Chapter 13 TRACE EVIDENCE

Trace Evidence - Evidence in small but measurable amount

found in crime scene.
Example: hair, fiber, soils, gunshot residue, glass,
etc.

A. Hair as Trace Evidence - Most common type of trace

evidence. Hair as trace evidence is very useful in:
1. Establish the scope of the crime scene;
2. Placing the perpetrator at a scene;
3. Connecting a suspect with a weapon;
4. Supporting witness statement; and
5. Connecting crime scene areas.

Locard’s Principle of Transfer believes that when a person came

in contact with another person or object, a cross transfer of minute
particles occur.
1. Primary Transfer – transfer of hair from the region of the body
where they are growing.
2. Secondary Transfer – transfer from the clothing of an individual.

Methods of Collecting Hair Evidence

1. Collection of visually observed hairs.
2. Vacuuming method.
3. Brushing, scraping or shaking of garment or other cloth objects.
4. Placing garments and fabrics in a bag and agitated.
5. Combing.
6. Clipping.
 Hair Microscopy - Examination of human hair in the forensic
laboratory conducted through the use of light microscope for:
1. Identification of the questioned hair; and
2. Comparison of the questioned and known hairs.

B. Fiber Evidence - A form of trace evidence that can be

transferred from the clothing of a suspect to the clothing of the
victim during the commission of the crime.
Fiber - the smallest unit of textile material that has a length
many times greater than its diameter.

C. Paint Examination – Examination of paints through microscope,

chemical properties, and collection of paint evidences.
Note: Example of common paint evidence is from automobile of
hit-and-run or collision cases.

D. Geology / Soil Analysis – Soil can be compared using a density-

gradient tube technique. It can be differentiated and distinguished
by its appearance.

(if you have watched the life story of Epimaco Velasco, starred by FPJ
where they were able to uncover the identity of the perpetrator who
sodomized a 2 yr. old child, thus, the pubic hair found on the genitalia of
the child was compared to the hair recovered from a hired prostitute who
slept with the suspect,so the two hair samples where compared and it
was found out that the hairs is that of one and the same person,etc)
