Detective Sterling arrived at a crime scene where a victim had supposedly drowned in a shallow indoor decorative pond. The victim's hair was completely dry, but his shoes were soaked. Sterling knew instantly the victim was murdered elsewhere. How?
Head positioning
To drown in a shallow indoor pond, a person's head must be submerged face-down, which would inevitably wet their hair. Dry hair in a drowning scenario proves the body was dumped after death.
