investigation proceeds, the detectives will find that there are more deceptions in play. Another case involves the death of a teenage girl who's into the vampire cult. All the blood in her body has been sucked out.

In major cases with a lot of physical material and a large crime scene, you may want to use a portable tape recorder. By taping your observations and findings, you can include more details in your notes. In all cases, the tapes should be transcribed into a written record that you may carry into court.

If a CSI finds any firearms, bullets or casings at the scene, she puts gloves on, picks up the gun by the barrel (not the grip) and bags everything separately for the lab. Forensic scientists can recover serial numbers and match both bullets and casings not only to the weapon they were fired from, but ... to bullets and casings found at other crime scenes throughout the state (most ballistics databases are statewide). When there are bullet holes in the victim or in other objects at the scene, specialists can determine where and from what height the bullet was fired from, as well as the position of the victim when it was fired, using a laser trajectory kit. If there are bullets embedded in a wall or door frame, the CSI cuts out the portion of the wall or frame containing the bullet -- digging the bullet out can damage it and make it unsuitable for comparison.
