Introduction:

With the increase use of video and digital cameras to process a crime scene, one might think that preparation of the sketch is no longer needed.  However, this is further from the truth.  Several methods (Coordinate method; Triangulation method; and Cross-projection method) have been developed to best conduct a detailed sketch of the crime scene.  For this Lab, watch the video about “the man goes nuts…” and then provide the seven essential details to create a rough crime scene sketch for this video, to include other requirements (read “The Assignment”:).  Also, watch the second video to understand the process for creating a rough sketch.

THINK outside the box and have fun!

The Assignment:

1. Based on your initial review of the video title “man goes nuts…” complete an incident/investigative report (you are the initial officer on scene for this portion of this assignment, and the case number/OCA is 2020-0001), then 
construct a mock crime scene sketch with three pieces of mock evidence (In other words, you will be creating your own fake crime scene based on the crime that was reported in the video title “man goes nuts…”)
.  You can choose whatever items of evidence you wish to help you further with your investigation.  Evidence commonly associated with homicides include shoe print, fingerprints, something the suspects left behind like a cigarette butt, etc.

For this lab assignment, review the video below to further understand the steps in creating a rough crime scene sketch.  Then answer the topic areas:

2. Address of the incident:  123 Hall Road, Fayetteville, NC 28314.
