Analysis

A crime scene can produce an enormous amount of trace evidence; it’s the analyst’s job to sort out the incriminating wheat from the circumstantial chaff.

 

The smallest hairs or tiniest fragments can yield up vital clues as to exactly what occurred and how it took place. With a thorough analysis of the evidence that is left behind after a crime has been committed, investigators can uncover a wealth of information about the individuals involved.
