Moving forward with standardization

ACOLLEAGUE RECENTLY ASKED for my assessment on the currentstate of the field of crime scene investigation and forensic science. Thefirst thing that came to mind was a recurring theme in press releases

and story ideas coming across my desk: The concept of refining forensic scienceat the crime scene.

Miniaturization of components is allowing manufacturers to create compact,field-deployable instruments that enable more screening of evidence at thecrime scene. An example of that can be found in a DNA-evidence triagingsystem that helps crime scene investigators determine whether a sample containshuman DNA, how much of it, and whether the donor is male or female.Handheld spectrometers are another example of devices that can help personnelidentify evidence to collect at the scene.

Along with the effort to improve the relevancy of evidence collected in thefield comes an initiative to ensure standardization and quality control throughcertification and accreditation of crime scene personnel and crime scene units.

Meanwhile, at the federal level, work continues on the creation of nationalforensic science standards. In September, the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST) issued a Notice of Inquiry in the Federal Register requesting“input on the structure of guidance groups that would promote scientific validityand reliability in forensic science.” The guidance groups are intended toreplace the ad hoc system of scientific working groups (SWGs) that varygreatly in funding, structure, size, and output.

“We envision the guidance group as being voluntary collaborative organi-zations of forensic science practitioners and researchers from a wide array ofdisciplines. Members would represent all levels of government, academia,non-profits, and industry,” said Susan Ballou, NIST program manager forforensic science in a NIST press release.

As we move into 2014, Evidence Technology Magazine will be keeping aclose eye on all of these developments. With new technologies and processesavailable in the field, how will crime scene management change? Where arethe new Guidance Groups and the National Commission on Forensic Scienceheaded? We will be here to answer those questions and to bring you the latestnews from the field.

See you in 2014.Kristi Mayo, editor

AS OF 2012, Nielsen reportedthat the average smartphoneuser had approximately 41 apps

installed on a single device. But performa Google search for “how many appsare installed on average” and you willfind users who say they keep anywherefrom 50 to more than 100 apps ontheir iPhones and Androids.

What apps are people installing,and what are they using them for?One example is finding movie timesand tickets, cheap gas, the latest stockquotes, the day’s weather forecast, andother day-to-day information. Otherexamples include mobile messaging,personal navigation, social media,and managing personal productivityand finance. Consider:

� Mobile messaging apps havebecome so popular that they are actu-ally undercutting wireless carriers’paid text-messaging services. In April,in fact, cNet reported that chat appshad surpassed carrier SMS servicesin popularity.

� Turn-by-turn navigation appsreduce the need for users to purchaseadditional GPS devices.

� Social media apps keep usersconnected to a wide network of friends,relatives, locations, and activities.

� Personal finance apps caninclude banking, mobile payments,and day trading.

In other words: Mobile app datacomprises aspects of a user’s entirelife. The data stored within mobileapps can provide needed evidence,and a context for evidence, in both

criminal and internal investigations.

Extracting mobile app dataIn general, three different methodsextract data from mobile devices.

Logical extractions are the mostbasic type of extraction. Here, themobile forensic tool uses differentcommunication protocols, such asAT/AT+ and/or OBEX commands, toconnect to the phone’s software viathe device manufacturer’s applicationprogramming interface (API).Normally, these commands are usedto synchronize the device’s contents.With a forensic logical extraction,however, the forensic tool uses theprotocols (typically provided by themanufacturer) to request contentfrom the device.

The return of content depends onwhat protocols the phone respondsto, and is therefore limited to whatthe device manufacturer supports.For example, the logical extractionmay return each SMS or image,parsed and decoded, one by one.However, it may not return all of theSMS or pictures. If the user wasusing a third-party text-messaging or

In general, three differentmethods extract datafrom mobile devices:Logical extractions,file system extractions,and physical extractions.

S M A R T P H O N E A P P S

camera app, the SMS and imagesmay be stored in a different folderthan the phone’s default location.

The situation is similar for locations.With a logical extraction, locationsare derived from the metadata withinextracted media files (images andvideos). However, because additionallocations may be found within GPSor social networking apps, locationsobtained from a logical extractionmay present only a limited view ofthe device user’s activities.

A good analogy for a logicalextraction is a fast-food restaurant. Youpull up to the drive-through windowand you have a menu of what you canselect. If you try and order somethingthat is not on the menu, the persontaking the order will not understand,and you will leave hungry.

Even so, the advantage to a logicalextraction is speed. Even from asmartphone, depending on the device’smake and model and the amount ofdata it stores, a logical extractionusually takes less than 20 minutes.

Device manufacturers do not providecommunications protocols to retrievedata from third-party apps or appscreated independently of manufacturers.However, the SQLite databases thatcompose iOS and Android file systemscan provide access to available anddeleted databases, including deletedentries from a database.

