Forensic Evidence In it’s infancy…

But how did these techniques develop… Today the modern police force takes for granted many of the forensic science techniques used to catch serial sexual psychopathic killers.

Fingerprinting… Fingerprinting is an important method of identifying people. This is because everybody has a unique individual fingerprint. The first person to discover that people had individual fingerprints was a man called Francis Galton in However, the first person to use fingerprinting as a system of identification in England and Wales was Sir Edward Henry in 1901.

Adipocere Adipocere is the name given to hydrolysed fat. The formation of this on a body tells us that it has been in anaerobic or oxygen depleted conditions e.g. bogs, submerged locations or a lead coffin. The amount of adipocere formed can also determine how long a body has been dead.

Cold Environments Soft tissue can be preserved over long periods in the frozen state. The photograph is of John Torrington who died whilst on an ill fated arctic expedition between As the body was well frozen, when it was eventually exhumed in 1984 his body was well preserved with the exception of the eyelids and lips.

Footwear Impressions FWIs are virtually left at every crime scene – since entry/exit requires intruders to put their feet down. Peter Pan does not exist – Nobody flies – Tom Cruise is an exception in mission impossible. Not all FWIs are visible to the naked eye.

Evidence Edmund Locard was the first person to discover the value of trace evidence and its usefulness in solving crimes and convicting criminals. The rule is simple and is called ‘Locard’s Exchange Principle: Edmund Locard was the first person to discover the value of trace evidence and its usefulness in solving crimes and convicting criminals. The rule is simple and is called ‘Locard’s Exchange Principle: “Every contact leaves a trace. Criminals will always take with them a trace of something from the crime scene and will always leave behind some trace of having been there.” “Every contact leaves a trace. Criminals will always take with them a trace of something from the crime scene and will always leave behind some trace of having been there.”

What type of evidence exists… Tyre tracks and FWI Glass Fragments Blood + spatter Fibres – wool, nylon Hairs – human/animal bitemarks Seeds, spores related to Specific places Bullets, tools, knives and screwdrivers Cigarette ends, Saliva = DNA Insects, finger, ear and palm prints

Luminol/Heme Stix HEMATA-STIX and LUMINOL were both developed to provide the investigator with a fast, convenient, sensitive and reliable presumptive test to identify blood at crime scenes.
