I went to CSI exhibition in Singapore National Science Centre. The exhibition is origin from USA with a cooperation of CSI LAs Vegas TV darma series, that’s why u can see there is a lot of drama character inside the exhibition. No photography is allowed strictly, that’s why I can’t take picture. I’m sorry.
Frankly speaking, there is nothing much I can learn from the exhibition.. a lot of thing we already learned in our courses, like entomo, toxico, bukti fizikokimia, crime scene processing, DNA fingerprint and so on. The crime scene they provide are very very “real” except the body is not a real body.. But the crime scene they provided is really really dark, in a glimmy yellow light, that’s why I lost of many important evidence at 1st sight.. lol.
In the exhibition, 3 cases was provided. Visitors were provided 3 handouts about the cases and some easy objective questions on it. The exhibition is more to evidence analysis rather than crime scene processing. Evidenve was analysis by all ways, and we only compare with the sample from suspect/victim to get the answer. Pictures and videos were provided, so is basically watching video, gather information, listening autopsy report and u will know who is the criminal.
1st case : A House Collided. The crime scene is a living room with a car crushed in. There was beer bottle, half eaten pizza hut, pillow on sofa, blood dropping (round shape due to gravity), blood drag marks, muddy shoe print on the carpet and a body found inside the car with head injury, and a blood stain on the windshield of the car. Evidence analysis shows that
i)A blood palm print on car and beer bottle belongs to unknown suspect. But victims DNA was found on both half eaten pizza and also beer bottle saliva DNA.
ii)Muddy shoe print comes from a kind of shoe brand that did not belong to victims.
iii)Trace evidence test show that the red fiber found on victim’s head comes from the pillow on the sofa.
iv)Blood spatter. Round shape of blood drop show the body had been moved by someone who left a blood palm print on the car.
v)Amazing thing comes. The toxicology report showed the alcohol concentration inside victim is 0.00% BAC.
vi)Autopsy showed the last meal of victim is pizza. But there is no ribcage fracture and organ injury that will normally occur in car accident. The COD is blunt force trauma to the head but this is not caused by the forward hit force of head to the windshield of the car.
vii)DNA found on pizza and beer bottle then analysis again, identical to victim, but also a match in CODIS and come to victim’s identical twin brother. He probably is the unknown suspect for this case.
Conclusion : I didn’t watch the final result of investigation, due to too many people and crowded. But I guess the identical brother crushed his car into living hall and kill the victim. Then moved the dead body into the car pretending it was a car accident.
2nd case : Who Got Served? The crime scene is a girl body found in a small street beside tong sampah. There is a photo was teared apart, the handphone and wallet was found next to the body. A packet of white powder in her handbag. There is tyre impression on victim’s body and fly (kononnya, sebenarnya model lalat saje) on her hand. Victim was wearing proper uniform, no sign or rape or injury, with a name tag is Penny.
i) From her handphone, her last sms is to a friend named Diana girl, on May 4, 10:22pm. From her previous sms, she is going to have a party with the Diana girl on the night she went missing.
ii) The picture was teared apart, the fingerprint found on the photo belongs to Diana Reiley.
iii) The tyre impression comes from a stolen car in crime lab garage.
iv) Toxicology report show the white powder is actually fentanyl, streetdrugs.
v) The entomology show the 3rd instar of larvae on the body, the PMI is 3 days death, probably May 4 or early May 5.
vi) Post mortem show she has lung, ribcage, organ puncture but no blood haemorrhage, which means she was already dead before she was ran over by the stolen car. The is no special abnormality or wound found on body. COD not yet determine, pending for toxicology report of the victim’s blood.
vii) The name tag on the body is Penny, but victim’s DNA show she is a missing person database. She is actually missing daughter of a couple named Lucy Cannelle.
Conclusion : I didn’t watch the final result of investigation, due to too many people and crowded. But I guess the primary suspect is Diana Reiley and her COD may be drug fentanyl overdose. She may be run away from home and meet bad friends. Drug addiction may be. The runover by the missing car may be belongs to the Diana Reiley.
3rd case : No Bones About It. A body skeleton was found in a desert, a bullet hole of the skull and a ring on the left hand finger. A hair sample and a few plants seeds are on the body.
i) The bullet recovered belongs to .45 calliber.
ii) The bullet and barrel scratch marks on the bullet has match with Rutherford 555-4134 registered under Mark Walton.
iii) Botany showed the seeds came from the plants around the desert. Except 2 special plants named Pot Marigold and Oregano.
iv) Anthropology and dental analysis show that the victim is Mark Wilton, who was the owner of the gun. Reported missing since 6 years ago.
v) The hair sample found on the body is a dog hair and has a match with a Weimaraner (named Max) belongs to the victims ex wife Sylvia Walton.
vi) Sylvia Walton said she didn’t meet her husband for a very long time since divorce.
vii) The autopsy show the COD is gunshot to the head and the manner of dead is homicide.
Conclusion : I didn’t watch the final result of investigation, due to too many people and crowded. But I guess the murderer may be his ex-wife and further investigation will show the presence of pot marigold and oregano plants around her place and also the missing murder gun in her house.
A very good things about this exhibition is that all evidence analysis was demonstrated ad explained briefly. Microscope was there to show the scratch mark of bullet, seeds plant identification, dog hair, red fiber and so on. They showed how to measure bullet caliber, how to analyze tyre print and shoe print, blood spatter, how to interpret the DNA fingerprinting (like Dr.KO teach in class recently) and so on.
After all, it’s really a very nice exhibition and really worth a trip for all of us (^-^) Try to visit there before it end on 20th Feb, normal price is $21 for the exhibition and national science centre(damn fun also, wakaka, got fire tornado show, whoa!!! Go see my picture), Digi user got discount ($16.80). But u really need to allocate around 2-3 hours so that u can processed all 3 crime scenes and finish all the evidence analysis. U can key in ur information in the computer provided to listen to the final investigation result from LVPD. I didn’t do that, too crowded and there is a school trip at the time also.
After u key in the information, u will get a “Forensic Science and CSI Diploma certificate” Singapore dollar $10. I got one for crime scene one (free through e-mail), the rest two I didn’t key in becoz there is a long long Q and a lot of very very not patient school kids behind me. Come and ask me questions about the exhibition and I’ll try to answer u as I remember.
P/s: sorry for grammar and spelling error.. I’m a bit busy helping my mum for the CNY celebration. Have a nice holiday friends.
