  • Cold Case Biological Evidence
    Evidence Submission Guideline # COLD CASE BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE The submission of evidence from “cold cases” can be more complex than the submission of evidence from ordinary cases. This is due to a variety of reasons including evidence handling and storage, development of new analytical technologies and previous analyses performed. These guidelines have been developed to allow the investigating officer(s) to determine the appropriate evidence to submit to the IMCFSA crime lab. I. Background investigation A. All case files must be reviewed by the investigator to determine the probative nature of the evidence. The original investigator’s file is usually of particular use in determining suitable evidence for analysis. The results of previous analyses carried out by the IMCFSA crime lab can typically be found in the FNmount electronic file folder available from the crime lab. B. If there is evidence of a suspected sexual assault the investigator must make an attempt to obtain sexual history information regarding the victim prior to the assault. The evidence may not be examined if this is not carried out. C. After determining the evidence requiring analysis the investigator is responsible for making sure the evidence is still available. The investigator should then list the item number and the IMPD property room ACE number on the analysis request card. D. The investigator should list all the evidence to be analyzed on the initial request and indicate the order of probative value (from best to worst). The lab will enforce its tier policy (see Biological Evidence submission guidelines) as appropriate. The Biology Unit can be contacted to aid with this process.

  • Cold Case Models for Evaluating Unresolved Homicides
    Volume 5, Number 2, July 2013 Cold Case Models for Evaluating Unresolved Homicides James M. Adcock, PhDA and Sarah L. Stein, PhDB Abstract During the period 1980-2008 the United States has accumulated nearly 185,000 unresolved murders.1 Based on the number of homicides and clearance rates for murders 2009-2012 this figure is either closer to, or well over 200,000. As of 2004 the United States also had approximately 14,0002 unidentified sets of human remains, many of which could be homicides, further increasing our total number of unresolved cases. The efforts to resolve some of these cases by law enforcement and others have been unrelenting. And while historically we can easily identify the early 1980s with Dade County Sherriff’s Office as the beginnings of the “cold case concept” 3 , a standard protocol for evaluating cold cases has not yet been identified and implemented, as noted by the Rand Corporation study for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ).4 The intent of this article is to provide the readers with two cold case models that can assist in streamlining the evaluation process and possibly significantly contribute to the resolution of cold cases. Keywords: Cold Cases, Evaluation Models, Unresolved Homicides Cold Case Unit Configuration While many evaluation models exist and their successes have been varied in nature, the “best practices” rule, based on the review of cases as well as investigator feedback, is applicable. That is simply this: a cold case unit should minimally consist of two or more seasoned detectives. This unit needs to be exempt from all other responsibilities and allowed to fully concentrate on the unresolved cases.
