Hair Detective;
1. The crime that I am investigating in this activity is, of a boy band called Crucial Cuts. And while they were performing on stage, and intruder snuck back stage and stole all of their hair products.
2. I have five hairs that were found in the boys’ room, as evidence. And hairs from all of the Sassy Snips.
3. Jade stole the hair products. I know this because the DNA sample taken from the crime scene matches perfectly with the DNA taken from Jade’s own hair.

N-Squad;
1. The crime that I am investigating in this activity is, a hit-and-run accident in the early morning somewhere near Neuropolis in which left the driver dead and his girlfriend in a coma. The road was Route 40, Location: Near Neuropolis, Year: 2260, Time: 4:30 A.M. At 6:30 A.M High above the scene of the crash, 18 year old Anna lies unconscious in an ambulance. Cody, her 19 year old boyfriend, was found dead. Everything points to a hit-and-run but I still have a final ground search to do. I collected broken glass from the crime scene, photographs of it where taken. Analysis of the glass, pain, and plastic from this crash may help identify the model of the hit-and-run driver’s car. Other evidence collected was, a towel with spots on it. It was sprayed with Luminol, is the spots on the towel are blood, the chemical will make it glow. A Trax Devil running shoe was photographed and collected. The soil and other material trapped inside it’s treads could show us where its wearer has been. A slimy substance with fibers was photographed and collected, as well as a Blu Dog Beer can. Certain chemicals or powders and the right lighting may reveal the owner’s unique fingerprints on the can. The Blu Dog Beer, went on the market only a few days before the crash, therefore, it could not have been there very long. At 7:50 A.M. The forensic scientists of N-Squad started scrutinizing the crash scene evidence.

During taking the impressions, I could see the smallest bit of blue fiber hanging from a piece of wood on the door frame. I removed the fiber tapping the sticky side of a post-it to the fiber. I then folded the post-it, labeled it and placed in an manila envelop for evidence. Walking a little further into the domain, you could see what caused the sound of glass breaking, a vase that appeared to be knocked over during the home invasion.

    In order to determine which, if any, of the two cyclists was guilty, 4 different forensic tests were conducted. Because genetic blueprints are unique, DNA is key when attempting to convict an individual. Since DNA testing is very sensitive, one must conduct these tests carefully. A technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to make millions of copies of the DNA without destroying it. Then, a restriction enzyme cuts the DNA into different fragments called reaction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at specific binding sites. Gel electrophoresis is used to move the RLPF fragments from the negative to positive pole using an electrical charge. The movement of the RFLP fragments distance depends on their size and shape; therefore, the heavier ones do not move as far as the denser ones. DNA samples were retrieved from the Biker man and Maroon Flash’s shirts to compare Reveille’s DNA and her fur using the gel electrophoresis using a ladder sample of DNA as the controlling variable. The next forensic testing compared the fingerprints on a notebook obtained at the scene to each individual suspect in order to discover to whom the notebook belonged. Fingerprints are very unique to every individual. Whorl patterns and arch patterns…
