The focus of this virtual investigation is DNA. This virtual crime scene contains materials and objects that can be processed to find and compare DNA evidence. Other items may be meaningful without any forensic processing. These items can be identified as potential evidence but are not the primary focus of this virtual reality experience.
This experience will be an exercise in observing, evaluating, interpreting, and reporting. For purposes of this assignment, you are a lone Virtual Investigator who is working on the case.
IMPORTANT: In this lab, the investigation has just begun. You cannot access a medical examiner to determine the cause of death. As an investigator, you have no access to the results of forensic testing. You don’t even need to know the procedure for DNA comparison or what the results should look like. During evidence collection in a real investigation, you will not have any DNA results. Rather you must focus on the evidence at hand and the logic of the investigation. You will identify possible evidence to test for DNA. If that item was tested for DNA, what if we discover a DNA match to the victim? What if we discover a DNA match to a suspect? What would the result mean? What if we discover no DNA match? What would that mean? What if we find no DNA?
The Virtual Investigator will do the following:
1) Observe: carefully observe the death scene to gain information and identify items of potential evidence.
2) Evaluate: make judgments about the nature and/or value of potential evidence
3) Interpret: explain the meaning of an item (or set of items) of potential evidence.
4) Report: give a written account of the possible evidence, how it would be processed, what the results could be, and what those results would mean.
