As modern forensics techniques get better and better, it allows detectives to solve crimes that were previously thought unsolvable. One of the key areas that has led to a rise in convictions for previously unsolved cases has been DNA analysis.
DNA is generally used to solve crimes in two ways. Firstly, when a suspect has been identified, a sample of that person’s DNA can be compared to a sample taken from the crime scene. Secondly, in cases where a suspect has not been identified, evidence from the crime scene can be compared to profiles in DNA databases to attempt to find a match. DNA is thought to be more reliable than traditional forensic techniques such as fingerprints. DNA can also be used to clear suspects so the police can focus their enquiries.
With the rise of people submitting the DNA online for genealogy tests and advances in storing and collecting samples, more and more DNA is being uploaded daily. Cases have been solved decades after the crimes were committed, and there are calls for many cold cases to be reanalysed using modern technology.
One of the biggest problems with DNA today is the backlog of analysing DNA samples from crime scenes. Many crime scene samples, including from sexual assault and murder cases, wait unanalysed for a long time. This prevents the perpetrators from being identified earlier.
Still working on my next fiber piece so in the meantime here is a recent morning scene at my parking lot dumpster. There are so many ways to caption this so I leave it to you dear reader to tell her story. Swipe for a closer look.

Crime Scene
Acrime scene is often preserved by setting up a blockade to control the movement in and out of a scene as well as maintaining the scene’s integrity.
A perimeter is taped off with barricade tape in order to keep only those necessary on site. This is done to prevent contaminated evidence. Investigators try to avoid contamination at all costs.
Officers take care to not eat, drink, smoke, or take their breaks near the crime scene. Anything leftover by the officers on scene could be mistaken for potential evidence and tamper with the success of the investigation. Evidence that has become contaminated, tampered with, or mistreated can pollute the scene and cause a case to be thrown out of court. $
