Officials broke ground on a new evidence collection building for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation in London.
Officials broke ground on a new evidence collection building for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation in London, a project aimed at strengthening the agency’s crime-scene and cold-case work. The new facility will replace BCI’s current evidence collection building, which is 800 square feet.
Attorney General Dave Yost said the new building is needed to better track evidence and bring justice to victims as DNA technology evolves. "But this story illustrates why it's so important to have enough space to be able to hold the materials for these cases, to be able to store them properly, to maintain their integrity, so that when the science does catch up, we're able to process a rape or a murder case and find the person who did it. There's nothing that keeps me up at night more than thinking about unsolved cases," Yost said.BCI also unveiled a new gun range at the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy in London, intended to boost officers’ training.Columbus police responded to a shooting on Lockbourne Road early Wednesday morning.Few details were immediately available, but ABC6 confirmed the shooting tA body found floating in Big Walnut Creek by passerby Sunday has been identified as Angela Fair.
