Solving a Virtual Mystery Case

CLUES COLLECTED

Toolmark impressions allow you to match the impression with actual tools owned by suspect.

Paint examination allows you to match a tool to the crime scene, when the tool is found.

Computer composites can help with suspect identification.

Hair analysis enables comparisons with the suspect's hair or with hair found on the suspect's clothing

Document analysis can verify the authenticity of a document and who the author is.

Fingerprint analysis is still the predominant means of establishing positive identification.

Fiber analysis rests on the principle that whenever two individuals are in contact, materials (dust, paint, cloth...) are exchanged at a microscopic level.

Blood stain pattern analysis tells you how a crime was committed.

Blood analysis lets you identify a victim or a suspect, because DNA is unique to each individual.
