Laboratory Case #Z12-000071
OFFENSE: Murder
SUSPECT: John Randall
VICTIM: Adam Johnson
Background
On 10/02/2013 the Champaign County Coroner’s Office was called regarding a dead body located in a home on the corner of Bluff Street and Clark Avenue. The body was found by the neighbor of the deceased male, when the neighbor went to visit him and got no response. The body was severely decomposed so the neighbor had a hard time determining if the body was that of his neighbor. I was called and assigned to the case and immediately checked to see if there were any survivors or suspects in the area. There were no survivors but a possible suspect was detained. Next, I roped off the crime scene to keep the area from being contaminated. The first thing I noticed while collecting the evidence was that a large knife was missing from the knife block in the kitchen. The team also noticed that there was a reddish substance on the blunt end of a hammer found in the garage. While taking photographs of the crime scene, I noticed there was a series of bloody fingerprints on the body of the deceased. After taking numerous pictures of the fingerprints and making copies using porous material techniques, mid-range, overall and close-up photographs were taken using scales and evidence markers. Blood spatter and a bloody shoe print were also collected from the crime scene. However, the same night 10/02/2013 at 10:45 pm, there was fire on the premises and destroyed all the evidence.
