What Are Some Of The Reasons Why He Was Considered Disorganized
In this scenario we can say that this was a disorganized offender. The reasons they would be considered disorganized is because the crime scene was sloppy, he did not have a weapon, he came into the house careless and upon entering the house wounded himself by getting cut on some broken glass which left behind his blood for a DNA analysis. Furthermore, the arson did not work out and he left a number of valuable things behind. There is also the fact that what he did take was not that valuable because all of the valuable things she had were still at the home. Therefore, if he had been an organized offender the evidence that was left behind would have never been left and he would have cleaned the scene before leaving.

An experience arsonist would have burned the entire house down and left no evidence. This person tried to start the fire by piling paper on the stove and then turn on a burn to light the paper. An experience arsonist would have never started a fire this way. Furthermore, he would not have tried to burn her body with paper that he had lighted from the stove because he would know that it would not work.
The kill took the sash in order to remember his victim and as a trophy of the crime. He could have also taken the sash as evidence that he did kill the victim if it was a murder for hire. Furthermore, the sash from the dress could have been the first thing the killer ever saw her in and wanted to remember her that way. There is also the fact that this is his way of psychologically coping with the rape and killing of the victim because of his own social or sexual down falls.
The killer in this scenario took the pillowcase so that he could place the stolen items in it. He used the pillowcase as if it was a bag. Therefore, he could carry a lot of items without dropping any because we know that her jewelry was taken but we don’t know how much jewelry she had in bedroom. Therefore, rather than take a chance of not being able to get it all he uses the pillowcase to get as many things as possible in it and get

    Also, based on the statements made by the occupants regarding smoking cigarettes, I would want to know more about how they normally discarded/dispose of their cigarette butts. Are they dumping an ashtray in a trashcan inside or outside? Could there have been an ashtray on the table next to the sofa which contained either a still lit cigarette or a smoldering cigarette? If so, what type of ashtray? Metal, glass, heavy or lightweight? If any windows were open and the ashtray was light enough, could it have blown off or blown then cigarette off onto the sofa and ignited the fire? This is a working theory because there are questions which need to be…

    In February 1981, after daily paper records of the fiber analysis, the killer started dumping bodies in Chattahoochee River. The victims were additionally bare, or nearly bare. It gave the idea that the murderer was observing media coverage of the killings, and changing his strategies to decrease fiber evidence on the victim's bodies. Police started staking out bridges along the Chattahoochee River with an end goal to find the murderer dumping a body. Early on the morning of May 22, 1981, police stake out heard a splash and spotted a station wagon on the James Jackson Parkway Bridge, in which the vehicle was stopped and the driver was twenty-three-year-old Wayne Bertram Williams, a music promoter. He was questioned by police, and claimed that…

    First of all, in “Trail by fire”, the primary evidence for Cameron’s execution was the result of the police’s investigations after the fire, which determined that the fire had been started by using sort of accelerant. This included a finding a patterns on the floor in the shape of puddles. All of this considered to indicate that the fire has been started by the help of an accelerant. However, there was a new evidence to prove that Cameron was innocent, which is the phenomena of “Flash over”. Flash over is a scientific phenomenon which happens when the majority of the exposed surfaces are heated and emit flammable gases; consequently, flashover normally occurs.…

    The authors of the M-TTAF are using the broader term “fire-setting” rather than “arson”. The rationale behind this distinction was that “arson” is a legal definition of deliberate fire-setting, which varies across jurisdictions and therefore leads to discrepancies (Gannon et al., 2012). Gaynor (1996) suggested that fire-setting can be defined as the wilful act of setting fire, which represents an increasing fire-related activity. This activity progresses within three stages, starting with fire interest, followed by fire play and fire setting (Gaynor, cited in Winder & Banyard, 2012).…

    In the article “Odds Improve That A Hot Game Of Craps In Mrs. O'leary's Barn Touched Off Chicago Fire” it states the proof of the real culprit,”These inconsistencies led Bales to conclude that Peg Leg had actually started the fire himself, perhaps while feeding his own family cow on the O'Learys' hay, and lied to cover it up.” He did start the fire but, just lied to the people and they actually believed him but, he was the only one who knew the truth. Louis Cohn didn't start the fire because if he wanted to cause the fire there must be a reason to do it or it would have been an accident.

    A: I believe that the unknown mass murderer in Arizona was a set-and-run mass killer. I believe this because firstly the offender has already left the scene before the police arrived and is not committing suicide. This is highly unlikely with mass murderers, because usually the want to be known they want people to know who they are and why they have committed the mass murderers. But this kind of offender doesn't have that as one of his goals, in this case the offender stayed anonymous and no one knows who he was and why he did what he did. Also, why I believe that this offender was a set-and-run mass killer is because by looking at his victimology, the victims was all from different backgrounds and it seems like the victim just had the bad luck to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. In this case it is the locations that is the most important one. The location where the offender committed his crimes was in drug and/or convenience stores. In this case the victims is not what is important to the offender, the locations are the important detail like the set-and-run mass killer.…

    Pyromania Research Paper

    Pyromaniacs have an intense obsession with fire while Arsonists enjoy the effects that fire can cause. For example, arsonists enjoy that their fires can have such an impact on everyone else. They start a fire and suddenly people are screaming fire trucks come hurtling down the road with their sirens blaring and it is in the news the next day. "A single match and a little gasoline provide great destructive power, which has an especial appeal for those who are physically, emotionally, or intellectually handicapped."(Macdonald 193) as said by John M. Macdonald in Bombers and Firesetters. Arsonists often have a lust for any type of power they can get. But how can you identify an Arsonist? Is it that manic look in their eyes as they wreak havoc on the surrounding landscapes while laughing hysterically? According to Harvey M. French "Experienced detectives and arson investigators recognize that they cannot rely upon this theory. Even with the modern scientific and medical technological advances, medical authorities on human behavior are in disagreement on appearances, causes, and effects of human behavior in the field of violent acts such as incendiarism." (French 17) French claims that this is simply how arsonists are depicted in novels or films but his statement is contradicted in Accidental or Incendiary by Richard D. Fitch and Harold A. Porter, both of whom are investigators in the Baltimore County Police Bureau. They claim that "He [the arsonist] may appear excited or in a daze at the scene of the fire. His eyes may appear glassy or he may have an excited type of stare." (Porter&Finch 51) Sergeant Finch and Corporal Porter also go on to explain that some arsonists have a type of pyrophilia where they receive a kind of sexual gratification from the chaos they have caused. These are all characteristics of an Arsonist. Pyromaniacs simply have impulsive urges to set things on fire. They will light anything and…

Her ambition is seen when she asks, “That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark To cry “Hold, hold!” (Act 1, Scene 5) She knows her own weakness. She claims she is more manly than Macbeth, that she can carry out the act because he is too cowardly. But she knows her conscious will battle with her if she has to be the one who thrusts the blade into duncan, sealing his fate. She asks to not see the wound she makes so she will have a clear conscious and will not be riddled with guilt.
