Determining If Anna Garcia Was Found At The Crime Scene

765 Words4 Pages

At the crime scene, there was multiple pieces of evidence that may lead to figuring out if Anna Garcia’s manner of death was natural, homicide, or an accident. The evidence found at the scene includes fingerprints, blood, a shoeprint, hair, an unknown substance, and blood spatter. One of the multiple pieces of evidence that was found at the crime scene was a fingerprint. The fingerprint was tested and proven to belong to Alex Garcia, her ex-husband. We know this because the fingerprint that was found at the crime scene matches the ridge patterns on Alex’s fingerprint exactly. The ridge pattern category for both the fingerprint at the crime scene and Alex Garcia’s fingerprint is a tented arch. However, Alex met Anna at her house the night …show more content…

Our results were limited because both Anna Garcia and Erica Piedmont’s blood clumped with the Anti-A serum and did not clump with the Anti-B serum, we did not have accurate results. However, due to further DNA testing using gel electrophoresis, we discovered that the blood belonged to Anna. Since there wasn’t much blood on the floor near the body, we can conclude that she hit her head after she had died. At the crime scene, a muddy shoe print was found. The shoe print appeared to have semi-circular spots on the bottom. These circular spots matched the semi-circular spots that were also on the bottom of Anna’s shoes. Since Anna’s shoe print was muddy, we can conclude that she was outside somewhere before she died. It was reported by her neighbor that she often took her dog for walks outside. Using this information, Anna may have died shortly after returning from her daily walk with her dog. One of the pieces of evidence at the crime scene was hair that was caught around a hair tie. The hair tie was found with hair caught in it and lying next to Anna Garcia’s body. A microscope was used to compare the hair that was found at the scene to Anna’s hair and other suspects. After looking at and comparing each suspect’s hair, I was easily able to conclude that the hair belonged to Anna Garcia. The hair that was found at the crime scene perfectly matched Anna Garcia’s

    After a detailed comparison, the sole of Anna’s shoes matched the footprint found at the crime scene. We completed a blood spatter analysis which told us that Anna was struck/ blood fell from a height similar to the height of the table. So we can make the assumption that Anna hit her head on the table causing the bleeding on her head. Another thing we did was a DNA analysis using gel electrophoresis. The restriction enzymes cut at the same places at Anna Garcia’s DNA samples as the DNA samples found at the crime scene, therefore the DNA located at the scene belong to Anna.

  • Richard Ramirez Analysis

    The Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case was one of the first major cases to use automated fingerprinting technology (Frese, 2011). Today, the fingerprinting database gives various probable identifications, then a trained fingerprint expert must compare the prints to find a likely identification. Considering that Ramirez's prints were found on the mirror of a stolen vehicle we can conclude that his fingerprints were two-dimensional, therefore the prints are termed as latent or residue prints. The authorities at the crime scene power-dusted his prints considering that is the best physical method for collecting fingerprints. Once analyzed using the ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation and verification) method, the fingerprint expert was able to identify them as belonging to Ramirez.
