A graphic crime scene photo is one in which the victim or victims are left with no dignity at all. I’ll just stick with Chicago. You are welcome to look up the Grimes sisters and the Peterson-Schussler boys from the late 1950s, the first crime unsolved, the second not until 1995. The body dumps. Three boys in a field, naked, beaten to death with rocks. Two sisters, found after snow melted enough to expose their naked bodies twenty-seven days after their disappearance. The Spilotro brothers, beaten to death with bats and left in an Indiana cornfield, their penises sliced off and shoved in their mouths. United 554, which crashed just short of Midway Airport in 1972. My father was on the scene, the plane had split in two after landing on three houses and a garage. There were survivors. And there were also people melted into the coils of the felt seats you saw in planes and living rooms before cheap vinyl showed up.My father went to a house back in the late 70s and found a young woman passed out on her bed, high on PCP. She had rolled over onto her baby, who then rolled over into the coil heater. People have to photograph these scenes, because they are, as you say, crime scenes. They will be entered into evidence in a court of law. For a short time that day, 9/11 was considered to be a crime scene and Google Images will offer you many photos of body parts and, in one case, an entire body that had landed partially on a filing cabinet.Graphic crime scenes are very clinical. Richard Speck killed eight nurses here in July of 1966, in the town house that they shared. His last victim, Gloria Davy, looked like his ex-wife. I’ve seen photos of her, naked on her stomach, a cord from a lamp wrapped so tight around her neck that the coroner said it was the size of a quarter.The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, in which Bugsy Moran’s gang killed seven of Al Capone’s men, took place at a garage at 2222 North Clark Street. The blood stains could never be completely washed away. One could still see the darkened areas on the day the garage was finally demolished a half-century later. So that’s a crime scene that never went away.Suicides are crime scenes. In those cases, one has to judge on merit if the victim was left with no dignity. Assaults are crime scenes. Something as simple as a bullet wound to the forearm could be graphic to some. Everything varies.If you really want to see actual photos, I’m certain you can go to Google Images or YouTube. But if you were looking for definitions, I hope I was able to give you enough examples.UPDATE 04 FEB 18: I was asked why the United crash was considered a crime scene. One of the victims from the crash was headed here to give testimony at the Metcalfe Federal Building regarding her husband and his involvement with Watergate. FBI agents were waiting at the airport, and they ultimately took active involvement in the situation.It was ruled as a crash due to weather, it was December and the plane had already circled Midway once. The impact site was about a quarter of a mile from the airport. (The plane had passed over the same street my father and his partner were driving their squad car.)

The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. This notorious and bloody gangland shooting turned the American public against mob bootleggers during the U.S. Prohibition Era.Photo: Re-enactment of the kilings. The St. Valentine's Day MassacreThe morning of February 14, 1929 was icy cold, and Chicago was already covered in a few inches of snow.[1] Seven men had gathered inside a garage on the city’s north side, at 2122 North Clark Street.Six of the men were employed by George “Bugs” Moran, a notorious Irish mob boss, bootlegger, and the criminal king of Chicago’s North side. The seventh man was a simple optometrist who enjoyed hanging out with gangsters. Thanks to his mob friends, the eye doctor would boast that “he could have anybody he didn’t like killed.”[2]The assembled gangsters were well aware of the ongoing war for control of the criminal operations in Chicago. Moran’s deadly rival Al Capone was determined to eliminate his competition for the lucrative bootlegging trade.[3]The men were waiting for their boss - Moran - to join them at the garage, which doubled as a distribution station for illegal alcohol. (The United States had recently passed the Eighteenth Amendment, which enacted the prohibition of “intoxicating liquors.”)[4]Photo: George “Bugs” Moran’s mugshot. 25 Twisted And Interesting Facts About George MoranFortunately for Moran, he had slept in that morning, and was not present when two men dressed as police officers entered the garage at 10:30am. Following close behind were two more men wearing long overcoats and toting Thompson submachine guns, filled with .45 caliber bullets.[5]The “police officers” lined the seven men up against the wall.