- As a homicide detective, I worked over 250 murders.

- [Narrator] Today Rod is going to break down

what's right and wrong in Hollywood crime scenes.

things that actually happen versus things that don't.

In this scene, Ace arrives at a crime scene uninvited.

- I heard a scream, so I called the manager.

- [Manager] The place was empty except for that dang dog

I opened the balcony door, looked over the railing.

- This scene is highly inaccurate in the fact

that there are a million people at this crime scene

Crime scenes are really controlled and the number of people

to contaminate a crime scene is closely monitored.

- Lieutenant, he came with Miss Robinson.

We'll let you know if the coroner finds a tick.

- Crime scenes are often guarded by a patrol officer

their names are taken and they're screened

and they're scrutinized, so the fact of Ace

just popping up in a crime scene and nobody knowing it

- So you don't think this is an obvious suicide,

Lord knows there's plenty of evidence here

for that spot of blood on the railing over there.

- A person collecting blood has to collect the blood

It has to be photographed and swabbed and preserved.

The other thing is it's an incredible biohazard.

No one would ever put their hand or finger in blood

He had a few drinks and he came home, but he wasn't alone.

Someone else was with him in this apartment,

there was a struggle and he was thrown over that balcony.

- Well, that's a very entertaining story,

but unfortunately real detectives have to worry

- What's cool about this scene is Ace is sort of

the renegade guy who was not supposed to be there

and everyone else there has the same theory

or thought process going on and actually that happens a lot.

There's always a bunch of people that know so much

There's no way that neighbor could have heard Podacter

scream on the way down with that door shut.

The scream she heard came from inside this apartment

and the murderer closed the door before he left, yes!

or someone heard someone scream and there's something

that physically prevents that from being possible.

Then that theory has to go out the window

and that's clearly what's happened in this case.

It's pretty accurate as far as the way detectives think

Sometimes the simplest things are often lost

And that's probably what makes this a little bit

- So what's happening in this scene is someone's called in

a cleaner and someone to clean up a crime scene.

So what this cleaner does is, is they come and they

try to get rid of evidence or key evidence

that can link somebody or tie somebody to a crime.

Obviously the person that called the cleaner is
