Tree with yellow tape used for crime scene mock investigation

Columbia Forensics students are using what they learned about crime scene search procedures to search a Mock Crime Scene in the courtyard. 

Students used a grid search method to locate evidence pertinent to the case.  They  used evidence markers to photograph each piece of evidence and sketched the scene. 

The students will include evidence and entry logs in a final google slide project to present their findings.  A final summary of the evidence will be submitted for trial.
