Blood can help solve a crime in many ways. Here are three examples: 1)There is something called the "point of convergence." This is when blood is on a surface that has a "tail" at the end of the dot showing the angle of where the person has been shot. So if the "tail" of the blood spots are all poing towards each other, you can tell where the person has been shot by drawing a line for each blood spot where they all meet. The point of convergence is where all of the lines meet. 2)Blood spatter is another way to help solve a crime. It determines the direction of where the person has been hit. For example: if they got hit with a Baseball bat at the right side of the skull, the blood spatter will travel the opposite direction. 3)Blood can also identify how long ago the person has been struck with a weapon. If the blood is liquity, that means it was recent. If the blood is a little hardened, that means it has been a while. Also, color of the blood matters too. The darker the color, the deeper the wound.
Because investigators can track the DNA and find out who the victim is if they don't already know
The most important prerequisite for photographing a crime scene is for it to be unaltered.

What are some of the steps that might be important to remember when securing a crime scene?
Forensic scientists look for blood at a crime scene because it can provide evidence of the identity of the individuals involved, the type of weapon used, the sequence of events, and the location of the incident. Blood spatter patterns can also help recreate the crime scene and establish what occurred during the crime.

Yes, absolutely. The victim's blood is expected to be found. If anyone else's blood is discovered then it is more than likely the blood of THAT Person can be used in the DNA identification of a suspect.
