(The F.B.I. Files, The Forensic Files)
Dumb mistakes more often than not are what lead to criminals being caught.
Blood is almost impossible to successfully clean up completely. Modern forensics can find DNA from the smallest drop.
Professional killers prefer 22s because the bullets fracture making identifying the murder weapon difficult, however silencers can leave their own unique marks so a murder weapon can by identified through its silencer. You can make your own silencer using plastic tubbing and tennis balls (but they leave tennis ball shreds behind for police to find).
People who can fool a polygraph are rare, vast majority of criminals who agree to be polygraphed because they think they can fool the polygraph are wrong, they're caught in their lies.
The first suspect in a child kidnapping is always the non-custodial parent. unless overwhelming evidence says otherwise.
1/3 of kidnapped children are found alive, 1/3 are found dead, 1/3 are never found.
Most kidnappings are not about ransom.
In the case of kidnapping by strangers resulting in death of the child, 75% of the time the child was murdered during the first 3 hours.
CIA employees apparently do not carry fire arms so they could not defend themselves when attacked by a Moslem terrorist outside their headquarters in Virginia. Every fictional CIA agent I've ever seen was armed.
Unlike uniformed police officers FBI agents apparently only carry handguns, no shotguns or rifles in their unmarked cars. At least in the 1980s and 90s. Leaving them out gunned by better armed criminals.
The FBI only gets involved in bank robberies if the money was federally insured. The FBI gets involved in kidnappings under the assumption the kidnapper may cross state lines.
The first person convicted of murder in my home state of Nebraska without a body was convicted on the basis of the amount of blood found in his apartment and his vehicle, so much blood his girlfriend could not have survived its loss.. Nine years after being sentenced he still refuses to tell what he did with his girlfriend's body and wont even admit his guilt. So he's never getting parole since he doesn't show remorse. I think he should have been charged with two murders, since his victim was pregnant.
