So good to be back online with CCLiveChat! Again, the hour moved fast and our friends on their mobiles had quite a struggle to keep up. But that does not matter. I am very glad they were all there.
We discussed some DCC news and the “no progress” in the Zeigler case to move over to so many different things, my head spins! We covered the disappearance of Nancy Grunwaldt. It is one to watch as Nancy was never found. We got into a discussion on the Alice Hawkes case and explored some options there.
Updates from around the world included a 2000 year old cold case, solved by CT scan. But, who did it?!
Richard pointed out the Fingerprint Society Annual Conference April 13-15, 2012, in Derbyshire. Richard intends to tweet some of the sesisons so we reserve Friday April 13th’s cclivechat for that. I wish I could go. Just look at what the website says about the workshops:
“Workshop participants will gain insight into;
- The basis for palm print crease identification.
- The three groups of palmar flexion creases, an in-depth understanding of nomenclature.
- How palmar creases develop.
- Which creases are more valuable for identification purposes.
- A method for palm print crease analysis and how to effect a palm print crease comparison.
- The two methods of proceeding with a palm print evaluation.
- How to generate your own sufficiency data.
- The challenges of palm print crease identification.”
Anything I forgot? Just post it in the comment section below this recap. The verbatim text is here as usual.
Cheers!

Vidocq_CC | Silvia Pettem will be blogging on DCC about very old, cold cases and we really mean, decades old. This way they get 1/2 #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:11:36 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | re-newed media attention and we may be able to network with other blogs/sites to get local media interested again. #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:12:03 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @moinamac Do you believe she was murdered or that her death was an accident? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:12:29 +0000 |
moinamac | @Vidocq_CC some locals linked Grunwaldt case to Victoria Cafasso's also unsolved case but think was just coincidence #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:13:44 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @moinamac Could it have been a hit-and-run? We'd need the autopsy report to see what her injuries were. #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:13:45 +0000 |
moinamac | @Vidocq_CC we'd need her for autopsy sadly. They never found her #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:14:37 +0000 |
moinamac | @Vidocq_CC Victoria Cafasso: http://t.co/1eFLZlwm #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:16:44 +0000 |

Vidocq_CC | @moinamac Have they ever re-searched the area where she disappeared? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:17:00 +0000 |
TrickyCase | @Vidocq_CC @moinamac there is a big forensic conference in Tasmania later this year.. It would be good to generate interest #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:18:14 +0000 |
moinamac | @Vidocq_CC A lot, no trace of her or her bike. Could have been hit & run/disposal somewhere, Tassie quite easy to hide people #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:19:51 +0000 |

Vidocq_CC | @TrickyCase Hi Richard! Great idea! By the way, remind me. The case you might wanted to blog about, was that Joe Helt? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:20:40 +0000 |
moinamac | @TrickyCase @vidocq_cc I know would love to go, ANZFSS conferences always good apparently #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:20:51 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @moinamac @trickycase Is there a link to that conference? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:21:45 +0000 |

TrickyCase | @LilacLounge @moinamac @vidocq_cc mines a bit on the slow side... But coping well under the #cclivechat pressure! | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:33:03 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @TrickyCase Thank you, Richard! #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:33:12 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @iowa_card Does the landlord play a role in your thoughts? More than the boyfriend? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:33:44 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @TrickyCase @lilaclounge @moinamac Pressure? What pressure? 😀 #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:34:17 +0000 |

iowa_card | @Vidocq_CC boyfriend really bothers me, a lot. also, her friend who did not go to funeral, will consider landlord, great thought #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:35:25 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @LilacLounge Not a problem, just glad to have you there. Musings can always be posted in comment section below the recap later. #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:36:02 +0000 |

Vidocq_CC | The scan shows he as bludgeoned over the head, garrotted and then beheaded - leading archaeologists to suspect he was sacrificed #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:39:17 +0000 |
iowa_card | @Vidocq_CC the attack really leads me to think someone with romantic interests did it..... very personal, vengeful attack #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:39:36 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @iowa_card Agreed! Alice did know her murderer, for sure and yes, the attack was very personalized. #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:40:59 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @iowa_card Could she have indicated a "break up" with the boyfriend? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:41:20 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @RisWrites Thanks, I find this stuff fascinating! #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:41:41 +0000 |
iowa_card | @Vidocq_CC i think so, i don't remember exactly what it was, but i have that impression. something very wrong in bf actions. #CClivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:43:15 +0000 |

iowa_card | @Vidocq_CC also, the bit where the "wrong key" was left out, do we know if it really was? or ruse to create witness? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:44:32 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | Vincent Groves' DNA will be compared to evidence in various cold cases, this is one to watch! #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:45:08 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @moinamac I read about that, correct. Major mistake although they's argue "many foot steps on a beach." #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:46:04 +0000 |
iowa_card | @Vidocq_CC the "bf" actions indicate a real lack of concern about #AliceHawkes to me. Y not bust in,if he really cared for her? #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:46:10 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @iowa_card That is another puzzle piece we need to sit on! #cclivechat | Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:46:26 +0000 |
