Forensic Files is an American documentary-style television show that explores forensic investigations of criminal cases. In season 10, episode 25, entitled "Army of Evidence", viewers are taken on a journey through the investigation of the murder of George Fauntleroy. The episode highlights the use of forensic science to solve this perplexing case and bring justice to those affected by Fauntleroy's untimely death.

The episode opens with the discovery of Fauntleroy's body in his home. The victim was a prominent member of the community and the news of his murder shook the entire town. The police immediately launched an investigation but were faced with few leads and little evidence. The case went cold, leaving investigators frustrated and the community fearful.

However, the investigators' luck began to change when they received a tip. It suggested that the perpetrators were a group of four soldiers who were stationed at a nearby military base. The officers involved in the investigation were quick to follow up on this tip and began to narrow their search to the base.

It was then that forensic evidence became crucial in the investigation. The investigators found that the soldiers had made a number of calls to each other in the hours before Fauntleroy's murder. Phone records were obtained and analyzed, revealing crucial information that tied the soldiers to the crime scene.

Additionally, the forensics team found a series of footprints outside Fauntleroy's home. The team was able to use the footprints to determine the identity of one of the soldiers. This evidence, combined with the phone records, allowed investigators to obtain search warrants for the soldiers' barracks.

Inside the barracks, investigators found a treasure trove of evidence. They found a bloodstained shirt, as well as Fauntleroy's wallet and notebook. The soldiers had tried to clean up the scene, but the forensic team was able to find traces of blood and other evidence that linked the soldiers to the crime.

Through witness statements and forensics investigations, investigators were able to identify the leaders of the group, who had orchestrated the murder. They were able to determine that the four soldiers had broken into Fauntleroy's home with the intention of robbing him. However, they had not expected Fauntleroy to be home, and when they encountered him, they decided to murder him to cover up their crime.

The forensic evidence was instrumental in securing a conviction for all four soldiers. They were found guilty of first-degree murder and received life sentences. The forensic investigations conducted in this case not only helped the investigators solve the crime, but also highlighted the importance of forensic science in the justice system.

"Army of Evidence" is a gripping episode of Forensic Files that showcases the power of forensic science and the dedication of investigators to bring justice to those affected by crime. Through the use of expert analysis of phone records, footprints, and other types of evidence, investigators were able to crack a difficult case and provide closure for the victim's family and the community. This episode serves as a shining example of how forensic science can make all the difference in solving criminal cases.
