There are a few tests used to determine if a person has fired a
firearm recently. Older tests such as the Walker test involved
the use of a piece of paper to collect the GSR (Heard, 2008).
Newer tests involve the use of scanning electron microscopes,
or chemical spectroscopy analysis, to determine the presence of
GSR in a sample chemically and visually (Heard, 2008). An
additional test for firearm handling and GSR is the Ferrozine
test (Heard, 2008). Ferrozine is a solution that shows the
presence of iron and other heavy metals on the hand of a person
who has handled such substances (Heard, 2008). The only test
that could be considered conclusive would be spectroscopy
analysis, due to results showing the exact chemical make up of
the particles, showing 100% if the particle has atoms matching
those of GSR (Heard, 2008). Ferrozine has its issues due to the
fact that all heavy metals and iron will show up, therefor giving
the possibility of having false positives (Heard, 2008).
The way that a evidence tech would collect a shoe print in dry
dirt would be to make a cast of the impression. As with all
forensic evidence pictures will first be taken, with and without
measure, then the cast will be made and pictures again will be
taken with and without measure (Lemay, 2010). The cast will be
poured carefully and fully into the impression, then left to dry,
covered and protected (Lemay, 2010). After that the cast is
removed, packaged, marked and processed as evidence.
Tool mark impressions on the windowsill are able to be
collected in a number of different ways. One way would be to
remove the entire windowsill and package it as evidence
(Gambino et al., 2011). Another way would be to make a putty
cast impression of the tool mark on the sill. As always pictures
would be taken before anything is done to the evidence, then
after the putty has been applied. The putty is cast, and left to
dry protected, then removed and packaged as evidence
(Gambino et al., 2011).
Tire impressions in soft earth need to be handled carefully,
however a cast of them will be made, albeit the cast might be
slightly larger than the actual tire (Anon, 2006). As always
pictures are taken. Then the cast is mixed and poured into the
tire impression, where the best impression is of tread detail
(Anon, 2006). The cast is protected as it is allowed to dry, then
is carefully removed, packaged as evidence, and sent away
(Anon, 2006).
A shoe print on a loose piece of tile would be the best thing to
have. Since the tile is loose, the entire tile will be packaged as
evidence, with precaution taken to preserve the print.
Photographs will also be taken as per usual.
A shoe print that is made of dust will be lifted like a
fingerprint, as the same theory applies (Lemay, 2010). A piece
of tape or static plastic is used to lift the shoe print and attach it
to a correctly colored backing (Lemay, 2010). As always
pictures are taken before and after of the evidence.
