Episode Overview
In the realm of crime investigation, forensic scientists delve into the mysteries of past events to uncover the who, what, when, where, and why behind criminal activities. Typically stationed in police laboratories, they gather evidence from crime scenes and meticulously analyze it. These experts search for vital clues, such as fingerprints, footprints, hair samples, blood, and gunpowder residues. Armed with advanced scientific tools, they examine even the minutest evidence, like a single hair strand or a tiny paint fragment. By rigorously testing this evidence and drawing on knowledge from previous cases, they reconstruct events to identify perpetrators and assist law enforcement in apprehending criminals.
