How good are your CSI’s?
Meticulous as ours?
A discarded Halloween prop prompted a death
investigation that lasted about three and half hours Tuesday until Santa Fe
police realized the skull was only
plastic.
Deputy Police Chief Aric Wheeler said police were called to the corner of Hopewell and Sixth streets, where a woman walking her dog said she found a human skull in a vacant lot…
Police did not touch or move the skull, but a crime-scene technician took photos of it and sent them to The University of New Mexico to be analyzed by anthropologists. Two of the scientists who first looked at the photos told police they were dealing with human remains, but later, a supervisor who looked at the photos said the skull was not real…
Police will enter the skull into their evidence locker and label it as “found property.”
Santa Fe PD budget doesn’t allow for consulting with Grissom.
