The article I read is Who Killed the Iceman? Clues Emerge in a Very Cold Case published by The New York Times on March 26th, 2017. This article is about how Detective Inspector Alexander Horn of the Munich Police was called by the head of a small Italian museum in Bolzano, Italy. Angelika Fleckinger is the director of the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology and wanted help solving a cold case. The case was about an unknown victim, nicknamed Ötzi, who has been in cold storage for a quarter-century. Ötzi is often called the Iceman as he is the worlds most perfectly preserved mummy, a Copper Age man who had been frozen inside a glacier along the Northern Italy border with Austria until warming global temperatures melted the ice and two hikers discovered him in 1991. The cause of …show more content…
The article mentioned that there are a few mummies around the world who are as well preserved like Ötzi. The glacier that froze Ötzi kept his organs and skin largely intact, which helped scientist even more. Forensic science is a key to help solve every modern murder case. But because Ötzi was over 5000 years old, scientists required the help of high tech techniques involving specialties like archeobotany and paleometallurgy. Scientist were able to recognize Ötzi as a 5 foot 5-inch man (which was the average height for this time), who weighed 110 pounds, had brown eyes and shoulder length, dark brown hair, and had a size 7 ½ foot size. He was about 45 years old which was reasonably old for the time period he lived in. Ötzi had the physique of a man who did a lot of walking, but his hands show that he was not a manual laborer. He barely had any fat on his body and had all of his teeth, but in between his two upper front teeth was a 3-mm gap, an inherited condition called Diastema. Scientists were able to find traces of pollen
The skeleton had a hideous impact to the community and was predicted by local investigators to be reasonably modern. To get better understanding and avoid confusion, a bone sample was sent to a laboratory in the USA for investigation and analysation using series of scientific
The Mummy Case of Paankhenamun has great significant in that it provides us with very fundamental evidence from ancient history. It does not only exhibit a complex form of art, but it also demonstrates the religious practices of ancient Egyptians in association with their beliefs in life after death, as well as their great fascination with immortality. It not only teaches us about the great science of mummification, but it also provides us all with the incredible opportunity to learn about the life of an ancient person.
For over a decade, a man recognized as the axeman murdered numerous people, and was never apprehended. The murder of Joseph and Catherine Maggio sniped the attention of many. All of the suspects have unfortunately been released because there has not been sufficient evidence to prove their guilt. However, the investigation led to affirm points to one suspect, a frightening guy named Joseph Mumfre.

No one was charged with her murder. Paolo LiCastri, Manriquez, Robert McMahon and Angelo Sepe’s murders haven’t been solved. Louis Cafora and his wife Joanna’s bodies were never found.

Frank Menna disappeared into the Witness Protection Prgram. Louis Werner convicted on May 16, 1979; married Janet Barbieri following his release from prison.
The second chapter of ' 'In Cold Blood ' ' focuses on the aftermath of the murders. While the townspeople and investigators cope with the murder of the Clutter family, the killers make their way to Mexico.
How can it be that four members of a family, such as the Clutters, could have been murdered in cold blood? Who would want to commit such a horrible crime? What could the killer’s motivation be? These are key points and questions for the book “In Cold Blood”.
The novel Cold Mountain is about two peoples’ independent journeys through different struggles and situations at the same time. One of these people is Inman, an injured soldier who is trying to find his way home after deserting from the fighting. He meets a lot of strange people along the way. Some of them help and some of them hinder. However, they all teach him something about himself, or something that he can relate to himself. There are some characters that are more significant in this respect than others and they have more of an actual influence on Inman’s journey.
Tragically, the butchered upper-torso of Winter’s once-robust body was stumbled upon by his father, who had noticed the absence of his son since Sunday, March 11 (Smith 2002, 25-26). Unsurprisingly, an investigation occurred to obtain the identity and whereabouts of the murderer. When the various pieces of the body are found in differing areas of the town, theory begins to formulate that the murder was conducted by one of the two butchers in town; Adolph Lewy, a Jew, and Gustav Hoffman, a Christian, due to the precision of the cuts made upon Winter’s body (Smith 28).
Perhaps the most notorious of burial practices originating in Egypt is that of mummification. Why such an extraordinary attempt was made to preserve cadavers may seem
5000 years ago, a man known to us as tzi died in the mountains. 1991 he was discovered again, turning into a mystery scientists would work on in the years to come. Evidence showed the scientists that he had been murdered, and they already know how he died, but exactly why was this man murdered? Using the evidence they collected from the injuries to his body and the objects they found with him, the scientists try to find out what the reason for his death was. The question has been keeping everyone stumped for a long time.
CONCLUSION “There are just too many variables,” said Dr. C. Michael Bowers, author of “Forensics Dental Evidence: An Investigator’s Handbook,” (Bowers, 2004.)
about a mans body found in 1991 in the Italian alps by Erika and Helmet Simon. These two very experienced climbers discovered a frozen Iceman wearing very little and strange clothing. The man had lain there for thousands of years and once Sykes and other scientist from Oxford analyzed his DNA, they found ...
The death penalty is killing people for their murderous action. A book called In Cold Blood talked about people dying or being robbed. Two people named Perry and Dick did that, and now they sent themselves to jail and will get the death penalty for what they did. What they suggest for the death penalty now is rich never hang. Only poor and friendless, finding guilty people to death penalty, and defendants that stand up to the jury will get the death penalty.
The frozen corpse also gave modern science the opportunity to forensically investigate and positively determine how Otzi the Iceman was killed.
beneath the Arctic ice. The finding, a 300 years old meteorite with fossil, is made public during the presidential elections and this is a devastating blow for Senator Sexton who has been criticising NASA for errors throughout the campaign. The president sends Rachel Sexton ,a White House intelligence analyst and daughter to senator Sexton , along with four other ordinary scientists and a team of highly ranked NASA scientists up to the Arctic to verify and confirm the authenticity of the finding.