This means that there is significantevidentiary value in being able toview tables and content, and searchthe data. Here, a type of smartphonelogical extraction known as file systemextraction can be useful. Rather thantargeting specific files, the file systemextraction copies entire file directories—folders and files—including app data.

File system extractions can providea wealth of deleted data that is oftenenough to build a case. However, theydo not access unallocated space. To getdata in that space, a bit-for-bit copy—physical extraction—is necessary.Physical extraction accesses all dataon the device, regardless of where itis or was stored.

How is this possible? Just as acomputer does, a mobile device savesfiles by physically writing to thememory chip. A file table describes

where that file is actually located,and thus tracks where the file wassaved. The device accesses the filetable whenever you want to open thatfile, to find where to read the data.

As on a computer, deleting a filedoesn’t really delete the file’s data,but only the record of where the fileis located. After deleting this record,the device marks that location as free(unallocated), even though the dataremains. Unless it was overwritten witha new file, reconstructing it should bepossible. Even then, overwritten datafragments can often be carved.

To make the bit-for-bit copy, themobile forensics tool cannot simplyrequest data from the phone, as itwould with logical or file systemextractions. With a physical extraction,the mobile forensics process accessesthe binary data on the device chipsetby acting as its operating system. Inother words, rather than allow thedevice to boot normally, the mobileforensic tool loads the same type ofboot loader that the device’s ownoperating system uses to start.

A forensic boot loader—basically a“micro operating system”—accom-plishes several things. First, it protectsthe evidence because the phone is notbooting normally and therefore notaccessing its network; this way, noone can remote wipe it. Second, theboot loader avoids the user partition,thereby protecting that data from theexaminer inadvertently overwriting orotherwise modifying the data. Third,the boot loader enables the forensic

examiner to override any user locksthat are in place.

This, however, presents a newchallenge: decoding. Flash file systemsare designed to avoid delete cycles bykeeping deleted information in thedevice’s memory. Accessing thisinformation in its binary form meansit must be decoded, which meansreconstructing the file system—inter-preting it properly in order to parsethe information.

Decoding support is often just asimportant as extraction support in amobile forensics tool. Automateddecoding saves considerable time forforensic examiners, and yet it is one ofthe most challenging levels of supporta mobile forensic vendor can offer.That is because unlike the world of PCs,where only a handful of file systemsdominate, more than 140 file systemscurrently exist for mobile devices.Each file system may run any one ofa variety of operating systems andversions of each OS. Because thefirst step in physical decoding is toperform file system reconstruction,taking the binary and reconstructingthe files is a huge undertaking.

Once the Flash file system hasbeen reconstructed, locations,Bluetooth devices, device information,cookies, installed apps, web history,and other content can be decoded andparsed out of the device’s databases.The mobile forensics tool should thenmake the data available in both binaryand hexadecimal format, highlightingthe various pieces of user content andmetadata so you can see exactly wherethey were decoded from, includingthe database where it is located.

The reason is that app data containsnot only information that the userintentionally placed. It often alsocontains “metadata” about that infor-mation. A chat or instant-messagesession between two or more peoplehas important date and time stampdata attached to it, as do images orvideo taken from within an app.

Although modern mobile forensictools do a good job of supporting themajority of mobile devices on themarket, forensic examiners do stillencounter devices which no automatedtool can support, or which are only

S M A R T P H O N E A P P Spartially supported (i.e. only somedata is retrievable from the usualextraction methods).

An unlocked device that containsplenty of existing evidence can simplybe photographed, screen by screen.However, devices that contain crucialhidden or deleted data require a deep-er form of physical extraction knownas JTAG or chip-off methods. Thesemethods take advantage of a processcalled “wear leveling,” an automaticinternal mechanism in which thememory chip redistributes data fromone surface to another.

This is to prevent surface wear onthe memory, and thus make it lastlonger. However, it is possible for achip-off extraction to literally takedata off the surface of a memory chip.Doing so enables the examiner to findmore data fragments to reconstruct.Those fragments can then be broughtinto certain advanced mobile forensicstools for decoding and parsing.

Decoding third-party appsBillions of apps exist thanks to easyavailability of APIs and Android’s

open-source architecture. Therefore,no mobile forensic tool can extractand decode all apps. New apps, andupdated versions of those apps, areadded to the respective marketplacestoo frequently for forensic tool supportto be a realistic expectation.

Vendors do support many dozensof apps already. Going by the app’spopularity in the iPhone’s App Storeor Google Play, vendors can focus onwhich app support examiners needmost. Customer feedback also playsinto app support development.

Even after a vendor supports anapp, however, several obstacles exist.App support usually depends on theapp’s version and the operating systemon which it runs. Thus, when the appor the OS is updated, the vendor mustrevise its decoding methods to ensurethat the data is being parsed properly.

Additionally, decoding can berestricted to the type of data that theapplication is designed to store on thephone. For instance, the TigerText foriPhone and WhatsApp for Blackberry

Extraction speedsIt is important to remember that mobile devices were notdesigned with forensic extractions in mind. In general,logical extraction takes the shortest amount of time (butgets the least amount of data) and physical extraction, thelongest.

