Filipino housemaid found headless and handless in Dubai Country/State: Dubai - United Arab Emirates Year of Crime and Hit: 2016 and 2016 Executive Summary: A woman was found with her head and hands cut off. After 3 months of investigation Dubai poLice determined her identity by comparing her DNA to the personaL beLongings of a missing housemaid, a FiLipino woman named Manormeeta SaLwaro Dadi.

Investigative Importance: Dubai police had to sift through 9,751 missing women (runaway maids) cases to find leads for this particular case. Other: Murderer was a butcher who used his knowLedge and expertise as a butcher to cut off the head and hands of the victim. The murderer cLaimed that he was infLuenced by “zombie movies” to murder the victim in a such a way.

  • Hartford Circus Fire
    Hartford circus fire Hartford circus fire Tent on fire Date July 6, 1944 Location Hartford, Connecticut The Hartford circus fire, which occurred on July 6, 1944, in Hartford, Connecticut, was one of the worst fire disasters in the history of the United States.The fire occurred during an afternoon performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus that was attended by 6,000 to 8,000 people. The fire killed 167 people and more than 700 were injured. Background In mid-20th century America, a typical circus traveled from town to town by train, performing under a huge canvas tent commonly called a "big top". The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was no exception: what made it stand out was that it was the largest circus in the country. Its big top could seat 9,000 spectators around its three rings; the tent's canvas had been coated with 1,800 pounds (820 kg) of paraffin wax dissolved in 6,000 US gallons (23,000 l) of gasoline, a common waterproofing method of the time.[ The circus had been experiencing shortages of personnel and equipment as a result of the United States' involvement in World War II. Delays and malfunctions in the ordinarily smooth order of the circus had become commonplace; on August 4, 1942, a fire had broken out in the menagerie, killing a number of animals. When the circus arrived in Hartford, Connecticut, on July 5, 1944, the trains were so late that one of the two shows scheduled for that day had been canceled. In circus superstition, missing a show is considered extremely bad luck, and although the July 5, 1944 evening show ran as planned, many circus employees may have been on their guard, half-expecting an emergency or catastrophe.

    Chapter 4 A Glimpse into Genetic Genealogy – Identifying Unknown Persons and Generating Suspect Leads in Violent Crimes Vanessa Virdiramo, Muhammed Talal Shaikh, Emma Wolfram Traditional genealogy has been studied for centuries, where documentary records (e.g. historical and medical) and oral histories have been used to trace families back through history (Plemel, 2019). Due to advancements in direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing and related technologies, however, the field of genetic genealogy has grown exponentially in recent years and individuals are now able to find relatives through shared DNA using at-home kits (Kennett, 2019). Genetic genealogy is based on the philosophy of genetics, which encompasses the study of heredity and genes, and is the process by which heritable traits are passed down unchanged from generation to generation (Alberts et al., 2015). The more closely related individuals are, the more DNA is shared between them. As such, it is now possible to learn more about long-lost relatives and ancestors and assess the risk of genetic illness, among other things, using genetic genealogy methods. Given these capabilities, these techniques have recently gained popularity among law enforcement agencies for identifying unknown individuals and generating suspects leads in criminal investigations using DNA. In 2019, direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic genealogy databases were used to identify suspects and missing persons in over 50 cold cases, many of which were unsolved for decades (Kennett, 2019). Genetic genealogy and DNA databases have received an enormous amount of public attention throughout the years, however, this has sparked a controversial debate regarding the use of these methods for law enforcement purposes.
