The sale for super producer Jerry Bruckheimers Los Angeles home has fallen through.

The Beverly Hills Cop and Flashdance producers Brentwood home went into contract a few weeks ago after the price was cut to $11.9 million, but it was re-listed for sale on Wednesday with the same price tag.

At the time it went into contract, the listing agent, Mike Deasy of Deasy & Penners, stressed that there were contingencies linked to the sale and he confirmed Friday that it was back on the market.

Property records show that the 73-year-old film and TV producer, whose other credits include Top Gun, Pirates of the Caribbean and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, bought the home in 1985 for $1.86 million.

He first put it on the market in 2015 with a $14.4 million price tag, which was later reduced to $12.995 million in June and mostly recently, in January, to $11.9 million.

The gated steel, glass and wood pavilion house was built in 1965 and is set on three-quarters of an acre of tree-filled land, according to the listing.

The main house has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a high-ceilinged glass-enclosed living room, formal dining, a library, a media room and a gym.

The master suite, meanwhile, has its own wing with a private garden, and there is also a studio guesthouse with cooking facilities overlooking a pool.

According to Variety, this is one of several properties Mr. Bruckheimer and his wife, novelist Linda Bruckheimer, own.

In Los Angeles, these include a townhouse in Venice and a Hollywood Hills home, Variety reported. Property records show that he also owns two adjoining penthouses in Miami Beach.

Year 5 and 6 students from Bowen Public School launched their own mock criminal investigation as part of a science workshop run by the Education Interactive program on Wednesday.

Teacher Holly Thompson said the studentswere presented with a hypothetical crime and had to use a variety of forensic scientific methods to solve it.

Students used finger printing to see the difference in finger prints, UV lights to read invisible ink,used litmus paper to test pretend poisons, built a DNA model and used a digital microscope to find clues, she said.

The students tracked their progress on a recording sheet and came up with a suspect from the information they gathered.

All students enjoyed the session and had come to similar conclusions in the investigation.

TECHNOLOGY: Steve Murphy with Bowen Public School students Kimi Craigie-Lucas and Tamia Pollard used technology during the science workshop.

PROBLEM SOLVING: Zandah Laws joined in the workshop.

CRIME SCENE: Caillson Collison Rihanna Smith took part in a mock-up of a criminal investigation.

The Charles County Sheriffs Office is pleased to recognize the Criminal Justice Students at North Point High School for their outstanding efforts during the first stages of the 2017 SkillsUSA competitions, in which they performed well enough to advance to state competitions later this year. On February 4, sixteen students from North Point competed against students from the Criminal Justice Program in St. Marys County at the SkillsUSA Regional Competition. The competition was divided into two categories: Criminal Justice and Crime Scene Investigations.

The Crime Scene Investigation portion of the competition consisted of three-man teams who were scored on their ability to process a crime scene. Brandon Rodriguez, Ethan Snider, and Jackie Zheng won first place, and Jabria Miles, Shawna McCarter, and Nadia Corbett took third, qualifying both teams for the State Competition.

Im so proud of these students, said Master Corporal Rhett Calloway, who heads the Criminal Justice Program at North Point High School. They dedicate themselves to this program all year, and its so rewarding to see them shine at these competitions.

One of the most important missions of the CCSO is our investment in the local youth through efforts such as the Criminal Justice program, summer youth camps, and the Explorers, said Sheriff Troy Berry. These high school students are the young leaders of today, and our investment in them will pay big dividends as they pursue law enforcement opportunities in the future.

The 44th Annual SkillsUSA Maryland Leadership and Skills Conference will take place on April 29 in Anne Arundel County. Information about SkillsUSA and the competition can be found at mdskillsusa.org.

North Point High School Criminal Justice Students Stand Out at Regional SkillsUSA Competition - Southern Maryland News Net

The world of 3D printing fills quite a few people with excitement. Although there is a lot of focus on using this technology from a consumer point of view, there are plenty of other use cases as well. As it turns out, 3D printing is making quite a lot of headway in the crime scene investigation world. Various crimes have been solved using 3D printers, which is quite interesting to take note of.

One of the first stories to involve 3D printing and crime solving originates from Japan. Police used a 3D printed scan of a room to reconstruct evidence. At that time, this technique was considered to be highly controversial, yet it allowed the police to ultimately apprehend the person responsible for the crime. Even though this murder case had gone unsolved for nearly two decades, the introduction of a 3D printer shed some new light on the case.

In October of 2016, a team of University of South Florida forensic anthropologists teamed up with various artists to solve 20 crimes. All of these cases related to unidentified and missing persons. With the use of 3D printers, the teams reconstructed the faces of the people involved. It is an intriguing idea to use 3D printing technology for this type of purpose, yet it goes to show how valuable this concept can be for law enforcement moving forward.

Up until this point, crime scene investigations heavily relied on evidence collected from the investigation itself. Footprints, fingerprintsand even broken materials can all contribute to solving these cases one way or another. It is evident 3D printing promises to be of great aid in this regard, as it can easily replicate footprints or tool mark impressions.

Police officials have to rely on different materials to create these solid pieces of evidence right now, yet a three-dimensional model offers a lot more potential. Additionally, in the case of footprints, researchers can create a shoe that would fit said print. Moreover, gunshot victims suffering from injuries where bullets cant be removed can be used to create a tactile piece of evidence.

One of the more controversial cases involving 3D printing during a crime scene investigation involved the printing of a murder victims phone. With this 3D printed cast, police were successful in unlocking the victims mobile phone and access all of the data on the device. It is not the first time this method is used to solve a crime, though, but this particular story got a lot of media attention for some reason.

Police techniques to unlock mobile devices involved in a crime investigation have been a bit controversial as of late. Since the person this particular phone belonged to was incapable of giving permission to unlock the device in the first place, this method seems rather immoral. Then again, it is believed the 3D printing of this victims finger eventually lead to the arrest of the person responsible for the murder, which is what is most important. Moreover, the victims body was too decayed to get a direct fingerprint, leaving very few options on the table.
