Question

1. What types of evidence might be found at a bomb scene that could help

investigators catch the bomber? Choose one of the types of evidence that

you've identified and discuss how forensic scientists might find this type of

evidence at the scene and what information it might give them.

Answer 1

Substances used to make the bomb

The area it was placed

Which people were in that area

How the bomb was set off

Answer 2

Substances used to make the bomb

The area it was placed

Which people were in that area

How the bomb was set off

Step-by-step explanation:

Examining the residues left at the scene by the bomb could tell forensics what the bomb was made out of, and the police could investigate possible leads about people who purchased (or have access to) such materials.

The area should give clues because security cameras could be used to trace who was there that should not be. There would be a possible suspect.

If it is a public place, then we can see if there is anyone of importance (to the suspect) that was there at that time.

If a remote detonator was used to set off the bomb, then the suspect would have to be relatively close to the bomb.
