How Soil Evidence Relates To Different Crimes
Dinosaur Eggs-
Illegal trafficking of dinosaur eggs is a billion dollar industry around the world. They are protected as relics that are illegal for sale and purchase in many countries. Soil is instrumental in proving that the eggs that may be seized by authorities originated in countries where sale and purchase is illegal as opposed to countries where it is legal.
Home Intrusions-
Burglaries Rapes, and other crimes that involve home intrusions can be solved using soil evidence distributed on the carpet when the suspect stepped on floors inside and around the house.
Murders-
Soil evidence can also be obtained from where it was deposited on victims hair, clothing, and body. This has helped to solve numerous cold cases that had no leads for over 20 years.
