Death Needs Answers

Diorama

Is a 3-deminsational scene frozen in time. They are tools in understanding the cause and manner of death.

The investigator must determine the cause of death. Which is classified as an accident, suicide, homicide, natural causes, or undetermined.

Was the victim murdered by a gun, knife, poisoned, car, or strangled all of which determine the manner of death.

I designed both indoor and outdoor crime scene dioramas to view.

Several are based on my books as well as a variety of cold cases and high-profile ones around the country.

Following the physical evidence left behind by the killer is a part of solving a murder. Locating the person-of-interest and linking him or her to the crime is the goal of law enforcement.

Justice for the victim and co-victims.
