Dial M for Murder Questions

1. how do the detective approach the crime scene?

The detectives approach the crime scene in a casual way. They look around the room and do not remove all people or try to preserve all of the evidence and whitnesses. They question the husband and do not immidialty question the wife who was involved. They examine and take up all of the exidence but do not take fingerprints or any sort of samples.

2. what techniques for solving the crime were available? (Ex. DNA, fingerprint, etc.)

The only techniques avalible were questioning and a generall examination of the body and the crime scene. They dont take any sort of dna, fingerpting or forensic evidence to a lab. They dont examine the victim (wife) for marks or signs of struggle. They also dont examine her to see what exactly she was stranged by and what wepon was found. They also dont check the evidence and things to see if the killers (victim) acctually used the evidence as thier wepons.

3. how was the crime solved?

The crime was solved because of the husbands money involvement. His large amounts of cash on him that was to be given to swan. It was also solved by the finding of the key in her purse. When the husband meant to put the spare house key back into his wifes purse he put swans house key into her purse. Swan was found with no key on him at all which raised suspition in the detective. He took the key from the wifes purse and found that it fit into the key hole of Swans girlfriends house. They then waited for the husnad to return to the house without a key and saw him get the key from under the stairwell proving that he left a key for swan to murder his wife.
