Tip

Potentially important types

of evidence

• Fibers (examine under magnifying

glass to deduce type and color)

• Hairs (reveal hair color of the

person they’re from. Caution! Could

also be from an animal.)

• Buttons (compare to determine the

article of clothing they came from)

• Dirt, such as soil on carpet (may

reveal source)

• Note (interesting contents?)

• Cigarette butts (reveal brand)

• Dirty glasses on table (reveal what

was drunk)

• Movie tickets, train tickets (reveal

where the owner was and when)

All kinds of evidence

Every crime scene is different, and

each has different kinds of clues. It

requires all the skills of a detective to

be able to recognize what counts as

evidence, to secure it, and to draw the

correct conclusions from it later on.

Try practicing searching for evidence

in one of the rooms of your house, and

note everything you find.

3. For every piece

of evidence, make

an immediate note

of what it is and

where you found

it, and, if relevant,

the condition it

is in. Use your

magnifying glass

to help you inspect

it. If something is

worth inspecting

more closely,

put it in a plastic

bag or screw-

top container and

label your sample clearly

with a permanent marker.

In search of clues

You will need:

Magnifying glass

Screw-top container

Tweezers

Plastic bag

Crime scene notepad

Permanent marker

Here’s how:

1. Begin with the floor, so you don’t

trample on any evidence. Then

check what’s on the table and other

furniture. Next, inspect windows,

doors, walls and ceiling, beginning

with the entryway and working in a

clockwise direction. Don’t forget to

look under and on top of cabinets, in

drawers, and under the sofa.

Is there a wastepaper basket? Did

something slip behind a cabinet? Is

there really just water in the flower

vase? Can you find any stains on the

wall or the floor, and if so what caused

them? Outside, pay special attention

to footprints.

2. Don’t touch the pieces of evidence

with your hands, but use the

tweezers.
