I could not find any subject that was close to forensics, so I chose a random one. PLEASE HELP

A person who has never been arrested commits a crime. An eyewitness sees a person running from the crime scene. What method could investigators use to help locate the person?

Investigators can investigate the eye witness, asking questions about what the criminal looked like. They can also go off of footprints is the criminal tracked anything and try to find the shoe size to identify the criminal even further. Investigators can also locate the person if they left behind any DNA such as hair or anything that has their fingerprints on it.

Answer:

with the eye witness they could locate which direction the person ran off to. depending on which crime they commited they could have left valubal pieces of evidence that could help the investigators find out who the person is. with the eye witness they could tell teh investigators exactly where the crime was comitted, with that piece of evidence they could seach around the area for clues of who the person was. if they find out who the person was they could locate where the person lives.
