Dubbed the Valley Intruder or Night Stalker, Ricardo Leyva Munoz Ramirez famously known as Richard Ramirez, struck fear through the bones of many during his serial killing spree in the mid-eighties. Ramirez killed at least fourteen people in his spree while raping and torturing many more. His criminal beginnings turned to violence in June of 1984 with his first known slaying of 79-year-old Jennie Vincow. Vincow was sexually assaulted, stabbed and ultimately killed in her home. Authorities had not yet caught Ramirez after this brutal homicide, therefore he was free to continue his spree on countless more helpless victims. Ramirez used a wide variety of weapons like guns, knives, rope, handcuffs, a tire iron, machete and a hammer on his victims. …show more content…
The Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case was one of the first major cases to use automated fingerprinting technology (Frese, 2011). Today, the fingerprinting database gives various probable identifications, then a trained fingerprint expert must compare the prints to find a likely identification. Considering that Ramirez's prints were found on the mirror of a stolen vehicle we can conclude that his fingerprints were two-dimensional, therefore the prints are termed as latent or residue prints. The authorities at the crime scene power-dusted his prints considering that is the best physical method for collecting fingerprints. Once analyzed using the ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation and verification) method, the fingerprint expert was able to identify them as belonging to Ramirez. The ACE-V method is cited as being a scientific method in the comparison and identification of fingerprints. Meaning, that this method is the protocol all forensic scientists follow to conclude to accurate and consistent results making this procedure extremely important for this significant piece of evidence that identified …show more content…
Among them were things like distinguishing slash wounds in five murders across the victim's necks, similar handcuff marks on various victims' wrists and blunt force head trauma to half of the victims (Chen, 1989.) Shoe prints were also left at the scene of two murders, the shoe prints had to be either a visible print, plastic print or latent print. Examiners use several methods in the collection of shoe prints depending on the type of impression that is left at the scene of the crime. For collections in soil, which was where the print was found in the Ramirez case, casting is the most commonly used collection method for analyzation. The evaluation and comparison of impression evidence is usually performed by a trained footwear and tire mark examiner (NFSTC, 2013). The shoe prints were later identified to be a match to one another and ultimately belonged to Ramirez. All of these details didn't emerge or emanate together until after Ramirez was caught. After Ramirez's arrest, authorities say his fingerprints were matched with prints found at serval of the crime scenes. Finger print comparison and identification is done by a trained forensic scientist, additionally computerized systems are used to search fingerprint databases for potential print matches. Fingerprint analysis is conducted using the ACE-V method to make a determination on the print and is done in
The fingerprint found at the crime scene belonged to Alex Garcia, Anna’s former husband. His fingerprint was characterized as a plain arch and that was found at the crime scene. The blood sample at the crime scene belongs to Alex Garcia. The shoe print that was found at the crime scene belongs to is Anna Garcia. The hair sample at the crime scene belonged to Anna Garcia.
In the wake of testing six different substances with three different pointers, we presumed that the obscure substance was headache medicine such as, Aspirin. The hair found at the crime scene had a place with Anna; this was found via painstakingly looking at every person of interest's' hair under a magnifying instrument and contrasting them with the hair found at the crime scene. The fingerprint on the bottle of the drink was Alex Garcia's and this was figured out by recognizing every person of interest's' sort of fingerprint and the fingerprint found at the crime scene coordinated Alex's. The sloppy shoe print that was at the crime scene has a place with Anna's
Richard Ramirez was an American serial killer. His full name is Ricardo Leyva Munoz Ramirez. His father’s name is Julian Ramirez and his mother’s is Mercedes Ramirez. Julian and Mercedes were Mexican immigrants. “Richard was born in El Paso, Texas.”
In September of 1961, a woman from District of Columbia had an intruder break into her apartment. While the invader of the home was there, they had taken her wallet, and also raped the woman. During the investigation of the crime, the police had found some latent fingerprints in the apartment. The police then established and processed the prints. The prints were then connected back to 16 year old Morris A. Kent.
The perpetrator left a fingerprint on the doorknob of one of the victim’s bedroom doors and a herringbone pattern tennis shoe print in one of the victim’s front yard near the front door. The police questioned about thirty to forty men in the area and focused on one main suspect, Hayes. The police went to Hayes home and requested a fingerprint, and Hayes
Although, in our lab report, suspect ones DNA matched the crime scene when cut with enzyme one, this can be explained by how closely related the two suspects are. Therefore two enzymes were used to cut the DNA; the suspect has to match both. Moreover, the limitation to DNA fingerprinting is, if a person were to have an identical twin. This is because identical twins have the same DNA because they come from the same egg. If a suspect’s DNA matched that of the one being tested, and they had an identical twin, a farther investigation would need to be done.

Race has become such a dominating aspect in society. The “All Lives Matter” Movements have brought to spotlight of the injustices of minorities and the division of our nation due to race. Even though companies today are promoting diversity and the transracial ideal by endorsing biracial athletes like Derek Jeter, racial undertones can be felt through the media coverage and advertisements we see every day. Therefore, the transracial ideal embodied by Derek Jeter is not attainable because race has become a defining characteristic through media exploitation and racial framing of minorities, as shown by Barry Bonds and the portrayal of Michael Vick and Ben Roethlisberger cases. Derek Jeter is a biracial baseball player for the New York Yankees.
First one said, that it matched Roy Browns bite marks. Second one said it couldn’t be him because he was missing two upper teeth and it had a full set of teeth on Sabina. This suggests that it could be him but also couldn’t be him with the bite marks. In conclusion the evidence that was provided were DNA samples and the bite
My thoughts Forensic science is used everywhere. It can be used to arrest and convict someone of a crime. Before watching The Real CSI video, I thought using fingerprints and DNA will get you 100% accurate results. Throughout the video my thoughts about the subject began to change.
