A man is found dead in an upscale hotel room due to an apparent blunt force trauma. No weapon is visible at the scene. The sheets on the bed are tangled, and there is evidence that the man had been engaging in sexual intercourse. There are scratch marks on his back. His watch has been taken-but not his wallet. Two champagne glasses have been used recently, and rose petals are scattered on the floor. There is a tan mark on his left ring finger. What is the first action you take when you enter the scene? What evidence are you, as an investigator, careful to document and preserve? What information do you seek from your medical examiner? What do the sheets indicate? The glasses? The scratch marks? Who do you interview? A man is found dead in an upscale hotel room due to an apparent blunt force trauma. No weapon is visible at the scene.
