The police let absolute strangers come in and trample all over the crime scene, they let the father go into the crime scene and contaminate everything. They cleaned the entire house down. There was no way they could have ever solved that case, any sort of evidence was either now unreliable or washed away]]> 2021-02-19 16:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219539406 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219566386 What went wrong was the crime scene was not secured properly and the collection of evidence was made impossible with all the people walking around the crime scene contaminating the evidence making it so the little evidence that was present to be inconclusive and not being able to use in a trial. ]]> 2021-02-19 16:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219566386 s067472 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219591240 1) The crime scene was not secured, many people (neighbors and family friends) were walking through the whole house as well as passing the only piece of evidence they had at the time which contaminated it. 
2) Jon was told to look around the house to see if anything was unusual 
3) He then picked up JonBenet and takes the tape which is now contaminated as well as JonBenet's body and put a nonsterial blanket over her ]]> 2021-02-19 17:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219591240 s088121 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219596449 Crime scene was not secured. There was a slew of people who passed through there, touched the ransom note, walked all throughout the house, and generally contaminated the crime scene. The father then found the body and completely contaminated it by removing the tape from the mouth and throwing the blanket over her.  ]]> 2021-02-19 17:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219596449 s068704 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219597272 the police let lots of people into the crime scene contaminating evidence making it unusable in the trial ]]> 2021-02-19 17:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219597272 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219602547 What went wrong is that the police didn't secure the crime scene in any way before it got contaminated by everyone that entered the house. All of the evidence was now tainted and made the investigation ten times harder.]]> 2021-02-19 17:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219602547 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219605475 What went wrong was that the police were never able to secure the crime scene since all the people were in the house and the father had touched her and thrown a blanket over her which left the families DNA on her and then since everyone was touching the ransom note there was fingerprints and DNA of many people all over it. ]]> 2021-02-19 17:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219605475 s068889 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219608141 The scene was not secured properly, many people around the area was walking through the house and also passing evidence that had been contaminated. So then there was little to no evidence that would be used in a trial. They then let the father in who had removed take and threw a blanket over her body]]> 2021-02-19 17:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219608141 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219613041 The first officer on the scene did not secure the area and clear everyone out. 

The father searched the house himself contaminating any evidence.

The father found his daughters body and picked her up and took off tape on her mouth contaminating evidence and threw a blanket over her.

Too many people were present and looking for Jon Benet that they contaminated all evidence as well as her parent contaminated the crime scene where her body was found. The police were terrible at not looking for her themselves and failed to prepare this little girl a proper case for justice with strong evidence.]]> 2021-02-19 17:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219614826 s068461 https://padlet.com/loriblackburn/bscwaieau67obnkj/wish/1219621628 The police did not secure the scene.
