AP+Harvest+Notes

Comparison b/t the two movies:

In harvest when the detectives approach the crime scene they block it off and line the area with caution tape. They then asked the witness what she saw and if she had seen anyone. They went to the houses of the suspect with a warning. There were many suspects that they thought had killed her. They did and autopsy and examined the body of how she could of been killed. When they found a clue they took it to the crime scene and did DNA analysis and examined the evidence.

IN Dial M for Murder when the detectives arrived all they did was take pictures and try to re-in act the scene. They didn't go to Swans house to see if there were any clues of why he had wanted to kill the wife in the first place. When the detectives found a clue they didn't take it back to the lab they just assumed that they knew everything that had happened.

Dial M for Murder and harvest detectives did the same thing when they got to the scene because they took pictures. In both movies they examined the houses of the victims. In both movies they re-in acted of what they thought could of happened.
