A bloody knife on a cold floor laying next to a cold lifeless body. What was the cause of this death? A pair of dress shoes neatly placed next to the arm, why? The person laying on the ground looks to be male. There is blood on the forearm into the palm of his hands and onto the handle of the knife. Was this person standing where he currently lays? There are some blood drops splattered on the ground in front of the blade. The shoes seem placed a little to neatly and have no dirt on them. If they belong to the deceased it shows that he had clean habits. The location of this mystery seems to be in a kitchen or dining area. The angle of the image does not allow for much more interpretation. The question no lays into “why?” Why was this person murdered? Is the knife for protection or was it used to assault and hurt someone? No one will know for now, only him.
Crime scenes like this may happen more often than we imagine and it is the detail of the clues that helps investigators. Crime scene photography can be crucial in helping fill in the blanks but also help preserve the details. The important thing about a photo like this is that it can answer a few questions. Can it answer the, Who, What, Why, Where and When for an investigator? Look closely and it can answer at least three of the five. The Why and When are the only two that cannot be determined just by looking at the photo.