Logical and file system extraction speeds depend onhow much user data is stored on the device, while aphysical extraction depends on the capacity of the memo-ry chip itself. It also depends on the phone and the speedat which it can communicate with the mobile forensictool. The time frame thus varies from device to device.

For example, a 16 GB iPhone 4 with only 2 GB of userdata on it: I do a logical extraction and I retrieve about 1GB of data within a few minutes. The file system extrac-tion gets me 2 GB still within a few minutes. The physicalextraction will give me a 16 GB image even though thereis only 2 GB of user data because it is a bit-for-bit copyand this process can take 20-30 minutes.

Decoding the malicious appMobile malware has been making headlines over the pastyear or so, with Android apps heading the list because ofGoogle Play’s low level of regulation compared to Apple’sApp Store. Currently, only a few mobile forensic tools sup-port malware detection.

However, mobile malware mitigation still requires somemanual processes. A physical or file system extraction thatdetects a malicious app will decode it just as it would anyother data. However, identifying the malware is just the firststep. The onus of figuring out the app’s payload and whereit is “phoning home” rests with the forensic examiner, whomust use reverse engineering along with resources likeAnubis, which “sandboxes” .apks for safe exploration.

This kind of expertise can be important towards deter-mining whether the malware is really doing what it is sus-pected of doing (such as downloading child pornography orexfiltrating private data), what it is doing apart from what itis suspected of doing, and even whether it might be a falsepositive—an app misidentified as malicious.

S M A R T P H O N E A P P S

apps store their contact informationin an encrypted SQLite database onthe phone. Other decoding challengesinclude non-standard data compressionmethods and use of proprietary fileformats rather than SQLite databasesto store data.

That is why it is important to openan extracted database within the mobileforensics tool that was programmed todecrypt or decode its contents. Openingthe database outside of the right toolmay result in gibberish. However,opening the database within the righttool presents you with the decodedcontent.

(Even so, this is not always thecase. Sometimes you will be able toextract the data but not decrypt it.Other times, as with the iPhone 4sand 5 models and the iPad 3, noteven physical extraction is possible.)

iOS apps are a good example.Passwords within apps are containedwithin encrypted and protected key-chains, a vault for passwords for anyvariety of services—social mediaaccounts, WiFi connections, and manyothers. To obtain user data and contentfrom these services, it is necessary todecrypt the keychain.

In other cases, some iOS apps canchoose to utilize the encryptionmechanism provided by the deviceusing keys from the keychain. These

apps have their own password storagedatabase.

Some apps may be built to be anti-forensic. For instance, SnapChat wasdeveloped to allow users to view animage for just a few seconds beforetrashing it. Many devices store theimage only in RAM—not in the cacheor temp folder—so there is no data torecover.

However, this is not an ironclad rule.Different versions of SnapChat, installedon some devices, do store images in thecache or SD card, either of which can beextracted. And even this can changewith newer app versions.

What do you do if your suspect orvictim is using an app or app versionwith limited or no support? The firststep is to ask your vendors of choiceif they are planning to support theapp in the near future.

“Do-it-yourself” app support isalso possible with manual hex searchor via Python scripting. Using thisform of programming, you—or anexaminer you know to be skilled inPython—can develop plugins to sup-port the apps you encounter.Depending on the script’s complexityand the coder’s experience, thisprocess could take minutes, hours,days, or weeks. Some scripts couldaddress low-level bytes; others,parsed or decoded data.

Smartphones, and the apps theyalmost always harbor, need not bedifficult to examine or understand.Training can help develop a basicunderstanding of how apps store data.From there, it is incumbent on theexaminer to build deeper understandingof apps. You may choose to testmobile forensics tools on the sameversion of an app installed on thesame make and model of their evidencedevice. Or you might choose toresearch apps and smartphones apartfrom cases you are working.

Either way, understanding the basicsof what you can and cannot expect toretrieve will help build your exper-tise—and your credibility in courtshould you ever need to testify. ���

WHETHER A TRUCK broad-sides a car at an intersection, ora drive-by shooter opens fire on

a neighborhood street, both incidentsrepresent a crime scene. Therefore,each scene’s evidence is essential andmust be carefully documented andcollected.

If presentation of evidence from acrime scene is required in a courtroom,today’s investigator has some of themost compelling technology at hisfingertips. He’ll need it. After all, jurors,conditioned by years of television crimedramas strutting astounding forensictechnological advances, have come toexpect a sophisticated level of eviden-tiary presentation. Yet, much of thewhiz-bang CSI technology that appearson TV is rarely seen or used in thereal world of crime investigation. Buttechnology is king, and many lawenforcement agencies are adopting itto make the presentation of evidenceas clear, detailed, and convincing aspossible.

