Crate and Burial

In this episode, a women is missing and her husband asks CSI to find her. Eventually they find her, and the person who had hid her was found. There was a catch however; after a series of tests and voice recognition tests, CSI determined that the women was actually involved in the kidnappings, and her abductee was actually in a relationship with her. I found this interesting because of the way that they used voice recognition tests to find out that the lady was actually involved. Once again, they were able to deduct the truth from what seemed to be minimal evidence.

Forensic Anthropology

So...this week, we've started to watch an episode in which an old lady is suspected of killing her husband. Also in the episode, a group of women are suspected of killing an exotic dancer they had hired to dance for then during a bachlorette party. We haven't finished the episode so im not exactly sure of the outcome, however there were a couple of interesting things that i noticed. For example, there was a bone specialist who helped determine the type of weapon used and how the body was dismembered, simply by looking at some of the cut marks on the body of the old man. The specialist, who, seemed to have a fancy for inspector griffin, was able to determine the physical attributes of the murderer based on the way the blade had cut through the bone. I thought that was very interesting. How so much can be deducted from so little is very intriguing. Furthermore, in the case with the dancer, i noticed the level of attention and the keen attention to details necessary to be a CSI investigator. For example when one of the two inspectors found a very small diamond and was able to determine that it was not really a diamond. I thought that was also interesting. So, despite the fact that we were not able to complete the show, i nonetheless found it very interesting...what about you?
