If there is a bloodstains then the location and the distribution of the blood stain along with the spatters maybe useful in explaining the events that caused the bleeding. An investigator can decipher from an individual bloodstain, the direction of blood, when it impacted the surface it was deposited on. Bloodstain patterns, consisting of many individual bloodstains…

Furthermore, with the advances in technology in today’s society, various pieces of evidence such a DNA analysis have been considered a crucial element…

Types of evidence that are most frequently analyzed during investigations includes trace evidence, biological and ballistic evidence. Trace evidence found wherever an object or person has had contact with another object or person and each of the objects leaves behind some sign of its having been there. Fingerprints and tire tracks are examples of trace evidence. Biological evidence found wherever there is bodily fluid or human or animal remains and include DNA testing.…
