1.

Mr. Fred Dead was reported to be missing by his wife. She knew that he owed money to a Mr. Ding Dong and she was concerned. Police arrived at the home of Mr. Dong and discovered high velocity blood spatter on the wall of the living room and walking drips measuring a vertical drop distance of 30 cm. There was no body at the location. When investigators interrogated Mr. Dong she reported that Mr. Dead came to his house and started beating on the door. Mr. Dong opened the door and was attacked by Mr. Dead. Mr. Dong grabbed a baseball bat and hit Mr. Dead in the head. Mr. Dead then ran away into the woods. Use this data to confirm or dispute the eyewitness account. What would you expect to see if Mr. Dong was telling the truth?What does the high velocity spatter pattern indicate about the events?What does the vertical drip height indicate about the events?
