Gunshot Residue: Now You See it Now You Don’t
Gunshot residue or GSR is an important component to any homicide crime scene involving the discharge of a firearm. It tells a story. The big question is how accurate is the story and is it retold correctly. As they say, some evidence may not be what it seems.
The best place to start is at the beginning of course.
First, a little background on GSR. What exactly is it? GSR is categorized as trace evidence and it is made up of the compounds lead, barium, and antimony. When someone fires a gun t...

We are fascinated by police movies. Since the dawn of Hollywood, we have been intrigued and entertained by films that depict the trials and tribulations of these defenders of justice.

KILLER ON THE LOOSE
Chapter 14 – Emily Stone
Emily kicked open the front door and quickly stormed the house. Anger and desperation overcame her. The interior was the same as she had left it minutes ago—empty and barely lived in.
She knew in her gut that the girls were close.
“Em,” Rick said breathlessly joining her side. It was obvious that he was stressed and out of constructive suggestions. “We only have minutes.”
“Check everything, I mean everything in the living room and kitchen areas.”...

Nick had to lie flat on his stomach before he could see it. The imperceptible rectangle underneath the bus.
“You lose something?” Matt asked.
“Remember that shell casing I kept from the Morrison homicide?” Nick asked while scrutinizing the compartment in the undercarriage of the bus.
“The one I told you to tag and inventory?”

“What about it?”
“It’s about to pay dividends.”
Matt got down to his knees and following Nic...

That is why it’s so important that every crime scene be treated as unique and investigated thoroughly.
Victimology is an information gathering tool that investigators use to he...

KILLER ON THE LOOSE
Chapter 12 – Emily Stone
The cell phone disconnected.
Emily rehashed the conversation with Nick and wished that he had given her more information. There was still hope that the girls were still alive.
“Em?” Rick interrupted. “What’s going on?” his tone was civil and even, but it had a definite sternness to it. His usual somber stare tried to read Emily’s face.
“Karl Saxon,” she replied. It didn’t make any sense to her, but she was going to get to the bottom of it.
