forensic scent identification

Forensic scent identification involves analyzing unique smells or scent molecules left at a crime scene to help identify individuals or objects associated with the case. Special trained dogs or scientific techniques extract scent samples from items like clothing, weapons, or skin. These samples are then compared to known scent references, such as a suspect’s personal items, to establish a match. This method can link people to locations or objects when other evidence is limited. It's a reliable tool in investigations, leveraging the unique chemical makeup of each person's scent for identification purposes.
