What techniques does an investigator use to analyze tool marks that cannot be removed from a crime scene? What is the disadvantage of this technique?
What will be an ideal response?
When removal of the tool mark is impractical, the area is photographed and marked to scale, and a silicone cast of the mark is made. The disadvantage of this technique is that even under the best conditions, the clarity of many of the tool mark’s minute details will be lost or obscured in a photograph or cast.