A basic checklist of crime scenedocumentation tools includes:

� Photographs� Eyewitness testimony

� Video footage of scene details� Crime scene diagram� Measurements of sceneDecades ago, plotting crime scene

evidence points and creating a diagramwas pretty basic, usually requiring asteel tape measure and paper and pencilto create a rough sketch of the scene.Fast-forward to 2013 and these manualsteps have been totally automated. Forgood reason. There is pressure to swiftlyreopen partially or fully closed roadswhen crashes occur, plus officer safetyis paramount. Even so, the investigatormust substantiate his collected evidencebefore scrutinizing jurors and attorneys.

As for the tools, the most basictechnology is a total station withreflectorless capabilities and a datacollector. The main providers of thetotal stations are Sokkia, Leica,Trimble, Nikon, and Nokia. Leadingdrawing software makers include TheCAD Zone, Inc., MapScenes, andVisual Statement.

Mapping in 3D RevealsVital Details

animated presentation that can behelpful in a courtroom. These methodsof scene depiction are welcome andeven expected. Reconstructionistshave effectively shown how 3D andanimated scenes give perspectives of anincident’s sequence of events, or of adriver’s visual orientation, that helpjurors understand what they are seeing.

Sgt. Tim Kravjanski of theWestbank (British Columbia) PoliceDepartment—a member of the depart-ment’s collision analysis team—inves-tigates both crash and crime scenes.He considers 3D scenes crucial formaking scene details clearer to a jury.Kravjanski uses the MapScenesForensic CAD desktop mapping soft-ware and Evidence Recorder (EVR)evidence collection program.

It is easy to see why the sergeantprefers building scene diagrams in 3D.For example, he recalls an incident inwhich two males were shot on aroadway near an elevated apartmentcomplex with a parkade. Witnesses,Kravjanski explains, were standingon a deck above the parkade andwatched the shooting incident unfold.“For evidentiary purposes, we created

a 3D diagram of the whole area inMapScenes (Forensic CAD), includingthe apartment with its decks,”Kravjanski said. “This allowed distancesto be measured, and to show wherewitnesses were positioned and whatthey saw, and any obstructions in theway. The 3D diagram was perfectbecause you could also see wheretrees were and how tall they were.”

The sergeant captures scene evi-dence with a total station that is linkedto the EVR program that displays inreal-time the evidence it captures.“With EVR, it’s the ability to put anote on every (evidence) point that youtake and do it quickly,” Kravjanskisaid. EVR not only displays the diagram,but fills it with important details suchas linework and labels, all in 3D andwith proper polar coordinates. “OnceI take the diagram into MapScenes, theonly thing I do is add trees, signage,telephone poles, and any other details,”Kravjanski said.

Animation DemonstratesWhat Drivers Could See

Lorne Starks, who operates California-based D&S Investigations, investigatescases ranging from single-vehicle tomulti-vehicle collisions. He has givenexpert testimony in more than 275court cases involving traffic accidentreconstruction, accident causation,damage analysis, and collision factors.Often, Starks is called upon to inves-tigate collisions well after they haveoccurred, and with little physical evi-dence. Starks maps scenes with aLaser Technology, Inc. (LTI) TruPulse360 R measurement and mappinglaser. He also adopted The PocketZone data collector from The CADZone, Inc., that works with the LTIlaser system. The Pocket Zone workswith a Pocket PC to take measurements

collected by the laser system right at acrash scene in real-time. Consequently,Starks can transfer all of his evidencepoints from The Pocket Zone into CADZone’s The Crash Zone diagrammingprogram.

Starks is a big fan of animation,and uses Crash Zone to create 3Danimations. For example, Starks canimport a satellite photo of a crash hehas investigated directly from GoogleEarth. Using that photo to overlay adiagram he has created in CrashZone, he then can animate the scene.“You can actually place the camera(for creating the animation) anywhereyou want in the scene,” Starksexplained. “So, for example, you canplace the camera showing the driver’sperspective as it’s approaching anintersection, and this shows what thedriver would actually see.”

It is typical for conflicting state-ments from drivers involved in an

accident to arise, most often claimingsomething was blocking their viewjust before the crash occurred. “Butwith animations, you can show acamera in one car approaching wherethe collision occurred, and then youcan switch the camera over to theother car and turn it as though you’returning your head to see the approachof the vehicle,” Starks continued. “Inthis way, you see when the approachingvehicle is first visible and you’re ableto get a distance. This will validatewhether or not something was blockingthe driver’s view.”

Laser Scanners GiveNumerous Crash Scenarios

Laser scanning is the latest method ofmapping a crime or crash scene and,although more costly than the ubiqui-tous total station, it gives unparalleleddetails of scene evidence. A laserscanner captures millions of datapoints and the entire scene preciselyas it appeared. Also, 3D walk-throughsare possible.

