In each edition of my monthly newsletter, I’ll cover a topic of interest from the forensic files.
Topics covered so far:
Fingerprints
More correctly called ‘finger ridges’, these are formed on a foetus by six months, due to the movement of amniotic fluid, and even the fingerprints of twins aren’t identical.
Digi dogs
Search dogs have been trained to locate drugs or explosives, but they can also be trained specifically to sniff out technology such as laptops, mobile phones, USB sticks and even SIM cards. First trialled in the UK by Devon & Cornwall Police, with assistance from the FBI.
