CSRU MANAGER BRIEFING

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You're a member of the Crime Scene Response Unit CSRU at Metro City Police Department. The unit manager just called the team together to brief on a callout and assigned you as lead on the scene, which means you will be responsible for documenting the appropriate procedures for protecting a crime scene, how to identify and document evidence, evidence handling, testing, and standards for admissibility of evidence, scientific testing and expert testimony at trial.

Officers in neighboring Nonsuch County have reported finding a 2016 white Chevrolet Impala apparently abandoned beside rural 77 about 10 miles north of Metro City Jurisdiction. Nonsuch County deputies reported there were smears of blood on the steering wheel, dashboard, and both front seats. They also reported they found a black duffel bag, blood smears, and stock certificates and one diamond earring inside the vehicle. The name on the stock certificates matches the name of the registered owner of the vehicle at an address in Metro City.

Your manager continues the briefing by telling you that when Metro City police officers responded to the registered owner's address of record, they found the house locked up and quiet. But looking in the window, they could see a victim laying apparently unconscious in the foyer but found no indications of forced entry to the residence.

Once inside the house, Metro City police officers found one male laying in the foyer deceased. They also found a female in the bedroom deceased. The house appears to have been ransacked, and an open safe was located. The vehicle will be towed into the evidence garage and handled separately.

The officers have secured the residence, but the medical examiner is waiting for your team to respond before entering. Pictures throughout the house and a canvas of the neighborhood by officers revealed that the couple had a 15-year-old daughter, whose location is currently unknown. When officers tried to call her, they located her cell phone in the residence. As the manager is wrapping up, the officers notice a television in the corner of the briefing room, which cuts to breaking news and shows a picture of a car surrounded by crime scene tape.

Breaking news right off the top. Police have found a vehicle that may be connected to a double homicide that occurred early in the morning at about 3:00 AM. The vehicle was beside Road 77. Let's go to our correspondent on the scene.

Here we go. This is going to get a lot of press coverage. As if a double homicide isn't bad enough, we don't know where the daughter is or what happened to her. Everyone is going to be watching. We have to get this right, and we have to make sure everything will hold up in court.
