Crime Scene Field Forms

51 items · 51 documentary · 31 with detail pages

These field records include crime-scene and vehicle-search checklists, evidence-collection forms, criminalists’ notes, diagrams, fingerprint lift cards, and related identification records. Bundy and Rockingham documents record scene responsibility, item numbers, collection details, transfers, and observations, while later forms document searches of the Bronco. Testimony and examination addressed blank collector or time fields, erasures, later-completed entries, renumbering, handwriting, and questions about whether particular pages were originals or copies.

Defense 1091 — Rockingham Evidence-Collection Field Form
📄 Documentary

Defense or Defendant's 1091, an older criminalists' field form recording evidence collected at Rockingham, described as covering the first sixteen items. Michele Kestler confirmed blank identification-photo boxes, no collector identity, missing collection times, and omitted packaging entries. The sock timing was disputed: one examination challenged the absence of a sock timestamp, while Johnnie Cochran later argued that sequential entries placed the socks between 4:30 and 4:40 p.m.
