Jason Rivers was involved in Cindy Jones disappearance according to the DNA found on the purse strap. Rivers is a mentally challenged individual. Cindy come from a good home and didn’t deserve to die this way. Rivers has been in trouble with the law prior to this, twenty- five times to be exact. Rivers saw Jones at the grocery store. When Rivers got arrested they found him to be competent and remanded him to the state. The State Mental Hospital released Rivers and said that he was competent enough to stand trial. The case got put for trial on the docket. The jury came up with the conclusion that Rivers bumped into Cindy while in …show more content…

The same detective was romantically interested in the deceased as well. The former detective was harassing the deceased before she died. She reported it to the department but nothing was ever done. The first thing that needs to be checked out is the crimes that Rivers have been arrested for. Rivers, was a petty criminal, or was he capable of murder. I would also check on the former cop. I would find out did he have anger management. I would find out the relationship of the deceased and Rivers. I would find out why the former cop assaulted a woman after Jones was murdered. I would find out if the former cop was obsessed or mad with Jones cause she wouldn’t date him. His rage that he apparently has could have caused him to kill Cindy Jones. When you are mad sometimes you don’t know what you have done until it 's done. My main question is did the former cop imagine that he dated the deceased. Was this a crime of passion? Rivers may have been a little crazy but I really don’t think he is capable of such violence. I think he was …show more content…

He was probably was following her to make sure she got home okay. He was probably just a petty criminal. The former cop was probably a guy that can 't accept no. He probably felt some type of way cause she didn’t want him. Violent crimes in The United States dropped in 2013 to about 4.4%. There was about 181 women in 2005 that got murdered by their partner. There are about 4.8 million assaults that happened every year. It 's said that mentally ill individuals tend to be a victim more likely than a perpetrator. In recent years, there has been increased awareness of patients ' rights, integration of mentally ill individuals into the community, reduction or duration of hospitalization and of psychiatric hospital beds, and more abulatory services ( Melamed, Y 2010 ). Cindy Jones came across the mentally ill Rivers at the grocery store. It 's possible that Rivers could have bumped into her at the grocery store. The hospital said that Rivers was no longer on drugs and could stand trial. The only thing that ties Rivers to the crime is the blood that was found on Cindy 's strap to her purse. DNA doesn’t lie, but there is a question of how it got there. The blood found would have to be tainted to not be useable. DNA determines if an

    The first piece of evidence that led to this theory was ice tray that was located at the crime scene. Due to the chromatography paper which was tested in Forensic Lab 7, it was revealed that the ice tray was poisoned by the one and only Beverly Hilis. In the Forensic Report it states, “The ph in the ice water was 9”(Forensic Report). This is significant, because this was the exact same ice tray Max used in his drink. The only person that was able to poison Max at the crime scene was Beverly. This is important, given the fact that the chromatography tests results showed that the ice tray was poisoned, Beverly could have made the poison because she is use to performing experimental things especially being a Chemist. Another piece of evidence that led to suspicion was Dez’s towel which was found at the crime scene. In the Preliminary Report it states,“ I took my dog down to the beach for a walk around noon”(Preliminary Report). If Dez was not near the beach house during the time of the murder then it raises the suspicion of why his towel was located at the crime scene. In addition to Dez’s towel being at the crime scene there was also the smell of cologne on the towel. In Forensic Lab 4, after testing out each of our suspects (Dez, Beverly, Chloe, and Ray) cologne we concluded that the cologne does match Dez. Due to the Forensic Report it stated, “The smell that

    Many casualties’ happened within the two years between 1982 and 1984. However, when the first body was found in 1982 in the Green River in Kent, the police didn’t have the technology they have today, such as DNA testing which made the case very intricate. This meant identifying bodies that had been in the water for a while had been difficult, and the police were very versatile at this. Also without DNA testing, they could not take samples of the dead victims that showed up all around King County. In early October of 93, the police needed some insight into the mind of a serial killer, which is where Ted Bundy came in to facilitate. Mr. Bundy gave them advice by stating, “that the killer likely knew some of his victims. He also said more victims were probably buried in the dumping areas where victims had been found. Bundy also put a lot of significance into the different areas the bodies had been left, suggesting that each cluster or