Duane Redding, executive vice-president of 3Con LLC and executivedirector of Redding Forensics Ltd,feels laser scanning will not displaceany mapping technologies, but willbe a first go-to tool. “One of theadvantages we’ve seen with laserscanning is a 60-70 percent reductionin time for investigators workingmajor accident scenes when usingthree-dimensional laser scanners,”Redding said. He also cited vastlydecreased human error because alaser scanner allows users to return toa scene any time and either validateor query any measurement that isdeemed suspect.

Although many scanners have theirown proprietary scanning softwarethat collect points, register multiplescans into a single scan, colorize, and

S C E N E M A P P I N Gcheck elevations, they do not allowdiagrams to be placed on top of thedata. This is what a scanner’s userneeds because, as Redding advises,“Once you have that data in a nice,clean point-cloud format, softwarefrom The CAD Zone, MapScenes, orVisual Statement can extract this data.”

Point CloudProvides Valuable Evidence

Point cloud software that works withlaser scanners is the latest innovationfor more effective scene mapping. Anew version of the MapScenesSystem for crash scene mapping andreconstruction, for instance, includesEvidence Recorder and ForensicCAD 2013 plus two add-on modules.The new modules include an anima-tion module that builds compellinganimated reenactments, and a pointcloud module for drawing featuresvia stationary, mobile, or airbornelaser scanners. Visual Statementoffers its EdgeFX Point Cloud softwarethat is fully interactive, accuratelymeasures distances in seconds, anduses 100 percent of the point cloud itmaps. The CAD Zone, Inc. has intro-duced its CZ Point Cloud software.When CZ Point Cloud is used withThe Crash Zone, the point cloud andCrash Zone diagram are displayedsimultaneously so the investigator canwork in either window. The diagramis built automatically in a secondwindow based on the exact coordinatesof the points selected from the cloud.

Customized Codinga Big Advantage

Most traffic investigators will not beusing a laser scanner to map scenesbecause the scene may be not requireit, but also due to a scanner’s costwhich easily exceeds $100,000. Atotal station or laser mapping systemis more likely to be the tool of choice.Nevertheless, a total station withbuilt-in or separate data collector,evidence collection software, and adiagramming program are the basiccomponents for documenting mostcrash and crime scenes.

Senior Trooper Christopher Ray ofthe Texas Highway Patrol recentlycompleted a training class onForensic CAD 2013, and found thesoftware’s improved resection and

diagram coding capabilities to behighly advantageous. With the resec-tion feature, Ray noted, “If we havejust a couple of evidence points (skidmarks, for example) even though theentire crash scene was not marked, wecan go back to the scene and create adrawing from just those two points.”

Ray also can create his own codesin Forensic CAD 2013. For instance, ifhe wants to notate “edge of pavement”on his diagram, the software allowshim to assign the code EP1, EP2, etc.In this way, Trooper Ray explains,“You can automatically connect pointsthat relate to a specific code. You canput a code next to a point and knowexactly what that point was,” thetrooper added. “You don’t have tomemorize the codes.” Forensic CAD2013 offers a library of 7,000 symbolsspecific to crash and crime scene dia-gramming, some in 3D.

Training is Keyto Scene Mapping Proficiency

For any of these technologies to beuseful and valuable, investigatorswho plan to use them, or who mayneed to brush up on newly introducedsoftware versions, must have ade-quate training. Most accident investi-gation and forensic mapping coursescover basic steps in at least 40 hours.According to Mike Selves, a certifiedcrash reconstruction specialist andtrainer in South Dakota, “We wantstudents to be confident that whenthey leave the class, no matter whatscene they’re on, they can shoot it(using a total station, typically), move

around within it (aided by evidencerecorder software), download it into adrawing program, make a drawing, andpresent that in court.” Selves usuallyconducts two-week courses to coverthe entire scope of his instruction.

Joel Salinas, a veteran crime sceneinvestigator and trained reconstructionistwith the Vallejo (California) PoliceDepartment, heartily agrees with Selves.Salinas, who teaches MapScenes andCAD Zone classes, worries that toomany investigators rely too much ontheir equipment vendor to teach themscene mapping and diagrammingbasics. Salinas recommends twoweeks for his students, with one weekdevoted to mapping a scene with atotal station, and a second week onlearning how to diagram a crash scene.After all, Salinas warns, “If the opera-tor is not able to answer questionsabout how he used his equipment andevidence collection software, he maynot get his diagram into court.”

Salinas has students learn how atotal station operates to the pointwhere they can go out and map ascene and produce a drawing on theirown. They are taught how to set up atotal station and map a crash or crimescene. Students learn how to drawbasic linework, how to use basic fea-tures of evidence collection anddrawing software for editing theirscene, and how to print it.

In addition, students are givenboth a written exam and assigned afinal project in which they mustdemonstrate proficiency.

