traces

After examining the contents of the vacuum bag, that were collected in the office, I found what looked like dirt, some strands of thread, black hair, a small fish hook, some plastic fibers, white hairs and nail (possibly fingernail) clippings.  

                The homeowner says this office is used for bookkeeping and fly tying for the fishing business her husband owns, the thread matched thread the homeowner provided, the white hairs matches the hairs from the homeowners, and she says her husband usually clips his fingernails when he is down in the office.  There were also dirt and black hairs which were unknown to the homeowners.

                I also vacuumed a rug in the bathroom. On which I have found more dirt, more black hairs, toilet paper balls, green fibers (possibly from the rug), plastic wrapping (possibly from the first aid kit that was all over the floor, will check for prints).

                Both areas have unknown dirt and black hair samples. The dirt looked like it was dragged in on a shoe, because it was spaced like the tread on the soles of shoes.

                I collected the shoes with a matching tread from our suspect in question. They match the soles from the cast imprint in the dirt behind where the crime scene took place. I notice in the soles of the shoes, tiny pebbles, fragments of glass attached to the glass is a green fiber, similar (to the eye) to the green rug in the bathroom of the house and it looks like blood on the glass, which will need further confirmation from the lab.

            Just by naked eye examination, these shoes appear to be a match to the shoe prints found in and around the crime scene, trace will tell us if they are an exact match to the crime scene. Our unknown just became suspect #1!
