CSI: Down the Drain

What kind of camera do they use to take pictures? What are the first things that they look for when they find a patient? What type of device were they using when looking underground? How do they figure out how old some one is by just their bones? Why did the cotton swab turn pink and what was the stuff that they dripped on it?
 * What I want to know:**

Victim one: First they take pictures of the victim. Then they look around for clues of possibilities of how he got killed Found sunscreen on a lanyard, found his keycard, he’s a lifeguard They cut the body open down the center and took out his ribs Fluid in the air passages: maybe he drown Maybe he was surfing Las Vegas style: on an enter tube
 * What I saw in the video:**

Victim two: Found bones: could be his, could have been flushed down drain: most of the bones were found by the main line: the pieces of the bones make up a body: stab wombs The only way the water will rise is if something was blocking the way Water rises and submerges the body They are looking for a murder Took something off of the bone: I think he crushed it He was a teenager: 13-15 based on his molars His bones are too worn down to find out more of who it was The body has been decomposing for at least 2 years They look for missing person report Chemicals in a sewer make the body decompose faster He was stabbed, fell on to the wall and down the stairs: there are blood samples on wall Could not have been the dogs blood from what the kid said because of the splatter on the wall SUSPECT ONE: • Multiple weapons in house • Shot gun under couch loaded • Teenager who likes to throw cherry bombs down the sewer • Found blood evidence that matched in the house • Found bombs in the closet: illegal explosives