Evidence is Main FocusMuch of the crash investigationcourse Salinas offers focuses on typesand scope of evidence. Specifically,in a crash scene, as evidence leads upto the heart of the scene, “therewould be a nice set of skid marks,”Salinas said. Students in his coursealso need to learn if the driverinvolved in a crash reacted, and lookfor crash data and post-crash data:when the vehicles came to rest, wherethe debris field lies, and any tire marks.

Real Crash Taps Students’ SkillsGetting adequate training is whatSelves considers the biggest challengein crash scene mapping. This is whyhe and Salinas—who has partneredwith Selves’ firm—Collision ForensicSolutions, learn how to use a totalstation and mapping and diagrammingsoftware before heading into the field.

In August, nine students in a classSelves was teaching in Amarillo,Texas, got a hands-on experience totest their newly acquired crash inves-tigation skills. On the last day of a

two-week class, Selves received acall just after his class began about anearby fatal accident that occurred ona five-lane road and involved a carthat had been t-boned by a truck at anintersection. Immediately, Selvesstopped his instruction. “I took theclass to the scene, but didn’t monitorthe students, didn’t do anything withthem,” Selves said. Instead, heinstructed the students to map thecrash scene on their own using thetraining they had just received inclass. “I had confidence in their abili-ties,” Selves said, “and they mappedthe scene perfectly.” Students arrivedat the scene at 9 a.m. and were backin Selves’ class before noon. “Theywere very proficient,” Selves said. ���

AS DNA became a staple inforensic science over the last fewdecades, a number of national

and state organizations grew to assistwith freeing wrongfully sentencedindividuals using DNA evidence.Meanwhile, technology has progressedfor both establishing proper chain ofcustody and testing for DNA samples.So far, these movements have gainedtraction with their goal to help thefalsely accused, and technology hasrefined DNA processing—with aston-ishing speed.

The Innocence ProjectThe most familiar organization estab-lished to help exonerate wrongfullyconvicted people through DNA testingis the Innocence Project, which wasfounded in 1992. Since its founding,the Innocence Project has beeninvolved in 171 of the 311 DNAexonerations nationwide—18 of whichwere death penalty cases. Otherswere helped by Innocence Networkorganizations, private attorneys, andpro se defendants in a few instances.The average length of time served byexonerees is 13.6 years. The InnocenceProject either was the attorney ofrecord in each case or consulted withthe defendants’ attorneys. For thesedefendants, the organization mayhave been their last or only hope ofgaining freedom.

Defendants initiate most of the

cases the Innocence Project handles,according to Huy Dao, the organiza-tion’s case director. Yet, Dao said,“We have to turn down the vastmajority of people who write to usbecause DNA is not going to be afactor in establishing identity, orresolving the question of guilt orinnocence in a case.”

Cases involving sexual assault havebeen viewed as the most fruitful forhaving enough biological evidence toproduce results. Dao notes that becauseDNA testing has become more refinedin recent years, the Innocence Projectlooks at every type of case becausethere is potential DNA to be obtainedand tested in almost any kind of case.

Long, Tedious ProcessOnce the Innocence Project beginspursuing evidence in a case, theprocess is long and tedious due toprivacy issues and the wait to haveevidence tested.

“Our mission statement makes thisprocess sound simple, but it may takeyears to deal with the volume andquality of review for each defendantwhose case might progress,” Daosaid. Meanwhile, the InnocenceProject is also working with the federalgovernment and states to help bringforth policy that will prevent wrongfulconvictions in the first place.

State-Level Innocence InquiryCommission

Today, the Innocence Project is notthe only player in its niche. In 2006,for example, the North CarolinaInnocence Inquiry Commission wasfounded. The Commission, which beganoperation in 2007, grew out of thecreation of an earlier commission byNorth Carolina Supreme Court JusticeI. Beverly Lake to study wrongfulconvictions and how to prevent andrectify them. This led to today’sInnocence Inquiry Commission aimedat investigating cases of people inNorth Carolina who claim they areinnocent after being accused of a crime.

“We’re the only Commission ofour kind,” said Kendra Montgomery-Blinn, the commission’s executivedirector. “We are a neutral state agencythat investigates and evaluates inno-cence claims. We only handle post-con-viction cases.”

Rigid Evidence Collection,Chain of Custody

The Innocence Inquiry Commissionis state funded and has received afederal grant for DNA testing. As astate agency, the Commission hasstatutory power, giving it the appropri-ate resources to investigate the case.Sharon Stellato, the Commission’sassociate director, explains, “In casesthat involve physical evidence, wefirst determine what was originally

collected and then work with lawenforcement agencies to determinewhat has been preserved and whatcan be tested.”

The Commission operates its ownevidence room that contains morethan 100 items, including buccal swabsfrom people pertinent to the investiga-tion. “We must follow the same chainof custody as any law enforcementagency, and only keep evidence thatcomes from other agencies for as longas the case is active,” Stellato said.

