Short of investigating an actual homicide, participating in a virtual death investigation is perhaps the most effective way to acquire a deeper understanding of how investigators gather information and solve cases. In this course, you will participate in an interactive virtual homicide investigation. The crime scene simulation is located in the Course Modules area. As you progress through the investigation, you will conduct interviews and examine case files, an autopsy report, death scene photographs, and forensic reports. Your goal is to solve the case and to gather sufficient credible evidence to convince the prosecutor to issue an indictment for the perpetrator.
Work the case carefully and take your time. Once you have successfully attained the indictment, write a final report that will serve as the basis for your arrest warrant of the suspect. In your report, be sure to identify the important forensic concepts, techniques, and practices from the textbook that are exemplified, illustrated, or demonstrated in the case investigation.
Everything you received in information should be summarized in your report. You should hit all of the following subjects:
Summary of Homicide
Summary of Armed Robbery
Summary of Witness/Suspect Statements
Evidence
Forensic Reports
Determination of Facts
Conclusions
