■ To stabilize snow print with a commercial product called Snow Print Wax, allowed used in difficult surface. It's also can substituted with baby powder but can't prevent snow melting if warm water used in the process apply. So better used the proper product.

■ Snow Print Wax must be allowed at room temperature before using for spraying. It's prevent fron clumping and clogging.

■ Tool marks like doorframes, usually don't melt or washed away. Easy visible and can taken back to lab with little risk of transport damage.

■ Two types of tool marks :-
▶ Friction marks (tool rubs into surface formed marks)
▶ Stamping mark (it is standing on the place)

■ Dust impressions difficult to examine because it's can't using powdered and lifted, brushing the marks will be ruin it and photographing would be difficult even with perfect lighting.

Hair, Trace and Fiber Evidence

■ Investigators when they find a bag of evidence from human to animal trace seems like they got a box of treasure.

■ Dirt - when examiners see a lot of dirt, they will hold geology reports hope an unusual sample will lead to spesific location.

■ sometimes icicle also can make as evidence. One case about the icicle (isekel is kepingan ais runcing yang terbentuk dari pembekuan air yang menitis)

A case of icicle

A divorce women and her boyfriend of Haitian men got fight and suddenly the neighbours heard screaming from the house. What they saw is a man with a head slicing in two death in front of the door.
