Forensic anthropologist study bones, also known as osteology, and research information of the victim like the age at death, time of death, sex, race, and physical condition. They find out why or how the victim died and locate suspects if it’s a murder case. They use a lot of evidence to find out what happened and they take the case to court if it is a murder case. They work with the government and F.B.I to find the bodies and every single piece of evidence they can locate. Most anthropologist work in an office but some analyze evidence in a laboratory to investigate. Or some of them work in the field where they move the body to the lab and search for more evidence from where the body was found.…
Dr. Edmond Locard’s Exchange Principle states, “Any action of an individual, and obviously the violent action constituting a crime, cannot occur without leaving a trace.” It is hard to say Locard’s Exchange Principle was not disregarded. After three months of expert investigation it was found that the DNA evidence that was discovered at the scene did not belong to Jennifer or Noura. Also Noura’s own DNA was not found at all at the scene of the crime. It is very hard to understand how Noura could have made extreme violent contact with her mother and not left any fingerprints, footprints, hair, skin cells, blood, bodily fluids, pieces of clothing or fibers behind. This lack of traces evidence sets off two different paths in my mind. One way leads you down a road of pure hatred for a parent. Everyone was felt this way one time or another in their life, where a disagreement or argument over something that is usually aimed at protecting the youth, leads to a massive outburst or feeling of rage, that is always immediately followed by guilt or remorse by a normal human being. But what happens when this rage affects a “not so normal” child. One with malice aforethought, that is just so tired of being controlled that they premeditate a murder and thoroughly clean any trace of evidence. The other path is the road Noura’s defense took. She is irrefutably innocent and Jennifer’s killer/killers are still on the loose.…
