The Killing of Mr. Evan Meares It was the midst of day, June 30, 20--; an ill-pleasuring mess had been proposed to the police of Detroit. The corpse of an old, clumsy, joke of a gentlemen, found covered in newspaper dumped into a dumpster. The corpse was dismantled, mangled, and at the same time of many other killings. The detective, Ms. Liu, immediately concluded the cause of death and the murder weapon. Mr. Meares, few liked this man, as he was a perfect example of a peasant; no wonder one would have killed him… but who? The remains of the “man” was taken to be analyzed: scanned for fingerprints, and have an autopsy conducted. As for the scene, blood scattered all over, and bloody newspaper scattered around. Who committed the crime? …show more content…
Police arrived at his house an hour later. “What are you doing?! Why are you arresting me?!” Talreja shouted as he was taken into custody. He was taken to an interrogation room of the Detroit Police. There he was vigorously questioned. Once questioned about the murder, he claimed that he was not involved in the murder. At first, the interrogator didn’t believe him, as one set of fingerprints on the body were identical to his. But Alex insisted he had nothing to do with the killing, so he was asked to complete a polygraph test to prove his innocence. Just as he had said, he was the truth about not being involved, but when questioned about knowing anything about the murder, he was hesitant to answer. After a few seconds of silence, he firmly answered no. He was lying. He was furthermore questioned about knowing anything of the murder; motives, suspects, and accomplices. An hour passed of rigorous questioning, and yet, he still didn’t admit anything. “We know he’s hiding something,” Said Detective Liu, “but what?” Another hour passed of questioning, but this time, he cracked. He admitted to knowing a possible suspect: his identical twin brother, Lucas Talreja. Lucas was soon found and brought to the same interrogation room. Just like his brother, he was questioned, but admitted he committed the murder. Unlike his brother, he was kept in captivity until further investigation resumed. While in captivity, Talreja was able to
In the video “The Confessions” presented by Frontline, a murder of a women that was committed by one man, quickly resulted into a false gang murder-rape scene committed by eight men. The victim, Michelle Bosko, was seen to be raped and killed in her apartment in Norfolk, Virginia. From the video, it has been proven that seven out of the eight men that confessed were innocent, but somehow they all received an unequal punishment. Because the innocent men admitted to a murder that they didn’t commit out of fear, they were all sentenced to some time in prison. The head detective, Glenn Ford, intimidated the men so much that they either were convinced that they were at the crime scene or they told him every detail that he wanted to hear.
As the video evidently shows, the overall case was fabricated with the use of psychological tactics that broke some fundamental aspects of ethics. Getting one to confess to a crime is never easy, hence borne the numerous methods introduced and followed by almost all law enforcement officers to “read” possible suspects during interrogations. Further, with the right assembly of personal/background information, the combination of circumstances/techniques, and psychological manipulation can even make the most hardened suspect to confess (“How Police Interrogation works”). To add on, there was a time when “physical abuse” toward the possible suspects during interrogations and the confession obtained thereafter was accepted in court (“How Police Interrogation works”); Not only is this a misuse of authoritative power, but also unethical—inflicting mental /or physical pain upon the individual to confess almost seems extreme.
Edward Kelly was discovered beheaded in the kitchen of his Broadwater home by police at 4.30pm, on Thursday, June 22. Kelly's sister Margaret Simmons said her sibling and Jonathan Stenberg had a question about a few trees being chopped down. Stenberg drove experts on a six-day manhunt crosswise over NSW, into Queensland and the Northern Territory. Amid this time the previous armed force designer and manufacturer even tried out for a part as a cop in a film featuring Hugo Weaving, Jack Thompson and True Blood star Ryan Kwanten titled Mystery Road. Police in the end made up for lost time with Stenberg at a town called Berry springs, 50km from Darwin after more than 100 police sought through towns and bushland outside of Darwin for quite a long
This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.
A little after a year of the McVicker incident, William found himself in an Orange County jail. But due to the officers getting his record’s mixed up; William was cleared to walk and given a court date.

