Flotsam and Jetsam

  1.  As Mr. Maples 'puts himself' in the victims role at the time of death, does this not cloud his judgment   as he gets connected in a way to the victim?
  2.  When he places himself in the murderer's perspective he questions weather or not he paused or he was in a rush... is this important in identifying the murderer/murder weapon?
  3.  Is it possible from a specific chain saw to be tracked down and through that get the person who did the dismemberment, or can one only notice the model of the chain saw?
  4.   Do most murderers have similar styles or is his comment on joints and bones just pertaining to dismemberment?
  5. What happens to the remains that are found but can not be identified? where do they go?

  8. Did Mr. Maples have to take courses in criminal justice because he does so much crime work?
  9. How do they know when the crime had to do with gangs or with 'ordinary' citizens?
