Heres Elizabeth Palmer. Reporter the charred wreckage of mh17 scattered across 20 square miles of Eastern Ukraine turned the whole area into a vast crime scene.

But defense analyst elliott higgins, who provided social media evidence to the dutch investigators, says photos and satellite data show that a buk missile launcher was drif intoan rebel territory from russia and fired just before the crash.