The authors underscore that it could not be said that the Hollywood department was incompetent. Rather that the case was too difficult, and Detective Hoffman turned out to be too snobbish not only to ask for help but also to accept help from Joe Matthews when he offered it not once. Hoffman was “too unstructured and ill-equipped” for such mind-bogging case (Standiford, 2001).Det. Serg. Matthews was a lie detector expert and an experiences homicide detective and, being hired by the Hollywood, Fl, Police Department, he was very interested by the case and was ready to use his knowledge to solve the case. Among other things, the difference in approaches of two detectives was that Hoffman was obsessed with finding physical evidences linking Toole to the Adam’s murder; while Matthews believed that circumstantial evidence could make do in some cases.
On the night of June 12, 1994 one of history's greatest murder mysteries that has yet to be solved still remains in question. The O.J. Simpson Trial was one of the biggest trial that lasted 8 months in time and yet the case still remains open as for whodunit is yet to be solved. It involves the death of Nicole Brown SImpson (O.J. Simpson's ex-wife) and Ron Goldman. Even though many supporting evidence pointed toward O.J. Simpson on October 3 around 10 a.m. he was declared “Not Guilty.” In the case of the O.J. Simpson trial, all odds turn to him being the verdict for the truth behind the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, as theories such as the glove, his chicago flight, and threats to Nicole help provide evidence to prove O.J. truly did it.

After all the searching and how nice Andy was with us, the a body lay motionless under the floorboards. William and I instantly grabbed the body. The man was dead. We grabbed Mr. Johnson and put him in cuffs. We called the murder into the station and backup arrived in minutes. We put Mr. Johnson in a cop car and drove back to the station so he could be questioned for his actions. When we got Andy back to the station the results of the identity of the dead man was in. The man was Johnny Crook. He was 68 years old and Mr. Johnson was listed as his caretaker. When I went to question the killer I started out with “why kill an innocent man.” The man answered with “it was his eye!” I thought the old man was going crazy. Andy said that “his eye was alive, his eye was like an eye of a vulture.” I didn't know what to say because his story was hard for me to believe. We scheduled, the court date for the 2nd of
During the interviews of the family and friends of the suspects, testimony, from Crystal Jones, gave investigators confirmation that the murder weapon was Johnson’s. Michael Stewart gave information to where and when Ashley was with the suspect. Mr. Stewart also informed the investigators that, after Ashley would not preform sexual acts for both suspects, they were angry and assaulted her by slapping her in the face. Later Stewart was told by Jones that Ashley’s body was behind Pizza Hut and would be found in the morning; and that both had stabbed her while Ashley begged for them to just let her die. During the interviews and interrogation, the investigators did not ask a lot of questions; they asked open ended questions and allowed the interviewees
He told him he will upload all the notes from Michael to his computer than put it on disk and bring it back on Sunday. With that same disk he decided to test the police and send the disk to them. When they received the disk, one of the detectives worked his way in to files to try and identify any good information. He found that the creator was someone named Dennis, and the computer belonged to the Christ Lutheran Church (251-252). The cops then learned about him and the more they learned the more they liked. Detectives then monitored his activities on a regular basis. To ensure that this was the killer they received DNA sample from his kid, Kerri that they would match with the DNA in the semen. The test came back positive and on February 25, 2005 he was arrested. He went without much effort and wasn’t breathing heavy or perspiration (259-262). After 31 years of hiding, the police never felt a feeling better than
Not likely he has any knowledge of the case, but I need to cross him off as a witness." Tom averted his gaze, and grabbed his jacket and utility belt as he stood. "We don't know if it's a serial-killer yet, so let's just keep it between us for now, and if it turns out to be what we think it is, then I'll report it. Better then running off half-cocked now to the Feds, and making a fool of myself." His first lie. Tom knew with certainty, deep down in his gut that it could be nothing but the one perpetrator, and that he had enough to at least arouse the FBI's curiousity. I'll make sure I keep you updated on the case, every step of the way. Okay baby?"