A Model for Other StatesWhat impact is the Innocence InquiryCommission’s work having so far?There have been four exonerations, andnumerous other convictions have beenconfirmed. The Commission worksclosely with government agencies tolocate and test physical evidence.Cases come via direct contact fromclaimants, or they can be referred tothe Commission by another stateagency, including a district attorneyor a law enforcement agency, notedStellato. Once the Commissionreviews a claim and determines that itmeets statutory criteria, it contactsthe original investigative agencies toobtain files and evidence. TheCommission staff presents a caseinvestigation to the commissionerswho determine if there is sufficientevidence of actual innocence to meritjudicial review. If so, the case is sentback to open court for a full hearing.

Montgomery-Blinn thinks theInnocence Inquiry Commission is agood model for the entire UnitedStates. Many other states already areworking to create similar commissionsto review their innocence claims.

Another organization is the ArizonaJustice Project that has operated since1998. The group helps overturn—andprevent—wrongful convictions inArizona, and provides legal represen-tation to inmates who believe they areinnocent. The Arizona Justice Projectalso works to achieve policy reform tostrengthen the criminal justice systemtowards minimizing the chance thatwrongful convictions will occur inthe first place.

Tracking DNA EvidenceEvidence integrity begins at thesource, so it is paramount that reliable

evidence management systems and labtesting are in place. These componentsare crucial, particularly with the increasedemphasis on establishing proper chainof custody for DNA samples.

John San Agustin, inspector for theEl Paso County (Colorado) Sheriff’sOffice, explained, “By having sometype of automated software or evidencemanagement system in place, thisallows you to track the chain of cus-tody. With this technology, we’re ableto see when that piece of evidencewas collected, where it was collectedfrom, where it was placed in an evi-dence storage facility, and whether ornot it was properly stored.”

Such automated technology tellsevidence and law enforcement person-nel what needs to be tested, but mayalso indicate specific items that stillmust be collected from an investigativestandpoint. San Agustin points to theEvidenceOnQ evidence managementprogram from FileOnQ as one he hasobserved in use that is able to createsolid chain of custody. “This programallows you to look at specific itemsthat may have better value, and helpsyou determine which items to send tothe lab immediately for analysis,”San Agustin said.

The Supreme Court and DNAYears-old crimes linked to newlyidentified suspects demonstrate howimportant testing rape-kit evidence hasbecome. Such testing can take habitualrapists off the streets, preventingother people from being assaulted.Rape kits’ contents may vary, but ofteninclude bags and sheets for evidencecollection, swabs for collecting bodilyfluids, blood collection devices, combsfor collecting hair and fiber collection,and glass slides.

The DNA evidence collected inthose rape kits becomes even morevaluable as local and national DNAdatabases continue to grow. ForensicDNA testing was given a boost thispast June when the Supreme Courtruled that it is constitutional forpolice to take DNA samples fromindividuals arrested but not convictedof violent crimes without obtaining awarrant for the DNA sample. Thecourt argued this action is valid sinceswabbing for DNA is a reasonable

search that is part of the booking pro-cedure when someone is arrested.

Electronic Tracking Speeds UpRape Kit Testing

Darrell Allen, property room supervisorfor the San Antonio (Texas) PoliceDepartment, recalls that his propertyroom contained about 12,000 rapekits when he joined the department in2005. But with a manual evidencetracking system, there was no efficientway of inventorying those items.

“Before we installed this evidencemanagement software, accomplishingsuch an inventory would have beenimpossible because evidence was com-ing in so fast we could not inventory itfast enough to get an accurate count,”Allen said. “Also, with the manualevidence tracking system, propertycould be removed and replaced back toits place during the inventory process!”

He said that the evidence trackingsoftware, EvidenceOnQ, solved thatproblem, giving the San AntonioPolice Department a reliable way oftracking the 1.4 million pieces ofproperty in its evidence room. Thisincludes tracking whether or not a kithas been tested, recording when a kitis tested, and the ability to flag newkits to ensure they are tested withinthe timeframe mandated by law.

Testing Bottlenecks Cause HugeBacklogs

Timely testing comes in lockstepwith properly storing, preserving andestablishing chain of custody forDNA, especially in older cases. Thisgoes to the heart of why groups likethe Innocence Project exist, sincemany of the victims they try to helpface the death penalty.

It’s a concern to Joe Latta, executivedirector of the International Associationfor Property and Evidence, Inc. (IAPE).“The evidence custodian should lookthrough all evidence to see if any islinked to crimes or sexual assaultcases,” Latta said. Even so, Lattaconcedes, “The crime lab may nothave the capability of testing. Everylab is going to be different.”

The International Association ofChiefs of Police agrees with Latta, andexpresses concern over the backlog ofevidence that most agencies musthandle. John Firman, director of

Evidence Technology Magazine • November-December 2013www.EvidenceMagazine.com

16

D N A E V I D E N C EIACP’s Research Center, notes that hisorganization wants more federal moneyprovided to alleviate the backlog andgive more resources to crime labs toprocess evidence such as DNA. To letthis problem persist, Firman said, is“irreconcilable with good lawenforcement investigative practices.”

