MURDER
As Private Investigators we
investigate a murder by looking at several key factors. First we look for "MOTIVE", we look for people who would benefit by the death of the victim, we look
for reasons why someone would committed the crime. We look for people or reasons that may
not be so obvious. After we have compiled a list of suspects with a motive we look to see
if the suspects had the
"MEANS" to commit the crime,
for example did the suspect have the strength to do the deed, did they have access to the
crime scene, did they have access to the murder weapon and so on. Finally we look to see
if the suspects had the
"OPPORTUNITY" to commit the
crime, i.e., did the suspect have the time to commit the crime, does the suspect's alibi
stand up to scrutiny, where was the suspect during the crime, etc. we will trace the
victims steps as well as the suspect's. If we develop MOTIVE, MEANS and OPPORTUNITY then we have viable suspects. Now we get to the bones of the
investigation. First we will check past histories, criminal and mental, method of
operations, character, etc., we also look to see if the forensic evidence fits the
suspects, some of the evidence may eliminate some suspects or strengthen others. When the
Investigators have narrowed the suspect list they move to the next step... "PROOF", now we have to prove the suspect or suspects committed the crime. We
look intensely at all available forensic evidence i.e., fibers, hair, fluids, etc. as well
as documentary evidence i.e., paper trails, receipts, letters, bank statements, etc. We
study the crime scene, we look for even the smallest piece of evidence for it may be the
key to the crime. We follow all the circumstantial evidence. We will do all this and we
will redo it if necessary until we have one suspect with the proof we need to convict. TOP

ROBBERY
ROBBERY is sometimes a
Private Investigators most difficult case because so many of these robberies are random,
(the perpetrator does not know the victim) the victim is picked by chance. There may be no
motive except for the acquisition of property or money. This eliminates the possibility of
making a suspect list from the people at hand, however there is an alternative way to
handle the case. Going through case files looking for similar "MO's" (METHOD of OPERATION). You see the way someone commits a crime often remains the same,
it becomes like a fingerprint of METHOD. By examining old case files or incident reports
from the area you may begin to see a pattern emerge. Sometimes the perpetrator has been
caught and identified before and has now started committing robberies again and many times
will go about it the same way they did before, hence the "fingerprint" or "MO". This is an effective way of starting a suspect list from known
offenders. There is also the possibility that the perpetrator has not been caught before
but works the same area again and again. A profile can be put together by examining the
incident reports from that area. A pattern is looked for by which you may be able to
second guess the perp and be there when he commits his next crime. Sometimes the things
the perp steals will tell the story i.e., does he have to sell the items to see his reward
and where would he sell them. Robbery often becomes a puzzle that you have to piece
together to catch the perp. Finding the pieces of the puzzle is a by the book
investigation, if you know where to look you are half way there. Once you find the guilty
party you must then connect the suspect to the items stolen to prove your case. If it is
money that was stolen you will want to catch the suspect stealing again or if your lucky
you may be able to connect the suspect to the money through various means i.e., serial
numbers, exact amounts and times, some thieves like to brag and people hear. There are
other ways of connecting the suspect to the crime, each case being different.TOP
