Bam! Rodger shut the door with frustration and walked back to his desk. Rodger is a police officer at New York Police Department and had just found out he had been moved from being a normal police officer to an investigator. The NYPD were desperate for an investigator and have moved Rodger to being an investigator. As Rodger packed up all his stuff and moved to his new room at the NYPD office he realized that there is a huge file on his desk with tons of dust stuck to it. He quickly glanced at the file and it showed a fingerprint and read the date December 5, 2014. It had been 2 years since this file had been looked at. Rodger was anxious to see what was in this file. Then Rodger quickly organized his whole room and sat down to read the file. He brewed …show more content…
As 2 months passed by, Rodger got a response with a 97% match with the evidence he had provided. The suspects name read, “ Justin Baldwin.” As Roger ran the name through his records he found some information on this guy. This suspect had a clean record. Now all the doubts started coming to Rodger’s mind. Was it really a 97% match? Was the DNA from the hair accurate? Is it worth spending my time in this case? Rodger decided to proceed on with this case and found out more information. The suspect lived in Manhattan, New York and not too far away from broadway. Maybe a mile or two. After 2 weeks of more researching from Rodger, he finally went to the address that the record books had given him. As Rodger walked near this address the environment around was very shady, and very quiet. Rodger thought this area was very suspicious and kept walking forward until he reached the address. When Rodger arrived at the given address he saw that there had been wood cut out and put on the door so you couldn’t see through. He knocked on the door twice, and no one would answer. Then he tested the finger prints that he had with the ones that were probably on the door knob. The machine told Rodger that it was
The crime occurred inside the residents of 28 S. Daisy Avenue Apartment A, on the living room couch. The apartment complex has a common walkway which is located on the south side of the complex. Chuldzhyan’s apartment has a private court yard which is on the south side of the property.
The officers began to search the apartment without a warrant. As the officers continued searching, one of them (Officer Nelson) found some expensive stereo equipment. The officer had a hunch that the equipment was stolen, so he moved the stereos to record the serial numbers. He then called police headquarters and it was confirmed that indeed the stereo equipment had been stolen. The officers then seized the stereo equipment.
One July afternoon in 1931 on a cloudy and cool afternoon a police officer walks in the local areas detective office. The officer sets a dirty folder with a big brown splotch on it, which seems to be a coffee stain. Inside the stained folder contains 2 printed pages of check copies.

„h Several hairs were recovered from the victim; tests revealed that they were not from David Hicks. One was found to be consistent with Asian hair, another consistent with Lester Busby, the grandnephew.
Instead of searching for potential suspects among surrounding towns, authorities questioned locals, especially Dan Rassier, the owner of the driveway where Jacob Wetterling was abducted. Since Dan Rassier has been a person of interest for many years, authorities refuse to clear his name, despite all the evidence gathered proving his innocence. Rassier has been willing to help out as much as he can by agreeing to undergo lie detection tests, DNA tests and hypnosis (Rassier). Not only have authorities targeted him for twenty years and still ongoing, during one interview with a BCA agent, Rassier explained the agent’s plea: “He was basically saying, ‘we don’t have anything on you but would you admit…we could end this and you admit that you did this,’” (qtd. in Murphy). Not only have law enforcement pressured Rassier to take responsibility of the crime, in June of 2010, authorities approached him with several search warrants and heavy digging equipment (Murphy; St. Cloud Times Staff; “Wetterling Investigators”). Although it was unable to be specified which items were taken back to forensic labs for testing, several truckloads of dirt were seen taken away from the farm property. (“Wetterling

Throughout the trial, there were multiple points in which Bibbins had false accusations thrown against him from the victim and the law enforcement of Baton Rouge. The victim clearly misidentifies her rapist and clearly is distraught while identifying, "The victim's initial description of the attacker was a man with long and curly hair, wearing jeans. Bibbins was wearing grey shorts and had short, cropped hair at the time" (Innocent Project). As with false accusations there were multiple occasions in which evidence proving Bibbins innocence were not present during the trial. Baton Rouge police had discarded evidence from the crime, "The allegations of evidence tampering gained credibility in 2003 when DNA testing unavailable at the time of Bibbins' trial excluded him as the girl's rapist" (Sherrer). Eventually Bibbins is able to use this information of evidence tampering to help strengthen his case against the city of Baton
On 03/25/2016 at about 1929 HRS, I received a phone call from Deputy David Melcher advising he was currently at the scene of a Burglary, located on the NW corner of Juco Rd and Frey Street extension (NE 30 Rd and NE 10 Av). Deputy Melcher advised that upon his inspection of the scene he had observed some very good Shoe Impressions and some possible fingerprints and palm prints as well.
Nowadays, DNA is a crucial component of a crime scene investigation, used to both to identify perpetrators from crime scenes and to determine a suspect’s guilt or innocence (Butler, 2005). The method of constructing a distinctive “fingerprint” from an individual’s DNA was first described by Alec Jeffreys in 1985. He discovered regions of repetitions of nucleotides inherent in DNA strands that differed from person to person (now known as variable number of tandem repeats, or VNTRs), and developed a technique to adjust the length variation into a definitive identity marker (Butler, 2005). Since then, DNA fingerprinting has been refined to be an indispensible source of evidence, expanded into multiple methods befitting different types of DNA samples. One of the more controversial practices of DNA forensics is familial DNA searching, which takes partial, rather than exact, matches between crime scene DNA and DNA stored in a public database as possible leads for further examination and information about the suspect. Using familial DNA searching for investigative purposes is a reliable and advantageous method to convict criminals.
The court must find more evidence and not to depend on eyewitness testimony and to look for the best people as possible. Besides, there more evidence that DNA testing. Eyewitness must be proven in order to arrest the right suspect and question the suspect to get more evidence in steady of keeping in prison for false witness. The police for tracking everywhere the suspect went and people the suspect contact with that time. It will solve the problem by asking the eyewitness question and the suspect questions to see if both things they said

The use of DNA evidence in criminal investigation has grown since 1884 when it was created by Dr. Alec Jeffrey’s. DNA testing has help law enforcement identify criminals and some difficult crimes such as: Rape, murder, etc. this paper seeks to summarize the major development in the history of efforts to identify criminals.
