Download or read book Luminol Theory written by Laura E. Joyce and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representations of forensic procedures saturate popular culture in both fiction and true crime. One of the most striking forensic tools used in these narratives is the chemical luminol, so named because it glows an eerie greenish-blue when it comes into contact with the tiniest drops of human blood.Luminol is a deeply ambivalent object: it is both a tool of the police, historically abused and misappropriated, and yet it offers hope to families of victims by allowing hidden crimes to surface. Forensic enquiry can exonerate those falsely accused of crimes, and yet the rise of forensic science is synonymous with the development of the deeply racist 'science' of eugenics.Luminol Theory investigates the possibility of using a tool of the state in subversive, or radical, ways. By introducing luminol as an agent of forensic inquiry, Luminol Theory approaches the exploratory stages that a crime scene investigation might take, exploring experimental literature as though these texts were 'crime scenes' in order to discover what this deeply strange object can tell us about crime, death, and history, to make visible violent crimes, and to offer a tangible encounter with death and finitude. At the luminol-drenched crime scene, flashes of illumination throw up words, sentences, and fragments that offer luminous, strange glimpses, bobbing up from below their polished surfaces. When luminol shines its light, it reveals, it is magical, it is prescient, and it has a nasty allure.TABLE OF CONTENTS // Preface: Christmas, Colorado, 1996 - Section I.

Download or read book JonBenet Murder Case written by J.D. Rockefeller and published by J.D. Rockefeller. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JonBenet Patricia Ramsey was a young promising beauty queen at an early age of six. Unfortunately, it was in this age when tragic incident shocked not only the beauty pageant scene but the entire world. The young beauty queen was brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado. The brutal crime happened in the basement of the young star's own home 26th of December 1996. Nineteen years has passed, yet, the crime is unresolved. Up until this moment, no one has been convicted of the crime. Experts say that this is due to the fact that when the incident happened, the Boulder Police Department were inexperienced in handling murder and homicide cases. In fact, a lot of people who were extremely interested in this particular case revealed that the authorities were not able to execute the standard operating procedures right after receiving the 911 emergency calls. Also, they did not accept help from more experienced agencies such as the Denver Police Department available nearby. This paper reviews and analyzes the procedural mistakes made by the Boulder Police Department in Boulder, Colorado throughout the course of the kidnapping and subsequent murder investigation. These mistakes are specified and interpreted as to how the department should have handled the investigation in order to protect and preserve the crime scene evidence that was eventually damaged due to carelessness. Next, the theory of the main suspects, John and Patsy Ramsey, as well as a possible intruder are discussed while addressing the physical and circumstantial evidence gathered during the case and how the mistakes of the police investigation might have hindered a conviction. So what really happened? This eBook aims at providing you the answers.
