Crime Scene

Analysis

Victim Evidence

Chart

Victim Anatomical Analysis Form

Detective name: ____________________________

Date: ________/_______/_________

Complete the victim analysis below:

The homicide victim had five substantial wounds found on their body. Wound

1, found on the ( medial / lateral ) abdomen, caused internal bleeding within the

abdominal wall, due to the fact that the wound was ( superficial / deep ), being at

nearly 4 inches deep. The injury occurred (ventrally / dorsally), therefore causing

extreme trauma.

Wound 2, found ( superior / inferior ) to the spinal column, most likely caused

the victim to lose consciousness. However, because the wound was ( superficial /

deep) at only ¼ of an inch, it may appear that this wound did not cause death.

Wound 3, a group of stabbing marks along the ( anterior / posterior ) of the

victim, caused extreme amounts of blood loss. Although the wound locations were

random and sporadic, no single wound was ( central / peripheral ), and therefore

caused no damage of the spinal column.

Wound 4, a large blunt force trauma wound to the top of the head, caused

brain hemorrhaging, as well as most likely contributed to the loss of the victim’s

consciousness.

Wound 5, a very ( superficial / deep ) wound occurred on the victim’s left

wrist. Because the wound was ( proximal / distal) to the source of blood, the heart,

the wound caused the least amount of external blood loss to the victim.
