Question 2

Criminalist Matt Hughes arrives arrives at the scene of an explosion. He first carries out a search of the periphery of the crime scene, questions several witnesses, and then locates the crater caused by the blast.

After finding the crater, he uses a sifter to separate the debris at the site for evidence. Any large pieces of detonators or foreign materials that did not fall through the mesh are collected and packaged in small paper bags. Large, jagged pieces found in the crater are wrapped in paper then placed in another paper bag. What mistakes, if any, did Matt make in collectingand storing this evidence?

Answer to Question 2

Matt should have located the crater first upon arrival. He should collect both debris and soil from the crater to be tested. All materials collected for examination by thelaboratory must be placed in airtight sealed containers and labeled with allpertinent information. Soil and other soft loose materials are best stored inmetal airtight containers such as clean paint cans.
The large, sharp-edged objects are best packaged in metal containers.
