Crime Scene Analysis
This is an excerpt from the paper...
On October 20, 2004, at 4:49 a.m., a resident of the city of Escondido in southern California called 911. She reported that a car was on fire in the field behind her apartment building. The police and fire department responded to the call. After the firefighters doused the fire, the police found a body in the driver's seat of the car.The apparent crime scene offered several clues even though the body in the car was burned too badly for the police to immediately determine a cause of death. The car was a 2005 Mercedes E500, which the officers knew cost around $60,000. The vehicle has an automatic transmission and was found in "neutral" gear. The car's tires seemed to have pushed down but not broken or uprooted much of the grass in their tracks.

Conroy knew that Carew had left the building just after ten o'clock the night of his murder to go to the dance club.
Inside Carew's apartment the crime scene unit find a .357 magnum bullet lodged in the headboard of his bed. They also find blood on the headboard and sheets and long strands of brown hair in the bed. Carew had short bleached-blonde hair. CSU believes this is the first crime scene, where the murder was actually committed. They also find numerous fingerprints in the bedroom. AFIS identifies one set of fingerprints as belonging to Gregory Tannenbaum, a felon currently on parole from a burglary and assault charge.
The County Coroner's office employed the following analyses techniques to confirm the identity and cause of death of the body. The body was burned too badly for a facial recognition, but the Coroner easily identified two gun-shot wounds to the head. One bullet was still lodged inside the brain; the other gun-shot was a thro
