Whitney Colclasure accompanied the victim, but was unable to receive a statement. The whole scene was photographed. The victim was the primary evidence; A. Dudley was wearing a hospital gown lying on the hardwood floor, his head in the southwest corner and his feet facing northeast. He was lying with his mouth open and his eyes closed. Fresh blood was visible due to the lacerations on his right hand and a deep apparent knife wound to his upper left thigh. His hand wound possibly resulted in self-defense.

    Pam Fodrill Case Study

    • 1890 Words

    The popular television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigations has been on the air for 12 years, and it has brought forth the behind-the-scenes actions of criminal investigations, even if its portrayals are not always scientifically accurate. This has caused an interest in the forensic sciences that has led most people to a skewed view of how a criminal investigation actually works. The reality of a criminal investigation is that it is generally more tedious and difficult than the theory of criminal investigation would have you believe. By examining the forensic and investigative procedures of the case of Pamela Foddrill, it is apparent that the theory of criminal investigation was not representative of the procedures concerning examination of the body, but that it was demonstrative of much of the investigatory steps taken by police, like search warrants. On August 18th, 1995, 44-year-old Pamela Foddrill disappeared from the town of Linton, Indiana. Pamela went to buy some groceries at the local IGA and was abducted: her body was found wrapped in a sleeping bag near Russellville, Illinois four months later. Roughly four years later, five individuals were held responsible for their part in the abduction, rape, and murder of Pamela Foddrill: Roger Long, John Redman, Jerry Russell Sr., Wanda Hubbell, and Plynia Fowler. Long, Redman, and Russell are serving life sentences, while Fowler pled out to 14 years and Hubbell pled out to 20 years of incarceration.…

    A crime scene investigator has a very important job when it comes to a crime scene. Now the purpose of a crime scene investigator is not just limited to homicides, sexual assaults, armed robberies, home invasions and property crimes such as burglaries (feinc.net. n.d.). However, most of their time is spent processing crime scene, packaging as well as transporting evidence and attending and photographing autopsies (feinc.net. n.d.). They also attend briefings and conferences with any police agencies that request their assistance on a case or cases. Therefore, at some agencies a crime scene investigator may work in the officer from Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. but they also have scheduled after- hours standby duties every…
