"Girl Found Alive Among Bodies"

      Crime scene investigators should have correct training before being allowed to work on cases. On September, 5 2012 two British woman and a man were found dead in their car in the foothills of the Alps in Eastern France. The investigators sent to the scene, however failed to notice a young girl cowering under the legs of a dead woman. She was, and had been, alive and hiding for 8 hours while the police investigators had failed to notice her.

     If the investigators on scene would have immediately accounted for and checked all the bodies, this 8 year old would have not laid in terror for 8 hours straight. Eric Mailliud told reporters that the child was "probably terrorized, completely concealed, completely immobile amid the corpses." Understandably, if a child is so terrified that she does not move for 8 hours, it is easy to assume the worse considering the circumstance, but it was also stated that a heat sensing camera failed to pick up her presence. How can that be? A malfunction perhaps? Or maybe it was the fault of someone working on the scene. Seemingly, if the investigators on scene would have had proper training they would have been able to identify the survived victims immediately. They would have known proper means of checking each body found to determine its state and the girl would have been given proper medical and psychological care as soon as they arrived. It is sad that this small girl hid alone and terrified for 8 hours because of mistakes these investigators made.
