	%X This paper discusses the forensic investigation of a
fatality-involved catastrophic structure collapse and the special
challenges faced when tasked with directing such an effort. While
this paper discusses the investigation’s findings and the outcome of
the event; this paper’s primary focus is on the challenges faced
directing a forensic investigation that requires coordinating with
governmental oversight while also having to accommodate multiple
parties’ investigative teams. In particular the challenges discussed
within this paper included maintaining on-site safety and operations
while accommodating outside investigator’s interests. In addition this
paper discusses unique challenges that one may face such as what to
do about unethical conduct of interested party’s investigative teams,
“off the record” sharing of information, and clandestinely transmitted
evidence.
