Two detectives were assigned to the case: Harry Hanson and Finis Brown. [2] When they and the police arrived at the crime scene, it was already swarming with people, gawkers and reporters. The entire situation was out of hand and crowded, everyone trampling all over any hopes for good evidence. [2] One thing they did report finding was a nearby cement block with watery blood on it, tire tracks and a heel print on the ground. There was dew under the body so they knew it had been set there just after 2 a.m. when temperatures dropped to 38 degrees.
It was a 92 degree fahrenheit morning at 9:45 on August 14th, when Doug Greene placed a call to 911. He informed the police that he was concerned because Anna had been seen wearing a sweater the previous day despite the unusual heat and wasn’t answering her calls or her door. Both the police and the EMT arrived at the crime scene at 9:56 am where they found Anna Garcia lying on the floor. They entered the crime scene and declared Anna dead. The crime scene was then secured at 10:20 am for investigation. The crime scene was confined to a 10’ by 20’ entry hallway. At the crime scene, investigators marked areas where vomit, blood stains, blood spatter, footprints, a strand of hair, scattered pills, a syringe, and dirty cup were lying on the floor.

The city coroner was contacted and responded to the scene. The coroner identified the deceased as 23 year-old Rod Dixon. The coroner inspected the victim and relayed he was shot four times at close range. I made contact with a witness who stated he saw four black men in the park last night. The method I would use to find the suspect (s) in the shooting began with the witnesses accomplishing written statements on what they saw or heard and look at a lineup of photos to help identify the suspects.
On Tuesday, September 23rd, I had the opportunity to do a ride along with the Takoma Park police department. My ride along was quite interesting. I rode with Officer Carl, a twenty-six-year-old officer who has been with the police department for six months. During the ride along we engaged in so many conversations concerning his work routine, and some the important things to be aware of as a police officer. Officer Carl and I were about the same age group so I felt much comfortable talking to him. Before I went for the ride along I had a different perspective about police work, I thought police work was much amusing and entertaining, but after the ride along with Officer Carl, I have realized that there is much more to police work and it often

She had just sent her favorite maid (this type of maid was usually a ruler's favorite maid because her job is only to bring or take things from one location to another.) down to the kitchen to pack her a picnic basket full of cheese, powerade (so they could have plenty of energy to be able to be out in the cold rain), a full water bottle (because the Queen didn’t know how long she would be without it), bread, and the special assorted meat from the butcher shop down the road that provides all the protein for the kingdom. Then her father came in the room. “Honey what on earth are you doing?” “I’m packing my things! And you should begin doing the same father. We are leaving.” “Leaving? Why? Where? Don't get me wrong I have wanted to get away from Mr. Ross since the day I met him, but why now sweetheart? Did something happen with Anthony?” “Yes something did happen with Anthony. It is too much to explain right now, father please just go pack your things, we need to leave.” He nodded sympathetically and left. He was finished in two minutes so they headed to the kitchen, got the basket of food, and headed out into the rain without any goodbyes, or any sign of where they would go
