A Narrative Essay About A Crime Story

Improved Essays
It was a cold, foggy night here in Painswick where I was visiting mother. I was walking past the church looking at the yew tree’s when I heard a loud shriek. Running towards the scream there I saw a dead woman covered in blood and another lady screaming at the top of her lungs with a horrific look on her face like she had just seen a murder. I told myself that I was done with the detective business, but what I had vowed had come to an end.
Within in the next minutes of getting to the crime scene I hear sirens roaring from all around. “Get on the ground, get on the ground,” says a cop “put your hands in the air and don’t move.” The lad and I get on the ground while cops were walking towards us with guns in their hands. After being roughly handcuffed I was placed into the back of a cop car and took downtown. The cop who arrested me smelled of sweat and trash. He looked like he hadn’t slept for days and had scratches all over his hands and arms. I asked him what had happened, but he

She got into the dumpster and started looking around. “Looks like you’re right,” she said as she was holding up a crowbar with blood on it. We went back to the station and had the forensic unit test the crowbar for fingerprints and to make sure that was the dead girl’s blood. A match came back and hour later. It was the deceased blood on the crowbar and there were fingerprints on it. The fingerprints belonged to Andrew Fitz, an officer of the Painswick Police Department. Kate and I grabbed Mr. Fitz and took him into questioning. Instead of Kate talking I did. I asked him to pull his sleeves up, he kept questioning why and tried not to but Kate told him to do it and he had no choice but to do it. When he pulled up his sleeves we saw the scratches. I asked him how he got the scratches he replied that he was trying to get his daughter 's cat out of a tree and the cat scratched

    Nearly one month later, on July 10, 1977, Craig’s body was found floating in a nearby strip-mine pond that had already been intensely searched in the first few days and weeks following his disappearance (Flynn, Grace). An autopsy report determined that there was no definite cause of death, but then again authorities had poured fuel on the body at the time of discovery to “kill maggots” supposedly. This move disabled all ability to make determination of cause of death from tissue samples. The sheriff at the time, along with the grand jury, recommended that the case remain open (Flynn, Grace). After several years, Craig Lloyd Graham’s cause of death is still listed as unknown with no new facts or evidence to help find out who committed this terrible crime (“Craig Lloyd Graham”).…

    Serial Killers Essay

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

Since submission of such data is voluntary, how can the Uniform Crime Reports be accurate?…

    Homicide is the killing of a human being by another human being. In old common law, the only type of homicide recognized was murder.

Where criminal homicide is concerned, it can further be broken down into murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. Each subset of criminal homicide has several elements and characteristics that distinguish one from another.…