New MethodsTest DNA within Hours

Some help is on the horizon for crimelabs nearly buckling under huge DNAtesting workloads. For example, RapidDNA, which translates to nearly real-time DNA analysis, can yield resultsin as little as 60 minutes and requiresminimal operator training. The goalis for Rapid DNA to dramatically andquickly aid investigations. Promptlyanalyzed samples could be checkedagainst databases for unsolved crimescene profiles and databases ofknown offender/arrestee profiles, thusaiding investigators in establishingstronger leads.

The Arizona Department of PublicSafety’s crime lab is testing a productcalled RapidHIT 200, that can deliverDNA test results in less than two hours.

Other EvidenceMay be a Focal Point

San Agustin, the El Paso County Sheriff’sOffice inspector, warns against makingDNA the only evidence to consider incrime cases.

“DNA is something you have tobe extremely careful with because it’snot the end-all,” San Agustin said.“You have to also question whether itwas handled properly when the caseactually happened.”

DNA as evidence is relatively new,San Agustin continued. Testing hasbeen around for only a few decades.

Another concern is the tendency towant to test every piece of evidencefor DNA. “What they’re missing is,first, asking whether or not the caseis a DNA case,” San Agustin said.“Not every case is.”

Latta agreed with San Agustin’sassessment, but has a slightly differentview on DNA testing. “You couldhave a rape, but not have a sexualassault kit,” Latta offered. “You mayjust have clothing, but nobody measuresthat. There could be other pieces ofevidence even more valuable than thesexual assault kit.”

The emphasis on DNA and ensuringthat it is tested is well founded, saidLatta. “It’s probably the most importantevidence in a property room,” hesaid. “You’ve got guns, money, andnarcotics, which are the fruits of thecrime. But it’s that DNA evidence,and testing it, that solves the crime.”

To that point, Latta is heartily infavor of automating the chain of custodyfor DNA samples. “The software cancatalog the biological evidence so thatwe can get a better grasp of what’sactually in the property room andmake sure it’s tested before thestatutes of limitations expire,” Lattasaid. He added that states are placinglonger statutes of limitations on anyitem collected that may have biologicalevidence.

Automation Speeds TrackingWhile DNA is not the only type ofevidence that property rooms handle,its elevated status has definitelyhelped drive the effort among lawenforcement agencies to automatetheir evidence tracking process.David Reeves, property and evidencetechnician with the Spartanburg(South Carolina) Public SafetyDepartment, uses the EvidenceTracker software from TrackerProducts. “Our evidence tracking isall automated, which means that themoment the officer drops off evidenceand it is entered into the software, itis tracked,” said Reeves. “Whereasbefore, the officer would sign in anddate it. There was a lapse of time inthe chain of custody process. Nowthere isn’t.”

Auditing evidence inventory isanother key aspect. Reeves reportsthat it took three and a half days toperform an audit with his manualsystem. Now, using the new software,a 10 percent audit in his propertyroom, which takes in 37,000 items ayear, only requires half of a day.

Software CapturesEvidence History

Evidence management software alsois helpful for capturing a history onevidence. Using the QueTel evidencemanagement software, Mike Owen,evidence technician with the Vernon(Texas) Police Department, says, “If Iwant to do a history search on an evi-

dence item, QueTel tells me everythingthat has gone on with that one pieceof evidence—when it was placed inthe system, where it was placed, whochecked it out and why, when it wasreleased, and who signed for it.”

Handbook onProperty Room Best Practices

The issue of evidence management isso important that in April 2013, a largepanel of evidence experts publishedThe Biological Evidence PreservationHandbook—Best Practices forEvidence Handlers. The handbookgives guidelines set forth by theNational Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST). In particular, thehandbook cites deficits in identificationof evidence as a central issue. To correctthis problem, the handbook recommendsautomated identification technologiesto enhance chain-of-custody tracking,to facilitate inventories, and allow forefficient retrieval of evidence.

While some agencies have softwarefor this purpose, the handbook statessuch software in some cases does nottrack the return of evidence once signedout. To correct this, the handbook suggestsagencies look for an evidence man-agement system that can producecustomizable “tickler files”—notifi-cations that a checked-out item is duefor return.

Such automated capabilities couldbe invaluable for DNA samples cap-tured from old cases. Allen from theSan Antonio Police Departmentagreed, and even presented a scenariothat shows how crucial careful DNAsample collection and preservation canbe: “Let’s say you have a serial rapistor mass murderer, and because theevidence room in a law enforcementagency was unable to efficiently collect,store, transport, and provide chain ofcustody for the evidence, now youhave a criminal on the street,” Allensaid. “If just one of these cases ismishandled and gets in the media, itwill take years to recoup your depart-ment’s reputation.” ���
