Investigation of the Death of a Volunteer
In a South American country, a Volunteer was killed by a booby-trap gun in a rural, wooden area. The OIG Investigations Unit responded by sending a team to country to investigate the circumstances. OIG special agents interviewed community members, other Volunteers, and worked with the local police to examine the death scene, collect evidence, and conduct follow-up interviews. OIG special agents photographed and videotaped the scene, collected, reviewed, and analyzed cell phone records, cameras, laptops, and journals that belonged to the Volunteer. With host country approval, OIG special agents conducted additional interviews with villagers, and coordinated with the local police to collect further evidence. The OIG coordinated with AFIP to have a forensic team respond to country to assist with an autopsy. The investigation is ongoing.
