A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

SECOND EDITION

 

Crime Scene Indicators: Victim 2

The body had been discovered by a farmer at 7:45 A.M. on the way to feed his horse. The crime scene was located off a back road that ran along the town of Times Beach, which had been sealed off and evacuated due to dioxin contamination, therefore offering a solitary location with little traffic.

Sean’s body was beside a gate framed by two stone pillars leading to a pasture. He was lying on his back with his head pointing north, his feet pointing south, and both arms parallel alongside the body. He was dressed in brown corduroy pants, a cream-colored V-neck short-sleeved sweater, and blue tennis shoes. A search of the pockets revealed no personal effects and no means of identification.

There were two entrance wounds to the back of the head and one apparent exit wound under the left eye. The body was still warm to touch. Liver temperature was ninety-five degrees. Air temperature was thirty-eight to forty degrees.

Sean was identified by fingerprints in the county file. He had been stopped for a traffic misdemeanor a year earlier.