[6] Their companions in the overcoats leveled their tommy guns at the gangsters’ backs.The harsh chatter of machine-gun fire filled the tight space as the gunman raked his Thompson back and forth, huge jets of flame leaping from the muzzle, strobing the garage as a hail of .45s caught the gangsters first in the heads, then across their backs.At such close range, the bullets shredded flesh, snapped bone, mutilated viscera, and spurted hot blood on the cold concrete floor. Some slugs passed through their targets and pounded into the brick wall, shattering into fragments and ricocheting back into the dying men.The victims spun violently and fell - on their backs, on their faces, one slumping over in a chair.[7]Once the first man was done shooting, the second killer took up his gun for the gruesome finish.The man holding the backup tommy stepped forward and fired into the men on the floor.The mechanic caught a bullet in the head, but must have been still moving, because whoever held the shotgun finished him, firing directly into his face.[8]Photo: Aftermath of the massacre. This famous photo of the crime scene was controversial when it ran in major newspapers at the time. Chicago History Museum/Getty Images Opinion | How the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Changed Gun LawsWhen law enforcement arrived on the scene, reporters also converged on the garage. The grisly scene provided endless amounts of red meat for the newspapers the next day.The Chicago Daily News described “the circle of yellow lamplight, where six things that were men are sprawled.”A Chicago Evening-American reporter, after walking around the room, remarked “I’ve got more brains on my feet than I have in my head.” [9]The New York Times listed the names of the seven murdered men and their connection to Moran’s gang:CLARK, JAMES, alias Frank Meyer and Albert Kashellek, convicted robber and burglar; brother-in-law of George Moran, the gang leader.GUSENBERG, FRANK, who died after the others were killed, but refused to talk.GUSENBERG, PETER, brother of Frank, a notorious gunman for [Moran's faction].MAY, JOHN, auto mechanic, thought to be a safe-blower before joining the Moran gang.SCHWIMMER, REINHARDT H., a resident of Hotel Parkway, an optometrist, with offices in the Capitol Building, known as a companion of gangsters, but lacking a criminal record.SNYDER, JOHN, alias Arthur Hayes, Adam Hoyer, Adam Hyers; convicted robber and confidence man.WEINSHANK, ALBERT, henchman of Moran and strong-arm agent of Chicago cleaning and dyeing industry.[10]Contract killer Frank Gusenberg was still alive when police entered the garage. He lived a few more hours, but later died at the hospital. [11]Gusenberg observed the code of silence to the end, and refused to identify the shooters, claiming “Nobody shot me.”[12]Photo: Highball, a German shepherd owned by massacre victim John May. Highball, tied to a truck in the garage, was the only survivor of the shooting. St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Wall | The Mob MuseumSuspicion quickly fell on Al Capone, who was in Miami, Florida at the time of the murders. To date, Capone is widely assumed to be the man responsible for the most notorious killings since the Chicago gang wars began in 1924.[13]Though many historians have pointed to credible perpetrators, no one has conclusively proven the identity of the killers. No suspects have ever been arrested or brought to trial.[14]Source:Collins, Max Allan and Schwartz, A. Brad. Scarface and the Untouchable: Al Capone, Eliot Ness, and the Battle for Chicago.

Question: “How does one vacuum a car?”Well you could build something like this.It is a vacuum cleaner designed by the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) to vacuum out the interior of Chicago Transit Busses after they return to the garage.Now, if you are actually asking Quora members for tips on how to vacuum out the interior of your car, I have to assume that you are, to use a technical phrase, A Real Slob, whose car has become progressively more uninhabitable and is both beginning to attract the interest of local rats while simultaneously destroying whatever may be left of your sex life. You, therefore, must need serious help.Fortunately, your problem has already been solved. Do you have any idea how much junk people leave in a city bus? Worse than the back seat of your car! I found a pair of black lace panties on the back seat after I pulled a bus into North Park Garage at the end of my run. (Well, it was the night car. And we were on Clark Street. Interesting people on Clark Street.)The CTA’s version of a car vacuum consisted of a humongous blower driven by a 10-horsepower motor. The nozzle attached to the front of the bus and entirely covered the front door. Turned it would make this god awful sound and suck anything not bolted down out the front door. I am not talking about only empty cigarette packages (and the occasional pair of panties). The mechanics claimed that they routinely had to remove unattended small children from the filters. (Child rearing in those years was a bit casual.) Didn’t seem to harm the children…with the exception that they would never after that get within ten feet of an ElectroLux.You could make a deal with your local bus garage. Or buy one for yourself. Just be sure to count the children before you turn the thing on.
