AN UNUSUAL BLOODSTAIN CASE

A body was discovered associated with a series of bloodstains on a sun ken loading ramp of a supermarket. The initial evaluation of the scene by the local police determined that the victim was crushed by the rea r wheels of an 18-wheel grocery truck when it backed down the ramp for a delivery. However, a careful examination of the photographs of the scene and the victim revealed that the victim was dead and in rigor mo rtis before the truck entered the ramp. The truck's rear wheels never came into contact with the deceased. The truck interacted with the dec eased and his bicycle to create series of unusual bloodstain patterns.
